One of the most memorable performances in the history of the NFL in either a win or a loss. On Dec. 19, 2004, Roy Williams broke Terrell Owens’ right leg and tore a ligament in the ankle. The tackle would be outlawed the next season, but it was likely that the rest of the current one was over for Owens.
The Eagles played against the Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 6, 2005. Owens would indeed return to the field after surgery and two screws put in his ankle. Against the dominant Patriots’ defense, he tallied nine catches for 122 yards. If he had been healthy maybe he could have turned a few of those catches into touchdowns. Still, for all of his drama in that short stint in Philadelphia, that one night in Jacksonville will never be forgotten by those who saw it.
