Random fact: I met John Elway on our trip to Hawaii in January, staying at the same hotel, us both out in the pool area. Him, Del Rio and John Fox were all there together (ProBowl weekend, but they clearly didn't go). Nice guy, not going to bother someone on vacation but exchanged a few football words.

Embarrassed that he caught two TD's, including the game winning one at the end of the game against SEA last year. This was before SEA got on a roll, and still have Wilson on a strict playbook, and lost on last minute drives to STL, PHX, MIA and DET. Any one of those go the other way and Seattle hosts a divisional game and gets a bye and maybe a different ending to the season. Browner should've covered him better, it was a deep in the redzone and he gave him too much space.
That's probably the highlight of Young's career and set him on his path of self destruction. Later in the year last year, he's the guy that lined up wrong and ran routes wrong intentionally to protest not getting the ball.
