Jared Allen gave the Minnesota Vikings a show in an otherwise-meaningless game at the end of a forgettable season.
The former Idaho State player finished just short of the all-time NFL single-season sack record.
?It?s like being runner-up at the prom. The crown just doesn?t weigh as much,? Allen said with a big smile.
He had 3.5 sacks in Sunday?s game and finished the season with 22 sacks, behind Michael Strahan?s 2001 mark of 22.5 for the New York Giants. Allen had 20 minutes of game time left to get the record, but the Bears started running the ball more and giving left tackle J?Marcus Webb plenty of help down the stretch.
Allen tied Mark Gastineau of the Jets in 1984 for the second-highest total in history and bested Chris Doleman?s franchise record of 21 in 1989. ?
You wish McCown would have pulled a Brett Favre and rolled around a little bit,? joked linebacker Chad Greenway.
Favre went down rather easy in 2001 when Strahan chased him down to set the record. Allen also had five tackles (three solo).
? Lions WR Titus Young (Boise State) had four catches for 24 yards and two TDs.
? Cardinals guard Daryn Colledge (Boise State) had one solo tackle.
? Rams safety Quintin Mikell (Boise State) had seven tackles (six solo).
? Jets punter T.J. Conley (Idaho) had five punts, 191 yards (38.2 average).
? Bears safety Winston Venable (Boise State) had one solo tackle.
? Cowboys CB Orlando Scandrick (Boise State) had four tackles (three solo).
