INSIDE THE AFC CENTRAL.(football teams, players)
2000 HIGHS AND LOWS
BEST SURPRISE: Sam Adams, DT, Ravens. They said he was an underachiever, but Adams anchored the middle of the line on the league's stingiest defense.
BIGGEST BUST (tie): Plaxico Burress, WR, Steelers, R. Jay Soward, WR, Jaguars. It's hard to say which rookie did less this season. Burress (the No. 8 pick in the draft) failed to score a touchdown; Soward (No. 29) failed to catch even 15 passes. Neither could hold a starting job,
BEST BAND-AID: Derrick Mason, WR/KR, Titans. He did it all this season: stepping in as a starting WR when Kevin Dyson got hurt and continuing as one of the league's top return men. His Pro Bowl invitation was well deserved.
MOST PAINFUL INJURY: Tim Couch, QB, Browns. The Browns weren't going to the playoffs anyway, but their offense absolutely collapsed after Couch hurt his thumb in Week 7; it averaged 7.3 ppg without its No. 1 QB.
PLAY TO REMEMBER: Tony Banks hitting Shannon Sharpe with a 29-yard TD pass in the final minute in Week 2, giving the Ravens their first win ever over the Jaguars.
PLAY TO FORGET: Cleveland G Jim Pyne injuring his knee while celebrating a Couch TD pass in Week 2. The Browns' best lineman missed the rest of the year.
