I don't know that they so much overachieved as they hit 2 home runs with their first two draft picks and had several young guys like Geno, Gresham, Whit, etc come of age.
The talk at the start of that season was that they'd be lucky to win a game. Not only were they going into the season with a new QB and WR for the first time in forever, but the offseason was severely compromised due to the NFL lockout. That was one of, if not THE, best coaching job of Marvin's career in getting them to the playoffs. If that's not overachieving, what is?
