[@davidroberts7282]

Several other players on both these teams ended up going to multiple Pro Bowls, possibly might end up being future Hall of Famers themselves: Charlie Garner, Sebastian Janikowski, Shane Lechler, Lorenzo Neal, Donnie Edwards, Philip Buchanon, all of these players were voted to at least one Pro Bowl throughout their respective careers, two more of them (Janikowski and Lechler) have been consistently voted by writers, fans, and fellow players as being some of the very best at their positions, and along with Adam Veniteri of NE/Indianapolis, could end up being eventually inducted into the Hall of Fame. Lorenzo Neal won't end up being enshrined in Canton, but during his long, very successful career from 1993-2007, he was voted to multiple Pro Bowls and considered one of the best FBs of his era, Donnie Edwards had a great career at LB with Chargers and Chiefs, and both Buchanon and Garner were underrated, consistently successful position players over their careers. Garner was a bit of a late bloomer at RB IN Oakland and Tampa Bay, he became a far better, reliable RB as he grew older, sort of in the similar fashion Roddy White did over the course of his long, fruitful career as a WR for Falcons.

@@mattthieme2918 I guess I just mean the position in general has become forgotten. With that, means many people missing out on talented ones in the past. If you are talking specifically about the best fullbacks, he wouldn't be forgotten but if you were talking about that Chargers team, people mention LT/Brees, but rarely mention Neal. It's almost like forgetting important O-Lineman on great teams. It just comes with the position.

I remember vividly this game being treated as a struggle for the Raiders as they narrowly avoided a 1-3 start. In hindsight, it was the high point of a very disappointing 4-12 season. Gannon's last win in 2003 and the Raiders last win over the Chargers until 2010.
