The 1991 Atlanta Falcons season was the team 's 26th season in the National Football League ( NFL ) . It was also the final season they played at Fulton County Stadium , before moving into the Georgia Dome the following year . The season would be the most successful Atlanta compiled in almost a decade , with the team recording a winning record for the first time in nine years . Additionally , the team won its first playoff game since 1978 , by defeating the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Wild Card Game .

Brad was on the Late Show with David Letterman in 1997 ( Episode # 5.62 ) . He is a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity .
Placekicker , or simply kicker ( PK or K ) , is the player in gridiron football who is responsible for the kicking duties of field goals and extra points . In many cases , the placekicker also serves as the team 's kickoff specialist or punter as well .
The 1990 UCLA Bruins football team represented University of California , Los Angeles ( UCLA ) in the 1990 college football season . The team was coached by Terry Donahue and finished the season with a 5-6-0 record in 6th place in the conference .
The Pac-12 Conference is a collegiate athletic conference that operates in the Western United States , participating in 24 sports at the NCAA Division I level . Its football teams compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision ( FBS ; formerly Division I-A ) , the higher of two tiers of NCAA Division I football competition . The conference 's 12 members are located in the states of Arizona , California , Colorado , Oregon , Utah , and Washington . They include each state 's flagship public university , four additional public universities , and two private research universities . The modern Pac-12 conference formed after the disbanding of the Pacific Coast Conference ( PCC ) , whose principal members founded the Athletic Association of Western Universities ( AAWU ) in 1959 . The conference previously went by the names Big Five , Big Six , Pacific-8 , and Pacific-10 . The Pac-12 moniker was adopted in 2011 with the addition of Colorado and Utah . Nicknamed the Conference of Champions , the Pac-12 has won more NCAA national championships in team sports than any other conference in history . The top three schools with the most NCAA team championships are members of the Pac-12 : Stanford , UCLA , and USC , respectively . Washington 's national title in women 's rowing in 2017 was the 500th NCAA championship won by a Pac-12 school . The current commissioner of the conference is Larry Scott . Scott replaced Thomas C. Hansen , who retired in July 2009 after 26 years in that position .
George Koonce ( born October 15 , 1968 ) is an American athlete and athletic director . A former linebacker in the National Football League ( NFL ) , he served as the athletic director at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee between 2009 and 2010 .
A linebacker ( LB or backer ) is a playing position in gridiron football . Linebackers are members of the defensive team , and line up approximately three to five yards ( 4 m ) behind the line of scrimmage , behind the defensive linemen , and therefore back up the line . Linebackers generally align themselves before the ball is snapped by standing upright in a two-point stance ( as opposed to the defensive linemen , who put one or two hands on the ground for a three-point stance or four-point stance before the ball is snapped ) . The goal of the linebacker is to provide either extra run defense or extra pass defense based on the particular defensive play being executed . Another key play of the linebacker position is blitzing . A blitz occurs when a linebacker acts as an extra pass rusher running into any exposed gap . When a blitz is called by the defense , it is mainly to sack or hurry the opposing offense 's quarterback . Linebackers are often regarded as the most important position in defense , due to their versatility in providing hard hits on running plays or an additional layer of pass defense , when required . Similar to the free safety position , linebackers are required to use their judgment on every snap , to determine their role during that particular play .
The 1990 East Carolina Pirates football team represented East Carolina University during the 1990 NCAA Division I-A football season .
National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) Football Bowl Subdivision independent schools are four-year institutions whose football programs are not part of an NCAA-affiliated conference . This means that FBS independents are not required to schedule each other for competition like conference schools do . There are fewer independent schools than in years past ; many independent schools join , or attempt to join , established conferences . The main reasons to join a conference are to gain a share of television revenue and access to bowl games that agree to take teams from certain conferences , and to help deal with otherwise potentially difficult challenges in scheduling opponents to play throughout the season . All Division I FBS independents are eligible for the College Football Playoff ( CFP ) , or for the so-called access bowls associated with the CFP , if they are chosen by the CFP selection committee . Notre Dame has a potential tie-in with the Orange Bowl . Army has an agreement with the Military Bowl ( formerly the EagleBank Bowl ) , and Notre Dame , in addition to its CFP agreement , has other bowl agreements as part of its affiliation with the Atlantic Coast Conference ( ACC ) . ( Notre Dame had similar agreements with its previous conference , the Big East . ) BYU had an agreement with the Armed Forces Bowl for 2011 . The ranks of football independents increased by one starting with the 2011 season with the announcement that BYU would leave the Mountain West Conference ( MWC ) to become a football independent starting with that season . The ranks increased by two in 2013 when the Western Athletic Conference ( WAC ) dropped football and New Mexico State and Idaho did not have a conference for football . The ranks of football independents decreased by two in 2014 with the return of Idaho and New Mexico State as football-only members of the Sun Belt Conference ( SBC ) and decreased by one more in 2015 with Navy joining the American Athletic Conference ( AAC ) as a football-only member .
The 1991 Chicago Bears season was their 72nd regular season and 21st postseason completed in the National Football League ( NFL ) . The Bears returned to the playoffs for a second consecutive season as one of three NFC Wild Cards , finishing with an 11-5 record and in second place in the NFC Central . They were beaten , however , by the Dallas Cowboys in their first playoff game . This was Mike Ditka 's last playoff game as a head coach .
James Otis Big Cat Williams ( born March 29 , 1968 ) is a former American football player . He played for the Chicago Bears throughout his 12-year National Football League career . Williams was 6 ' 7 and 330-pounds . He has two children , Jai and Jia . Williams was signed as a free agent by Bill Tobin after the 1991 draft . He played defensive tackle on a 0-11 team at Cheyney State . Williams worked his way into the defensive line rotation his rookie season , substituting for Steve McMichael and William Perry when needed . As a rookie , he blocked a field goal at Buffalo , picked up his first sack at Green Bay , and helped with the push on William Perry 's game-saving field goal block against the New York Giants . Williams played sparingly on defense in 1992 and was inactive for five straight games . The second-year tackle did not make the starting lineup following the drafting of 1991 second-rounder Chris Zorich . He was moved to offensive tackle midway through November , then to right tackle . Soon after , Williams relieved Keith Van Horne against Tampa in September , then was inactive for the final 12 games of the 1993 season .
A defensive tackle ( DT ) is typically the largest and strongest of the defensive players in American football . The defensive tackle typically lines up opposite one of the offensive guards . Depending on a team 's individual defensive scheme , a defensive tackle may be called upon to fill several different roles . These roles may include merely holding the point of attack by refusing to be moved or penetrating a certain gap between offensive linemen to break up a play in the opponent 's backfield . If a defensive tackle reads a pass play , his primary responsibility is to pursue the quarterback , or simply knock the pass down at the line if it is within arm 's reach . Other responsibilities of the defensive tackle may be to pursue the screen pass or drop into coverage in a zone blitz scheme . In a traditional 4-3 defense , there is no nose tackle . Instead there is a left and right defensive tackle . Some teams , especially in the National Football League ( NFL ) , do have a nose tackle in this scheme , but most of them do not .
The Cheyney Wolves are the athletic sports teams for Cheyney University . They compete as an independent and formerly played in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference ( PSAC ) .

