The "Miracle" at the Meadowlands may have been one of the best things that happened to the Giants. They had been so bad for so long and after that game the ownership cleaned house. They fired the coach and GM, brought in George Young at GM, drafted Lawrence Taylor, two years after that Bill Parcells. The Giants of the 80s were born out of the ashes of that play.
Will never forget the 75' Staubach 'hail-Mary'. When Dallas won it meant that LA would not have to go to Minnesota where they always found a way to lose. Now LA would get Dallas in LA. Great. Dallas came in and destroyed LA. 😞
the greatest games are low scoring, because they're played by RUNNING TEAMS. people who think passing is more exciting than rushing don't understand the game and don't know how to watch the game. and that game was played after the league outlawed the dolphins/Arnspargers"s cut technique.
He should have made smart moves off the field. Steve Young thought he should play, but he never cold-cocked Joe Montana. They were both in a private plane and he didn't even push Joe out. Bill Walsh heard they went up and made a rule only one at a time can go at a time, reasoning the 49ers cld do as well with one or the other, but they can't lose both.
Staubach was on the bench his entire 20's and still had a h.o.f. career! Imagine if he had 8-9 more seasons when he was younger, faster, stronger like only a man in his 20's can be?
@Matt Pizzano yeah, but once his military duties were over he still sat the bench for a good 5 years. He didnt become a starter until he was 32 years old!
On that Eason throw NE v Rams Fryar makes s great catch but Stanley Morgan makes a perfect volleyball set of the ball right to him. Morgan never did get the credit for his HOF career
Can non-Catholics have a word for the last min win? What about the alley-oop? We weren't cavemen either. The high arced pass so unlikely as to require divine intervention. I know. It's 100/100 for kicking all the fun out.
Seeing Longley beat my Redskins again like that was tough..one of the toughest losses I remember other than the last game with Dallas of the 79 season..😢
7:25 Oh man that was glorious. Those were the days where we Falcons fans didn't have much to look forward to except beating the hated Saints. Great rivalry!
I actually tore my throat screaming on that reception. Hurt so bad, got sick from swallowing blood but it was worth it. Must've drank a gallon of ice water that day. Also to be remembered, the Falcons almost completed that pass at the end of the half.
I had this episode on VHS for years, since 1991 until I abandoned it a few weeks ago; it was the first program on the tape (I recorded over Sports Illustrated NFL Preview for it), and afterward was the 1991 Week 2 MNF Redskins/Cowboys game (I recorded over week 1's 49ers/Giants game for it; heck, I was a kid, and didn't have many tapes:-). I've viewed this so many times, I think it's superb.
I thought the end of the "Heidi Bowl" was broadcast in the Pacific time zone. The story I heard was that then-NBC News president Reuven Frank (back then, sports at NBC were under the auspices of the news division) tried to call the network's New York master control room to order the network to stay with the Jets/Oakland game to conclusion and "slide" the entire prime-time schedule back so "Heidi" and programs that followed would be seen in full in the East. But the story I heard says that Frank couldn't get through because the master-control operator on duty at NBC New York was using that phone to talk to his girlfriend! In the wake of the "Heidi Bowl" a hotline was installed that accepted only incoming calls, so such orders in the future would get through, even if the man in master control was talking to his girlfriend.
There are still division rivalry games that are intense like the cowboys eagles, Vikings and packers, and ravens and Steelers but yea I’ll admit there not as intense as back then
They Dolphins really made such a big deal out of it being "a convict with a day off from prison" running that snowplow. I agree it shouldn't have been allowed; on the other hand the driver could've been Jesus himself and it still would've happened. He was just doing what he was told to do; commendable IMO.
Twas against the rules whether plowcon was told, or not! No stadium or NFL personnel other than marker and downs chain movers and holders, nor on-field officials, and groundskeepers, can improve the conditions on the field once the game is underway unless it comes off of an initial request by the league’s sideline personnel, or on-field officials, or the league commissioner. The snowplow was brought on without any initial request by sidelines game- personnel or on-field officials, or the commish.. The former, the refs, blew it when allowing the clearing, and the latter, ROZELLE, should’ve overturned the PATS win..
Yea, but it wouldn't work for any other game. Think about it. Soccer? Baseball? Football is perfectly designed for Television. And slow motion. It's America's game. Nowhere else is it played.
The BRONCS were in that game until NY-see:BS waited 8 minutes before they showed a replay that the officials could use to overturn the incomplete pass call on what was an 80-plus yard ORSON MOBLEY catch and run, and RICH KARLIS blew two chip shot field goals after DENVER got inside the five yard line of NYG twice earlier in that first half. Following the bad call on MOBLEY’s legit catch and run later into what would’ve been the NYG REDZONE for a third time in quarter 2, ELWAY was immediately sacked for a safety. Instead of possibly 17-7, DENVER.. IT WAS only 10-9 DENVER at the half.. Piss on SEE B.S.

Tremendous presentation,
terrific narration,
magnificent music and orchestration !
Thank you, NFL Films !
Some thrilling playoff wins led team to championships the Steelers 70s and 49ers 80s and memories too .

