Week One recap
1989 Kansas City Chiefs (8-7-1) at 1998 Minnesota Vikings (15-1)
Week one brings a “sort-of” rematch of Super Bowl IV which of course resulted in the Vikings first of many Super Bowl losses.
The game was very even statistically. Rushing yards: 205 to 194. Passing yards: 170 to 194. First Downs: 20 to 19. Christian “The Nigerian Nightmare” Okoye* – 133 yards and 1 touchdown. Robert “I have a very boring name” Smith – 148 yards and 2 touchdowns. However in the end, it was Randall Cunningham’s two fourth quarter td passes that gave the Vikes the 34-23 win. Good start to the season. Minnesota 1-0.

* One of the best NFL nicknames of all time. Anyone remember how hard this guy was to tackle in the NES game Tecmo Super Bowl.

Around the League
’72 Miami Dolphins (14-0) vs. ’90 Los Angeles Raiders (12-4)
Larry Csonka ran for 87 yards and two touchdowns and was Player of the Gane in the Dolphins 23-13 win

’85 Chicago Bears (15-1) vs. ’86 Cleveland Browns (12-4)
Bernie Kosar was ineffective for the Browns (11-19, 147 yards) and their leading rusher was Kevin Mack with 68 yards. Despite the close final score (Chicago 19, Cleveland 14), da Bears defense was tough giving up a garbage td with 3 minutes left in the game.

Surprise of the Week
’07 New England Patriots (16-0) vs. ’74 Washington Redskins (10-4)
Billy Kilmer & Moses Denson outplay Tom Brady and Randy Moss. Don’t worry, I had never heard of these guys either. The game was tied at 13 at 11:01 in the fourth quarter before the Redskins came alive and scored two quick touchdowns to seal the deal. Interesting start for one of the Ultimate64 favorites.
