Best job of game management ever seen in the game before or since.

@dsnfldgfds

Yea of course it is easier now with the rules of the game assisting towards the offense. Back then you could play defense and good put some contact on the receiver. Now after 5 yards if you breathe on the receiver you get flagged for PI. The game aint what it used to be.

[dsnfldgfds]

no doubt he was great but come on 5:30 left in the game? thats no heroic legendary drive, the do that now with 90 seconds left

@JuanLeg Unfortunately that was not an option in the NFL at the time. The 2 point conversion was not adopted in the NFL until 1994. At least they won in OT.

Whats the story behind the kicker not wearing a shoe?

@copsondonuts I have nothing against your version of football, Infact I am an avid watcher, but I can understand why some young Americans would turn there back on the national sport.... Our version of football opens up a complete world to the players, not in salary but the opportunity to play in different countries, experience different cultures. Both are exciting sports in their own way, whether it be a 98yd drive.... Or a 30yard free kick..... Both get the same reaction.
