This context makes the cultish following of this play make more sense, thank you. I’ll say it’s still held in too high a regard since you need all that context to really understand why it’s significant. It’s also significant as a point in time for a mediocre team becoming bad, which isn’t particularly noteworthy in the grand history of the NFL. I’m still gonna hate on it, but maybe not as much as I used to.

I legitimately don’t understand why people reference this so much as a memorable moment. It wasn’t particularly unique or interesting. Shit like this has happened before and has happened since. It would make it into a random bloopers youtube video, but it’s not some all time moment.