The 1991 Cincinnati Bengals season was the team 's 24th year in professional football and its 22nd with the National Football League . Prior to the start of the season , the Bengals lost their patriarch when founder , former head coach and general manager Paul Brown died at the age of 82 . His son Mike would assume control of the franchise . The Bengals would stumble out the gate losing their first eight games before defeating the Cleveland Browns 23-21 at Riverfront Stadium . The Bengals would only win two more games the rest of the season finishing with a 3-13 record . The Bengals ' pass defense would surrender 7.586 yards per pass attempt in 1991 , one of the ten worst totals in NFL history . Following the season head coach Sam Wyche was fired and replaced by assistant Dave Shula . Shula , the son of former Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Colts head coach Don Shula , served as the teams wide receivers coach after a stint with the Miami Dolphins under his father , and the Dallas Cowboys as its offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach under head coach Jimmy Johnson . Upon his hiring as the Bengals head coach , he became the youngest head coach to ever be hired by an NFL team at age 32 .
Joe Derek King is a former professional American football player who played safety for five seasons for the Cincinnati Bengals , the Cleveland Browns , the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , and the Oakland Raiders .
Safety , historically known as a safetyman , is a position in gridiron football played by a member of the defense . The safeties are defensive backs who line up from ten to fifteen yards from the line of scrimmage . There are two variations of the position in a typical American formation : the free safety ( FS ) and the strong safety ( SS ) . Their duties depend on the defensive scheme . The defensive responsibilities of the safety and cornerback usually involve pass coverage towards the middle and sidelines of the field , respectively . While American ( 11-player ) formations generally use two safeties , Canadian ( 12-player ) formations generally have one safety and two defensive halfbacks , a position not used in the American game . As professional and college football have become more focused on the passing game , safeties have become more involved in covering the eligible pass receivers . Safeties are the last line of defense ; they are expected to be reliable tacklers , and many safeties rank among the hardest hitters in football . Safety positions can also be converted cornerbacks , either by design ( Byron Jones ) or as a cornerback ages ( Charles Woodson , DeAngelo Hall , Lardarius Webb , Tramon Williams ) . Historically , in the era of the one-platoon system , the safety was known as the defensive fullback ( specifically the free safety ; the strong safety would be a defensive halfback , a term still in Canadian parlance ) or goaltender .

