Throwback game ideas for this week: Patriots/Jaguars: 1996 AFC Championship Game Seahawks/Falcons: 2012 NFC Divisional Playoffs Eagles/Giants: 2006 Week 2 (Eli’s OT comeback) Jets/Steelers: 2004 AFC Divisional Playoffs
I’ll never forget watching Jaquizz Rogers truck Earl Thomas and knock him on his ass in that 2012 Seattle/Atlanta playoff game. Pretty sure Denver lost to Baltimore that same night on the Rahim Moore blown coverage on Jacoby Jones.
That Colts team overachieved their way into an AFC title appearance and almost caught a Hail Mary at the end of that game that would’ve sent them to the Super Bowl. I can only imagine how much better they could’ve been if they had Marshall Faulk, who was injured in the wildcard playoff game against San Diego.
Awesome upload!!! Miami tried going heavy in '95 like the 49ers did in '94, but it didn't work out. Shula was getting so much heat from the fans, and this was his last year. Dolphins haven't been the same since both Marino, and Shula were both around in my mind.
I agree I’m from New England and a patriot fan however growing up as a kid i always liked the dolphins 🐬 there my other favorite team ! Mixed emotions when they played each other!
BTW I know this is weeks from now, but for the 49ers/Bills primetime showdown perhaps you can spotlight the Bills/49ers '95 SNF game. Has my favorite 49ers defensive play ever with that Lee Woodall 96 yard fumble recovery for a TD!!! Just something to think about :D
Harbaugh was MVP level good in the 12 games he started during the 1995 season, nearly leading the Colts to a Super Bowl(fell just short on a hail mary).
The 1995 Colts were a scrappy team led by the NFL's most efficient passer that season in Jim Harbaugh. They upset the 49ers in the regular season as well as the Chargers and Chiefs in the playoffs. If Aaron Bailey held onto the Hail Mary pass in the AFC Championship, they would have advanced to the Super Bowl
Miami should've put a ton of stock in the defense, especially here in Dan's later years. Could u imagine Marino with those 90s Steelers defenses? I still despise Noll and Rooney for passing on Marino in the 83 draft.
Indeed, indeed. Few years later, Manning was drafted to the Colts and played alongside Marshall Faulk for the '98-'99 season before Faulk was traded to the St. Louis Rams to help the Rams win their Super Bowl as a St. Louis team.
With the Vikings and Lions set to clash this weekend, might I recommend their battle down to the wire from Week 15 of 2004? The Don Muhlbach long snap disaster?
Yes as far as Matt Millen years go, that is probably the most hapless loss that isnt well remembered, because it didn't happen during 0-16. And a certain play by Orlovski also against the Vikings topped it.
The 95 colts came back from two 21-point deficits vs. the jets and dolphins on the road. They won them both in OT 27-24. If they lose those games, they miss the playoffs, and don't go all the way to the afc title game
Harbaugh wasnt a great player but he had heart and bled over to coaching. I believe if san fran never forced him out mahommes only has 1 ring. And i think mahommes is an all time great
I remember this game very well. Jim Harbaugh led the Indianapolis Colts to a 27-24 victory over Dan Marino's Miami Dolphins. It was a memorable game, showcasing Harbaugh's leadership and Marino's legendary skills. Jim Harbaugh completed 21 of 33 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown, while Dan Marino threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns.
This game deflated the 95 Dolphins. They were 4-0 going into this game. They limped the rest of the way to 9-7 where Buffalo dumped them again. Then Don Shula retired.
This game was unfortunately and effectively the nail in the coffin for Shula and for the 95 season. The calling for that quitter and overrated coach Jimmy Johnson who would go on to quit twice in back to back years which I think is a world record became louder from Dolphins fans not to mention the rumors started after their lost against the Chargers in the divisional round in January of 95. Dolphins fans went as far as campaigning for Shula to step aside in favor of Jimmy Johnson during the 95 season. Im a Dolphins fan BUT I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THOSE DOLPHINS FANS AND ALSO THAT LOSER WAYNE HUZENGIA WHO DISRESPECTED DON SHULA. Shula DID NOT retire he was forced. We deserved every single bit of 38-3 and 62-7. The Miami Dolphins are still paying the price for how poorly Shula was treated his last year. 32 years and counting the last time the Dolphins were in the AFC Championship game and Shula was the coach. So much of the game passing Shula by😂😂 which it didn’t. The game actually passed Jimmy Johnson but Dolphins fans don’t wanna hear it.
Maybe the game did pass Jimmy by, but I think what it proved more than anything is that it doesn’t matter how great a coach you are, if you don’t have the right pieces around you, then you’re only going to go so far. He for the most part put together that 90s Cowboys dynasty. And he motivated and molded them into a championship group. Switzer won That 95 Super Bowl with Jimmy’s players. JJ also won a national championship in college, one of the few coaches ever to win both a national championship and a Super Bowl. That’s a lot of things. Overrated ain’t one of them.
It is ironic that Dan Marino had 2 legendary coaches with Super Bowl rings but could not win one himself. As we've seen with Bill Belichick, coach success can really vary with the supporting cast. The other players and coaches matter a lot.
