That's part of the fun!
Adds that "what the heck???" teaser at the end that can generate discussions like this.
Yep -- you got two of them: "Rosebud" Texas for LT, and "X"enia, Ohio for Cole
And it was Tony Gonzales who made the pass to Ricks. But I also have to apologize, because I double-checked, and the first player site I referenced on Ricks was incorrect. It wasn't actually a TD pass as that source had listed -- it insead
set up a TD. Here's from a player site on Gonzales, listing his key events in 2001:
" (Gonzales) Completed his first NFL pass for 40 yards to fellow TE Mikhael Ricks to set up a TD at San Diego (11/4)."And from the NFL.com gamelog (KCC vs SD 11/4/2001):
1-10-SD 47 (5:31) T. Gonzalez pass to M. Ricks to SD 7 for 40 yards (R.Harrison).
1-7-SD 7 (4:48) T. Richardson right end to SD 6 for 1 yard (R.Harrison).
2-6-SD 6 (4:07) P. Holmes up the middle to SD 3 for 3 yards (J.Parrella).
3-3-SD 3 (3:30) P. Holmes left end for 3 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
So I apologize again for not double-checking my facts... :bangs-head:
But to make it up to ya, I'll give the answers to a couple of the others in case you're curious:
-- Kitna started in Seattle behind Warren "Moon" on the depth chart.
-- And Brady's first game -- a victory over Indy where they scored 44 points? He passed for ZERO TDs -- None, Zip, Nada. Just 13 of 23 for 168 yds. The Pats had 2 TDs by Antowain Smith, 1 by Faulk, 2 INT returns for TD, and 3 fieldgoals. But none by Brady.
