Miami game was too early in the playoffs and     the AFC was on the brink of being a total joke for SB losses

 

 

 

Yet, it was still the greatest game I've ever seen! It had a comeback (Dolphins were down 24-0 in the 1st quarter), a punt return for a TD, the famous "hook and lateral" play with no time left on the clock before the half, a back-and-forth 2nd half, two would-be game winning field goals blocked, and a third possible game -winning field goal missed, Strock coming off the bench to light things up after Shula sat Woodley, Kellen Winslow's monster game...basically being carried off the field twice only to come back in and make some huge plays, Fouts at his best, turnovers and double turnovers (an interception that was fumbled back to the offense), an almost full extra quarter of overtime (it took San Diego almost 14 minutes into overtime to seal the win), players absolutely exhausted but still giving their all, suspense like you wouldn't believe. This game had it all. A game of mythic proportion.

 

It maybe shouldn't make a list of the most important games, since neither team made the Super Bowl. But if we are talking "Greatest" games, we are talking about the individual game, not the season that either team had, or the dominance of the NFC, or it having to be a Super Bowl. And it was the playoffs, so it did still have the one-and-done added pressure and excitement that a regular season game doesn't.

 

Greatest game? Yeah, for me, this was and still is it.