The Big Eight Conference was a National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) -affiliated Division I-A college athletic association that sponsored football . It was formed in January 1907 as the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association ( MVIAA ) by its charter member schools : the University of Kansas , University of Missouri , University of Nebraska , and Washington University in St. Louis . Additionally , the University of Iowa was an original member of the MVIAA , while maintaining joint membership in the Western Conference ( now the Big Ten Conference ) . The conference was dissolved in 1996 . Its membership at its dissolution consisted of the University of Nebraska , Iowa State University , the University of Colorado at Boulder , the University of Kansas , Kansas State University , the University of Missouri , the University of Oklahoma , and Oklahoma State University . The Big Eight kept its headquarters in Kansas City , Missouri . In February 1994 , the Big Eight and the Southwest Conference announced that the two leagues had reached an agreement to form a new conference . The eight members of the Big Eight joined with SWC schools Texas , Texas A & M , Baylor , and Texas Tech to form the Big 12 Conference the following year . A vote was conducted on whether to keep the new conference 's headquarters in Kansas City , and by a vote of 7-5 the conference members voted to move to Irving , Texas , a suburb of Dallas . The two Oklahoma schools , all four Texas schools , and Colorado voted for the move while both Kansas schools , Nebraska , Missouri , and Iowa State voted for Kansas City .
The 1991 Denver Broncos season was the team 's 32nd year in professional football and its 22nd with the National Football League ( NFL ) . The team improved on its 5-11 from 1990 , winning their third AFC West title in five years , and advanced to the AFC Championship game .

A running back ( RB ) is a member of the offensive backfield in gridiron football . The primary roles of a running back are to receive handoffs from the quarterback to rush the ball , and block . There are usually one or two running backs on the field for a given play , depending on the offensive formation . A running back may be a halfback ( in certain contexts also referred to as a tailback ) , a wingback or a fullback . A running back will sometimes be called a feature back if he is the team 's starting running back .

