Sure was. And I agree, the Ice Bowl was good too.

Not sure what year it was but the triple overtime game between Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs was exciting too.

Wasn't that the San Diego Chargers whom played in the OT game?

ASU scores with 90 seconds left to go up 17 to 13. Ohio State marches the length of the field (after sputtering the whole game) to score and go up 20 to 17. ASU gets the ball goes 50 yards but runs out of time to lose the national championship 20 to 17.

Arena Bowl XVIII in 2003, when veteran backup Pat O'Hara replaced John Kaleo and erased a deficit for the Tampa Bay Storm to beat the Arizona Rattlers for their 5th AFL Championship. That was the best Arena Football game I've ever actually watched, especially with who won.

Vick carried his team for a while, but just got too beat up in the 4th. Was a great game to watch. The other would have the be this years Steelers Colts playoff matchup like previously mentioned. I AM a Steeler's fan, and could not believe how the Steelers and Refs were trying to give the colts every chance to win... I about died 3 times... :)

You're not the only one.I wonder how many other teams can claim giving a fan a heart attack.

I think it was in '95.I read about it in the next days paper.They played it in Chicago in near hurricane force winds and a driving rain.If my memory serves then there was almost no passing,and i think the two teams combined for 300+yards rushing as it was impossible to throw the ball under the conditions.A real oddity in modern football.

Anyone know which game i'm thinking of,and if so if there is anywhere to get it?

For the pros (I don't see much CFL here in the States), I'd have to go with the 1992 AFC Wildcard Playoff game between the Houston Oilers and Buffalo Bills. Simply, the most amazing "blowout" to start a game---Houston was up 35-3---then, the most amazing comeback in football history, a 41-38 overtime win for the Bills. I've often thought as those Buffalo teams to be the greatest team to never win a Super Bowl. I'm a Steeler fan, but am afraid any of those teams may have destroyed my Super Bowl XL champs.

The comeback never happened.Beebee stepped out of bounds on the touchdown that began the flurry.

Christmas Eve, 1950.


I'll elaborate: Hall of Famer Lou Groza (in what has been called his greatest moment) kicks a Field Goal in the last seconds as the Cleveland Browns, in their first year in the league, defeat the Los Angeles Rams 30-28 in the NFL championship game.

Otto Graham completed 22 of 32 passes for 298 yds and 4 TDs for the Browns while Bob Waterfield was 18 of 31 for 312 yds, one TD but had 4 intercepted for the Rams.
