In keeping with the theme of the last handful of posts, this story is for the diehard old-time Eagles fans...
The year was 1968. Back then it was a 14 game season. Going into week 12, the Eagles were 0-11. They were on their way to the #1 overall pick in the 1969 draft. They won their next 2, lost their last, and finished with a record of 2-12. Of course they narrowly missed out on the #1 pick, but they did manage to draft RB Leroy Keyes with their top pick. He went on to have a stellar (I mean cellar) career, racking up a grand total of 369 yards over 5 seasons, with a 3.0 YPC. And who did they miss out on because of that 2nd win? Just some guy named Orenthal James Simpson.
