Football is unquestionably a team game but occasionally a single player can alter the course of a franchise's destiny. Sometimes they decide their own team's fortune and other times it's their opponent's path that is forever changed.

The Monster of the Midway marched into the 1986 NFL season as conquerors. Reigning Super Bowl champs who had absolutely dismantled the rest of the league in historic fashion.
