No excuse but that simply wasn’t a fair fight.

Not an excuse, but a very valid reason. Expecting any team to "control" their own destiny given those circumstances is beyond reason. Even the Miami fans in the Dome that night were aware of the handicap and some were even outwardly apologetic. We sat there until the final seconds ticked off the clock and couple of Dolphin fans sitting up behind us told us on our way out that they knew it wasn't fair, but they'd take it.
