It was smelly, shabby and too small for me, but none of that mattered - it was my lucky NFL football jersey(运动衫), a black-and-gold No. 36 Jerome Bettis shirt.

As I looked around at the fans celebrating in the Pittsburgh streets, I could see that they felt they had won the game themselves. And in a way, they hadtheir weird(奇怪的)rituals had worked.