Uhhh... NO. Harbaugh did NOT "stun" Marino. Quarterbacks, and their offenses play against defenses.. Quarterbacks do NOT play against one another. The Colts Din the second half; a few costly late penalties by the Dolphin D; and ESPECIALLY two missed field goals by Miami in regulation won this game for the Colts.
Back then, the league didn't really give af about QBs like they do today. Teams relied on teamwork on both sides to win games The QB position and football was more chaotic back too when QBs were getting hit and the league nor teams didn't gave a damn. Defensive players were praised back then too more than in today's game.
Nah, his teams were junk. He never had a consistent running game or defense. This was the year the Dolphins started 4-0 and the team fell apart around him and finished 9-7. I don't care who you are, or how great your quarterback is, you cannot win surrounded by mediocrity and losing. Tom Brady wouldn't win with most of Marino's teams. Even Joe Montana said if you put Marino on his 49ers teams, Marino would have those 4 Super Bowls, if not more. Then he put himself on Marino's Dolphins teams and promptly said, "I don't know how I would do". That's a nice way of saying he knows he would lose because he has enough common sense to know Marino didn't have the help or talent around him that Montana and others had. The real fault is Don Shula's, not Marino. Because Shula never built a complete team around Marino. That's where the true fault lies, not on a guy who was basically a one man team, carrying that team, trying to do everything he could do to win.
@@keithlambert2251 The crazy thing is that Miami in 1995 had a bunch of good wins: they beat 5 teams that made the playoffs in 1995 (ATL, KC, BUF, SD, PIT). What hurt them was not just this Colts blown lead, but losses to then-winless New Orleans and of all teams the Rich Kotite Jets
@@chrisuncleahmad666 Also this is the year honestly, that Shula tried to buy a Super Bowl to save his job. He signed all of those high priced free agents during off season which turned out to be a bust. There turned out to be too much internal friction within the team. After the Dolphins started 4-0 they were considered the class of the AFC and Super Bowl favorites. Then starting here, the wheels came off. Anyone in their right mind cannot blame Marino for this loss - when the defense gave up all of the points for the Colts to come back and win. And the last time I checked, Marino didn't play defense. They ended up going 2-6 in the middle of the season. We beat the Bills because when we played them at Miami they were injury riddled with numerous people out. We beat the Chargers because Natrone Means went out hurt, and we beat Atlanta by one point - all because Marino himself orchestrated a comeback drive , he himself rushing for 12 yards on a 2nd and 10 to get the 1st down to keep the drive alive. The very next play he threw the winning touchdown pass to escape with a one point victory 21-20. So, for the most part injuries to other teams major players and 2 gutsy plays by Marino is why we won those games. If we hadn't won that Atlanta game, we would have finished 8-8 and OUT of the playoffs - which if we're being honest here, we didn't deserve to be in the playoffs anyway. Backed in as a 6th seed when at one time we were Super Bowl favorites. And because of Marino having mediocre and losing teams for the bulk of his career (10 out of 17 years), this is why his teams were exposed in the playoffs - showing no run game or defense. Like I said, it virtually comes down to Marino was a one man show who kept the Dolphins relevant by making them look better than what they really were. And yes, I am a Miami Dolphins fan and have Dolphins games and Marino's career on video. 1995 ended up being a terrible season - the way they fell apart.
@@keithlambert2251 no he just underperformed look at his numbers in alot of playoffs games lol marino was overrated yall blame everybody else when a team is losing but when their winning is because of the qb 😂
@@kevonsidek9737 And what you said relates to exactly what I was saying. The Dolphins as a mediocre 9-7 team got exposed in the playoffs with no run game and no defense by the better teams. Then, of course, Marino had to throw to try to win and no QB, no matter how great he is, can do it all by himself. His teams got exposed in the playoffs to show he had no help around him. At 8-8 and 9-7 for a lot of years, Marino made the Dolphins look better than what they were. Without him, they would have looked like an expansion team at 3-13 every year. Like I said, the true fault lies on Shula for not building a complete team around Marino - not Marino.
Indianapolis Colts Was Member AFC East Division From 1970 To 1993 And Miami Dolphins Was Member AFC East Division From 1970 To 1993 Thanks For Uploading
'90s football;
_NOTHING_ better!
Love that NBC football intro music. 😢
Same. Still Hear it all these years later
Wish it included an extra 20 seconds before the video start.
Before Coach Khakis, there was Captain Comeback
Throwback game ideas for this week:
Patriots/Jaguars: 1996 AFC Championship Game
Seahawks/Falcons: 2012 NFC Divisional Playoffs
Eagles/Giants: 2006 Week 2 (Eli’s OT comeback)
Jets/Steelers: 2004 AFC Divisional Playoffs
Uhhhh no on that Eagles/Giants from 06 LOL
I’ll never forget watching Jaquizz Rogers truck Earl Thomas and knock him on his ass in that 2012 Seattle/Atlanta playoff game. Pretty sure Denver lost to Baltimore that same night on the Rahim Moore blown coverage on Jacoby Jones.
one of the few times the Giants doing the comeback and not blowing a lead
Keep that Eagles/Giants game but everything else is spot on
@@kik5323 uh yes, weirdo

