I always point this out about that 2000 team - they beat the best in the nfl. In addition to beating both super bowl teams, they beat the Rams, who were defending champs & still a really good playoff team. They also beat Tampa, who was in the playoffs that year.

But, that 2000 team did play down to its competition; swept by dallas & lost to arizona e.g. People will always hold that team up as the example of the danny trying to buy a championship, but that team was really good, they just fell apart & lacked leadership. Norvelle was not the guy that could pull together that group of vets.
