In the 1998 AFC Divisional Round, Keyshawn Johnson made his playoff debut with a stunning performance for the Jets against the Jaguars. This game also showcased a notorious sideline spat between head coaches Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick over a substitution involving Johnson as a defensive back. Parcells pushed for Johnson's inclusion while Belichick objected, leading to heated exchanges. Eventually, Johnson got his chance, even intercepting a pass during the game, contributing to the Jets' successful playoff run under Parcells.
Before the half, Jimmy Smith scored, I believe, so I was supposed to go in the game and be the safety... Parcells and Belichick got into it.
He was like 'no', and Parcells told him something to the effect of: 'You think you know every [expletive] thing. That's why you [expletive] got fired from Cleveland.'
I watched Bill get at Charlie Weis one time... The cards weren't in sync. It was all messed up.
Johnson caught the only interception of his career, helping the Jets reach the AFC title game where they lost to Denver.
