1984 Miami Dolphins.......31



The Dolphins upset the 49ers with 18 unanswered points in the second half. Dan Marino is 22/30 for 194 yards and two touchdowns while Steve Young throws fof four interceptions doing away with his reputation as an accurate quarterback.

A big upset as the Dolphins and Marino move on.

At Heinz Field
1967 Oakland Raiders..........19
2005 Pittsburgh Steelers......18



George Blanda nailed a 54 yard field goal with 14 seconds left to play to give the dramatic win and another upset to the Oakland Raiders. Blanda had 5 field goals on the day and this back and forth defensive battle had it all.

Ben Roethlisberger did throw two crucial interceptions in the loss.

Fourteen points in the fourth quarter and the Steelers show their grit by beating the competitive Redskins.

At Candlestick Park
1984 SF 49ers...........13
2006 Chicago Bears....16 (OT)



A Robbie Gould field goal of 54 yards in overtime gives the Bears and Lovie Smith a stuning win against the heavily favored 49ers.
The first half was a defensive struggle with Lance Briggs especially good with 13 tackles.

Rex Grossman hit Desmond Calrk for a 53 yard touchdown while Joe Montana found Roger Craig for a score and the game was tied late. Ray Wershing had a chance but missed a 57 yard kick as time expired.
The Bears won the toss and Devin Hester set his team up just within Robbie Gould range and the great Chicago special teams proved the diffrence.