The 1991 Kansas City Chiefs season was the franchise 's 22nd season in the National Football League and 32nd overall . They failed to improve on their 11-5 record from 1990 and finished with a 10-6 record . The Chiefs passing game was n't as good as their 1990 campaign as Steve DeBergs consistency dropped . The running game made up for lost time as Christian Okoye ran for 1,031 yards for the season , and Barry Word was productive , and rookie Harvey Williams was outstanding in limited playing time . The Chiefs defeated their division rival , the Los Angeles Raiders in the Wild Card round , resulting in the franchise 's first playoff victory since Super Bowl IV in 1970 .

After a 9-4 start , the team lost its last three games , but did qualify for the playoffs for the second straight season . The Raiders were inconsistent offensively , with struggling quarterback Jay Schroeder eventually benched in favor of rookie Todd Marinovich . It was notable that future Hall of Famer Marcus Allen 's role was restricted mainly to backing up newly acquired Roger Craig , and future All-Pro Tim Brown also played mostly as a reserve , starting only one game .

The 1991 New York Giants season was the franchise 's 67th season in the National Football League . The Giants entered the season as the defending Super Bowl champion but failed to qualify for the playoffs . They were the eighth team in NFL history to enter a season as the defending Super Bowl champion and miss the playoffs , and became the first organization in NFL history to do so twice ( the Giants missed out on the playoffs a season after winning Super Bowl XXI as well ) . The 1991 season marked the first season that the Mara family did not have total ownership of the Giants . Wellington Mara 's nephew Tim , who had inherited the half-stake in the team that his grandfather and namesake had given to Tim 's father Jack , decided that he no longer wanted to be involved with the team after twenty-six years , most of which had been spent feuding with his uncle over the team 's operations . On February 2 , 1991 , shortly after Super Bowl XXV , Tim Mara announced he had sold his family 's stake in the team to businessman Bob Tisch , the co-founder of Loews Corporation and former United States Postmaster General . Tisch did not take an active role in the operations of the team , instead choosing to focus on the team 's finances ; this enabled the Maras to keep control of the football side of the team and allowed Wellington Mara 's son John to take a more active role with the Giants . The 1991 season also marked the first time since 1983 that the Giants entered the season with a new head coach . Bill Parcells decided to retire following the Super Bowl victory and general manager George Young chose to promote Ray Handley , the team 's running backs coach , to the position instead of promoting defensive coordinator Bill Belichick ; Belichick would leave the Giants soon after to become head coach of the Cleveland Browns . During the Giants ' previous season Phil Simms entered the year as the starter and started the first fourteen games of the season . In the course of that fourteenth game , where the Giants hosted the Buffalo Bills , Simms suffered a severe foot injury and backup Jeff Hostetler took over and led the Giants through the playoffs and to their Super Bowl victory over those same Bills . Simms did recover from his injury and was expected to regain his starting position , but Handley decided to make Simms and Hostetler compete for the position .
Thomas Francis Rouen ( born June 9 , 1968 , in Hinsdale , Illinois ) is a former American football punter best known as the long-time punter for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League .
A punter ( P ) in gridiron football is a special teams player who receives the snapped ball directly from the line of scrimmage and then punts ( kicks ) the football to the opposing team so as to limit any field position advantage . This generally happens on a fourth down in American football and a third down in Canadian football .

The tight end ( TE ) is a position in American football , arena football , and formerly Canadian football , on the offense . The tight end is often seen as a hybrid position with the characteristics and roles of both an offensive lineman and a wide receiver . Like offensive linemen , they are usually lined up on the offensive line and are large enough to be effective blockers . On the other hand , unlike offensive linemen , they are eligible receivers adept enough to warrant a defense 's attention when running pass patterns . Because of the hybrid nature of the position , the tight end 's role in any given offense depends on the tactical preferences and philosophy of the head coach . In some systems , the tight end will merely act as a sixth offensive lineman , rarely going out for passes . Other systems use the tight end primarily as a receiver , frequently taking advantage of the tight end 's size to create mismatches in the defensive secondary . Many coaches will often have one tight end who specializes in blocking on running plays while using a tight end with better pass-catching skills in obvious passing situations . Offensive formations may have as few as zero or as many as three tight ends at one time .
