I should have checked with Nick Volpe first. lol
If I'm not mistaken, that was Wirkowski's last ever game due to that injury. Also I think Sam Etchevvery played, although sparingly, for the Cardinals that game. Don't shoot me if I'm wrong about both accounts, I'm going strictly from memory (only from reading, not old enough to have witnessed this great stuff).

But great story. RIP Mr. Jackson.
