In 2004, the Pittsburgh Steelers were 14-1 facing the 9-6 Buffalo Bills. The Steelers started Brian St. Pierre at QB and an undrafted, 4th string running back named Willie Parker.

You never know what diamonds in the rough you'll find by playing your backups against teams that are still fighting. One point I forgot to make.
