after throwing four touchdown passes.

The following year however, would be a complete disaster for Hoying as he was benched midseason after not winning a single game as a starter. He did not throw a touchdown pass and threw nine interceptions. The 3–13 season led to the firing of Eagles

AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens standing in for the injured Gannon, but his team lost the game 3–16. Hoying retired after the 2001 season following a severe elbow injury. He holds the NFL record for most pass completions in a season without a touchdown. [4]
