Oakland beat Cleveland with redright88.


*edit maybe Oakland beat Houston in the wildcard game and went on to win the SB.

*second edit: I think Amad Rashad beat Cleveland in week 15 with that damn catch.

I thought "veteran" was a part of the 1989 question.

That Cowboys team also had Steve Walsh out of Miami
