In 1997, Lake was named AFC Defensive Player of the Year by the Kansas City Committee of 101. For the second time, Lake played the majority of the season at corner. He also received a vote for MVP from Sports Illustrated writer Peter King, which created a situation where Barry Sanders and Brett Favre tied for the award that season. [39]

Jacksonville Jaguars

In 1999, Lake departed the Pittsburgh Steelers and joined the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency.

He was reunited with Jaguars' defensive coordinator Dom Capers, who had previously held the same position with the Pittsburgh Steelers. [40]

On August 17, 2000, Lake underwent surgery on a recurring injury to his left foot and was expected to miss the entire 2000 NFL season. Lake elected to have a bone graft and had a piece of his hip bone grafted to his injured left foot.
