Week 6 Trivia - Answer


Seeing Mike Utley on the sidelines during the Pitt-Lions game yesterday brought me back to my saved newspaper clippings of that fateful Sunday.  He was a good player and his accident seemed to be so freakish and most notably so innocent I still wonder how he was hurt so badly on the play.  Truly a sad day for him and his family, the Lions organization and the NFL as a whole. 

ANSWER:

The Lions were playing the LA Rams  when Mik Utley was paralyzed.  It seemed like the most innocent of plays when it happened.  I remember watching the replay on Sportscenter a million times.  For those that answered NY Jets  - I think thet were playing the Lions when a defensive linemen (last name Byrd??) was paralyzed.

Technically

It was the LA Rams, not St. Louis.

Heart Warming.

Bullet Bill Dudley, Hall of Fame player was at the game and got a nice applause but Chief got a much warmer reception.
