Burn of The Week - Wesley Walker

Let’s look back to Week 3 of the 1986 NFL season for the newest installment of the Blaze ‘Burn of The Week.’ Our honorary recipient is New York Jet great, Mr. Wesley Walker. The Miami Dolphins had traveled to the Meadowlands to face against the Jets in what would become an epic offensive battle between quarterbacks Dan Marino and Ken O’Brien. Between the two gunslingers they amassed 884 yards and 10 touchdowns. Wesley torched the Miami secondary for 194 yards on 6 catches & 4 of Kenny’s touchdowns. His third TD came as time ran out in the 4th quarter to tie the game at 45 & force OT. O’Brien found Wesley again in Overtime for a 43 yard walk off touchdown. Jets-51 - Dolphins-45
