OT - One hit wonder?

Submitted by canzior on

Slow day at work...exhausted of the OSU stuff...and was watching a great video on Youtube of the 2002 Red Wings playoff run. Noticed a couple names on the team that I thought would be great, but didn't quite pan out. I thought of framing this question as the closest thing to Al Bundy in sports, someone who is still bragging about that one game...or one season..but one hit wonder seems to encompass that. So ..any athletes come to mind that could fall under the one hit wonder category? 

I guess it could be a play or a game even. Maybe a streak in baseball? A season gets dicey because who is Tressel without his title? or Lloyd Carr? Still good coaches, but I could see an argument being made.

 

Growing up in the DC area, I'd vote Timmy Smith or Doug Williams from Super Bowl 21. 

My honorable mention: Trent Dilfer

Matt Flynn vs the Lions. 480 yards and 6 TDs. By far the best game of an otherwise unremarkable career. Think it set some single game franchise records...in a franchise thats had Favre and Rodgers..
