San Diego did come back to win in OT 41-38.
Greatest NFL game ever.
Thanks! My memory was way off. I thought that Miami went to the SB that year. (1982?)
Actually, San Diego won the game, but the Dolphins did tie it up just before halftime on a hook-and-ladder that sent the Orange Bowl into a frenzy. Best NFL game I've ever seen.
How Rickey Jackson of the New Orleans Saints is left out but Andre Tippett makes it is an absolute joke!!!