My father had this VHS. i probably watched it 1000 times as a kid. I can still recite this line by line. Thank you so much for uploading.
Ice bowl. No heated seats or hand warmers. Nothing to make it easier. Just doing what it took to win in BRUTAL conditions.
Loved Art Donovan when he used to be on Johnny Carson and other shows..😂
big daddy made Donovan look better than he was
I got this video on VHS back in the late 80's, so glad i found it again. Its a classic
Will never forget the 75' Staubach 'hail-Mary'. When Dallas won it meant that LA would not have to go to Minnesota where they always found a way to lose. Now LA would get Dallas in LA. Great. Dallas came in and destroyed LA. 😞
The Catch, The Drive by 49ers and The Sea of Hands, greatest moments of NFL history.
I WAS IN THREE RIVERS WHEN FRANCO HARRIS SCORED THAT TOUCHDOWN RUN. CANNOT TELL YOU THE THRILL IN THAT STADIUM IT COMPLETELY EXPLODED.
18:01 45 years ago today
"The sea of hands" was the greatest game I ever watched

I remember the 1986 championship very vividly.
BEING BORN IN 1950 I WATCHED ALL THESE GAMES LIVE. THANK U FOR THE MEMORIES.
22:14 Franco 👍

My brother and I watched this when it came out on ESPN and I still have this on VHS believe it or not
Could watch this stuff all day. Love the game & all the nuances away from the ball.
great memories
On that Eason throw NE v Rams Fryar makes s great catch but Stanley Morgan makes a perfect volleyball set of the ball right to him. Morgan never did get the credit for his HOF career
Yeah, but did MORGAN bat that ball toward the endline?
If so, that is a blown call by the zebras= letting that stand..

This is my childhood
Grew up watching this on VHS 📼. ♥
Football at it's best, none of that garbage we see today, real men
Seeing Longley beat my Redskins again like that was tough..one of the toughest losses I remember other than the last game with Dallas of the 79 season..😢
" 1:17 Look at Boozer run!"..... the wife in the kitchen says "Is Dean Martin on already?"
7:25 Oh man that was glorious. Those were the days where we Falcons fans didn't have much to look forward to except beating the hated Saints. Great rivalry!

Two minutes into this and we've see the BALTIMORE Colts, OAKLAND Raiders, and HOUSTON OILERS. The Not For Long league indeed.
The first Colt highlight was from their 1st season in Indianapolis.
Love seeing these old highlights of the classic games like “The Ice Bowl”, “The Catch” & “Immaculate Reception.”
Rusty Kuntz me too loved watching you as a tiger
HAHA, I have a fan? Hats off to you Jimmy
Hell no, Rusty Kuntz. My favorite 1984 Tiger & you git a world series ring & married a hot model. Hat's off Rusty
LMFAO
@@rustykuntz94, “HELL YEAH!”
Take that, METS!
That was the worst Colon they had ever put on.. those bunch of dudas!

Miss those real division rival games
I miss those real NFL games.
For sure. Teams and fans TRULY hated their divisional opponents. The same players on each team for the most part, every year.
There are still division rivalry games that are intense like the cowboys eagles, Vikings and packers, and ravens and Steelers but yea I’ll admit there not as intense as back then
As a diehard Cowboys fan I never heard about Longley! Reminds me of Jason Garrett’s Thanksgiving game🔥🔥
😮
Mike Quick's 99 yd td was the same day pelle Lindbergh was killed
Quick was going as fast as Lindbergh's Porsche
@@howardcosell2022, you show just one example of a plethora of your overall markers of crassness with that comment’s perspicacity..
But not as "quick" as Charles Lindbergh's Transatlantic Flight
@@howardcosell2022 , in which you were the co-pilot, Howie.. the plane that you fell out of.. before he got to France, crashing..toupee and all..
Ahmad Rashad one of the greatest catches all time that no one mentions
I remember this hot sidelines reporter she once interviewed rashad and i think she was a miss America Phyllis George
Joe Washington on Monday Night Football Cosell said what a game this turned out to be
Art Donovan is the best!
Joe Washington ran straight through traffic! That was nice
no comebacks by Bob Griese?? really? seriously?

NFL Films. Truly the greatest propaganda factory ever seen in this world. I mean that in a good way... they really sold the NFL.
everybody brushes these under the rug, and these guys got paid way less too
Yea, but it wouldn't work for any other game. Think about it. Soccer? Baseball? Football is perfectly designed for Television. And slow motion. It's America's game. Nowhere else is it played.
NFL Films made the sport seem thousands of times more glorious that what it was.

Two different QBs in two different eras. Also, contrary to your popular belief, the Steelers are NOT the greatest thing in human existence.

24:18. She’s cute. 💕
The " holy roller' in the Raiders/Chargers would not be allowed in todays rules and that play is why!
An incomplete pass and a forward lateral
Rule change came in another season(s) shortly after..
Giants rams 2 min warning
The Best!
"They stand for the national anthem" - not any more
Happiness is being a Browns fan!
*masochism
I like the old Browns. Hopefully I can warm up to the new. What a strange thing being a football fan is.
The drive: so what,they weren't going to win the Super Bowl against the N.F.C champion anyway
Yep but the 1986 SEATTLE SEAHAWKS BEATEM BOOTH!!!! 17-12 AND 41-16 BOOTH AT HOME IN THE KINGDOME.... AND WE WON ARE SUPER BOWL IN NEW YORK....

The Dallas Cowboys!
Steelers always CRUSHED the opposition.

No the didn't. But the Cowboys finished here. For the next Decade.