Hearing the propeller airplane overhead is a nice childhood memory
Not a Miami fan! But love those uniforms.

A game that kinda sums up Marino career tbh
Damn! Up 21-3 the team still didn’t help pull him through
BTW I know this is weeks from now, but for the 49ers/Bills primetime showdown perhaps you can spotlight the Bills/49ers '95 SNF game. Has my favorite 49ers defensive play ever with that Lee Woodall 96 yard fumble recovery for a TD!!! Just something to think about :D
My grandma used to babysit for Jim Harbaugh and his brother John
This is prime Captain Comeback highlights right here.
Hell yeah, jim harbaugh
Harbaugh was MVP level good in the 12 games he started during the 1995 season, nearly leading the Colts to a Super Bowl(fell just short on a hail mary).
That was a solid Colts team with Harbaugh, Faulk, Dilger, Big Goose on defense and Ray Buchanan in the secondary.
im almost 40 and its hard to remember a time when there was no scoreboard on the screen lol
It seems frustrating tbh if you were just randomly tuning it you had to wait til somebody mentioned the score or til it went to break
The year of Captain Comeback begins. Funny that every game that Marino broke a record in he lost.
A good ol division matchup.
Colts belong to the AFC East, although purely geographically they should have been placed in AFC North.
The comeback kid !! After Giants lost Hosteller and Simms retired, Jim Harbaugh would have been a perfect fit.
The 1995 Colts were a scrappy team led by the NFL's most efficient passer that season in Jim Harbaugh. They upset the 49ers in the regular season as well as the Chargers and Chiefs in the playoffs. If Aaron Bailey held onto the Hail Mary pass in the AFC Championship, they would have advanced to the Super Bowl
Miami should've put a ton of stock in the defense, especially here in Dan's later years. Could u imagine Marino with those 90s Steelers defenses? I still despise Noll and Rooney for passing on Marino in the 83 draft.
It's surreal that Marshall Faulk had so little impact on this game yet the Colts won.
What a game by the Colts after the poor start.
I never knew Jim Harbaugh and Marshall Faulk played for the Colts 😮
Indeed, indeed. Few years later, Manning was drafted to the Colts and played alongside Marshall Faulk for the '98-'99 season before Faulk was traded to the St. Louis Rams to help the Rams win their Super Bowl as a St. Louis team.
Awesome video
I Remember This Game Like It Was Yesterday
Really.....well I wasn't even born when it was played

1995 🏠👦🏻🧒🏻 I was a little boy 👦🏻 back old time and old days
The quality of the game and play on the field was sooo much better then it is today.
It was played with a lot more grit.
@@MM-lo8dn Yes. And skill too. Particularly at the QB position.
49ers legend Terry Kirby
Harbaugh, and I actually mean this respectfully, was like a poor man's Brett Farve. An absolute gamer and competitor.
With the Vikings and Lions set to clash this weekend, might I recommend their battle down to the wire from Week 15 of 2004? The Don Muhlbach long snap disaster?
Or their Week 11 matchup of 2004, another thriller?
Yes as far as Matt Millen years go, that is probably the most hapless loss that isnt well remembered, because it didn't happen during 0-16.
And a certain play by Orlovski also against the Vikings topped it.
@14:20 Colts should've been flagged for too many men on the field.
I always liked Terry Kirby he was a journeyman running back
The 95 colts came back from two 21-point deficits vs. the jets and dolphins on the road. They won them both in OT 27-24. If they lose those games, they miss the playoffs, and don't go all the way to the afc title game
next video idea: browns vs bengals, week 7 2020
Miami spent all that money on Gary Clark, Eric Green & other free agents to end up 9-7. The last year of the coaching career of Don Shula.
Should’ve kept Kieth Jackson

Bernie Kosar was the backup qb for miami that year I never knew that
This game deflated the 95 Dolphins. They were 4-0 going into this game. They limped the rest of the way to 9-7 where Buffalo dumped them again. Then Don Shula retired.
One of these days I’ll see my fish in the super bowl
Yes sir

Yep NFLs greatest games does AFC championship
