“Lemme guess ... One of them was a tight end and the other was a wide receiver. :-P”

The 1993 Oilers did not have a Tight End on their roster.

No, I guess they were pretty "loose ends" by that point. :-P

Seriously ... good point. That was one of the criticisms of the "Run & Shoot" offense at the time. Without tight ends they couldn't execute well in short-yardage situations, and they couldn't run a ball-control offense. That's one big reason why they lost to Buffalo in the 1992 playoffs even though they had a 35-3 lead late in the game.
