This is not an easy admission for Jason Taylor. He has spent more than half of his life making life miserable for the pretty boys who play sports' most glamorous position. He has chased, jarred and slammed them, all while striving to separate them from the football - and if they got separated from a limb in the bargain, so be it. If Wile E.

Rivers came into the game with a 101.4 mark. In beating the Bucs he posted a mark of 136.7 and he did so rather effortlessly.
