11 JAN 2024 · After getting out to a perfect 4-0 start, the Baltimore Ravens were feeling pretty good about the experiment that was the 2006 season. That multiple unstable compounds such as a talented but unsatisfied roster, a head coach teetering on the hot seat, and an accomplished but ailing veteran quarterback could gel like that to start the year was a great feeling. But when they hit a bump in the road heading into their bye week, Brian Billick began to feel that drastic change was needed. That change combined with the remarkable consistency of a roster that was buoyed by a new guard of young talent was what kept them on track, and aiming for a shot to go back to the Super Bowl. Steve McNair had his eyes on the Super Bowl, but he also had them on a game circled on his calendar since before the start of the season - November, 12th, 2006, in what would be his first (and last time) in Adelphia Coliseum as anything other than a Titan. Needless to say, it would be a defining moment of the season for both him, and his teammates that wanted it so badly for him.
