description

Jacksonville's star running back Fred Taylor provided the defining blow in one of the most lopsided games in NFL Playoff history. Taking this handoff from the Jaguars' own 10-yard line, Taylor was forced to immediately bounce this one to the outside, shaking off one tackler before even getting back to the line of scrimmage. He then cut by another defender, and then another, before kicking it into high gear and accelerating downt he right sideline. Though a Dolphins defender kept pace with him the entire way, he'd wind up scoring untouched from that point on, crossing the goal line with a teammate for a sensational 90-yard score. Taylor also had a 39-yard touchdown reception in this one as well, and finished with 174 yards of total offense, as Jacksonville beat Miami, 62-7, in this Divisional Round matchup on Jan. 15, 2000.
