We unintentionally left off two Trojans from our list of USC alumni just one win away from the Super Bowl. Tailback Chauncey Washington was a late-season addition to the New York Jets' active roster and is now their third tailback, while tight end Billy Miller has been on the New Orleans Saints' injured reserve all season.

Those two additions now mean seven Trojans are on the payrolls of the four remaining NFL teams in the playoffs, including five on the actives rosters. Here's the full list:

- Minnesota Vikings: OL Drew Radovich (*on the practice squad)
