Greetings everyone and welcome to my replay of the 1996 NFL season using Game Winning Drive Football! This will perhaps be the crown jewel of all the NFL replays I've done on this forum. Before the opening kickoff, I'd like to acknowledge Mark Miller over at Fast Drive Football for the system I used to determine the length of both made and missed field goals. I was considering doing the same for touchdowns, but that would have over-complicated things a little to much. Credit also goes to Chris Creamer's Sportslogos site for the team and league logos, the Gridiron Uniform Database for the uniform images, and the Helmet Project for the helmet graphics. All that said, thanks everyone for checking this out and I hope you all enjoy the replay!
