In the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers (the 49ers won, 30-3) Everett was so rattled that he collapsed to the ground in the pocket merely in anticipation of yet another sack, even though the 49ers' defensive players actually had not yet reached him yet, a play now known as Everett's "phantom sack". From then on he was perceived to shy away from hits, and later acknowledged that his confidence was never fully restored.
This reputation led to Everett's infamous 1994 confrontation with then Talk2 host Jim Rome.
