Easy one for me, but somewhat of an obscure "grudge"...****ing Kevin Henry - prounounced KEE-VIN...1997, Pats have a really good team...start out 4-0 (one of my fav games of all time as a season ticket holder was the 31-whatevr late september blowout of Chicago at home - beautiful sunny fall day, great tailgate, Pats blowout, Troy Brown took a slant like 60 yards for a td...but i digress). After 4-0 start, Pats go Denver on Monday night, national audience and hang for a half w the eventual SB champs and imo one of the best teams of the 90s)...ok, getting sidetracked...
But anyway, Pats start off great, hit a couple road bumps, then right the ship and head into hosting pittsburgh in a sunday national game at 4 in foxboro...if the Pats beat pittsburgh they have a great chance at a bye and #2 seed...They start off great, jump out to a 14-0 lead, and hold a 21-13 lead just outside of the two minute warning iirc....Bledsoe throws an unGodly terrible pass that's picked off by Kevin Henry, returned and lateralled for a TD but its' called back for illegal fwd pass. But anyway, Pittsburgh scores in like 1:30, gets the 2 point conversion, ties game, gets kickoff in OT, drives the field and kicks a gw fg in OT.. God i ****ing couldn't stand those pittsburgh clubs...but for me, it's henry because if he doesn't make that pick 90% the Pats win that game, get a bye, and are HOSTING pittsburgh in the divisional roound instead of losing 7-6...
I have a deep ingrained loathing for all things Cowher Pittsburgh in the 90s - Kordell Stewart, Mark Bruener, Henry, Yancey ****ing Thigpen, Bettis, Levon Kirlkland, Lloyd, Greene....make me puke...but we got them back bigly in 2001 the bledsoe pass henry intercepted might be one of the worst passes of his career...
