What a crazy game this was.
Week 1
1999
Patriots at Jets
This 7 min video does a good job telling the story... The 1999 Jets were a team of hope, but lost starting QB Vinnie Testaverde to achilles injury in this game, week 1.
In steps Tom Tupa, the punter, as the backup QB in the 1st quarter.
The video explains why Parcels chose to go with the Punter over backup Rick Mirer. In short, he would have had to play without a punter had he used Mirer.
Tupa throws 2 TD’s in a crazy game... a season the Jets fall 1 win short of the playoffs.
Parcels retires after this season at 58, and Bellichick ends up in New England.
What if the Jets made the playoffs? Does Parcels retire? Does Bellichick leave?
That story begins with this game.
