The on-the-field result wasn't the only thing about this game that was bad.
During the wild card round of the 2002-03 NFL playoffs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002%E2%80%9303_NFL_playoffs#AFC:_New_York_Jets_41,_Indianapolis_Colts_0), when the New York Jets hosted the Indianapolis Colts, ABC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Monday_Night_Football#1986%E2%80%932005:_Al_Michaels_era) decided to use (https://archive.506sports.com/wiki/2002_NFL_Season) their top college football crew of Brent Musburger and Gary Danielson on the call (https://nypost.com/2003/01/06/coverage-was-fiesta-of-flubs/), despite the fact that they had called no NFL games all season, and despite the fact that they easily could've used ESPN's crew, just as they had done in the past. Not only was this decision widely criticized, but it ended up backfiring in spectacular fashion.
