It's not like they're going to have Flacco's picture up there for every one of their games. It's only being done for a primetime nationally televised game one time.
And no, chopblocks were NOT legal in those days & please don't give me any lines of BS about missed holding calls, because what happened in '97 and '98 with Denver is that holding wasn't being missed, it was blatantly not being called and it was happening on just about every play. In ' 99 they were getting called for it & with them not being able to get away with it, opposing defenders were getting off their blockers and they beat Terrell Davis to a pulp and ended his career.
