As a Ravens fan, we could have hosted both Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes in the AFC Championship Game in 2006 and 2019. Yet both times we bowed out because the offense fell apart at the worst possible times, and suffered two devastating home defeats. Brian Billick never recovered from 06, and Harbaugh based on the fact that we've made the playoffs only because of easy schedules since then may be headed down that same road.

This video is so awesome and entertaining, keep making more of these fantastic videos.

I would argue Favre V Rodgers 2009. Rodgers losing against Warner in OT shootout, and Favre making it to the title game but facing the Saints instead and we all know how that ended.

Nice to see the 2020 NFC Championship Game (Which was when Brady & Rodgers finally meet each other in the playoffs, and probably for the only time.) get mentioned, although that does make it weird that the 1972 AFC Championship Game (Which featured Miami on the road vs Pittsburgh in what was retroactively its first year of its dynasty) wasn't mentioned when talking about 1974 AFC Championship Game. Also speaking of the 1972 AFC Championship Game, Miami Dolphins @ Oakland Raiders in the 1972 AFC Championship Game would have been great from a retroactive perspective (Although it's understandable why it wasn't included in the video.), as in the Early 70s (More specificity 1970 to 1974.), Miami & Oakland played each other 5 times, and each win had some sort of significance: 1970 Week 3, Oakland 13 @ Miami 20; Miami's first win against the Raiders in franchise history. 1970 AFC Divisional Round, Miami 14 @ Oakland 21; Miami's first postseason game in franchise history. 1973 Week 2, Miami 7 @ Oakland 12; Oakland snaps Miami's 18 game win streak (Then NFL record.) & does so without scoring a Touchdown. 1973 AFC Championship Game, Oakland 10 @ Miami 27; Miami's first (And to date only.) postseason win against the Raiders in franchise history. 1974 AFC Divisional Round, Miami 26 @ Oakland 28; Sea of Hands Game, Oakland ends Miami's 3peat dreams. In all 5 of these games, the Home team won, so it's safe to say that had a Miami @ Oakland 1972 AFC Championship taken place, Oakland would have advanced to Super Bowl VII. Just makes the immaculate reception even more infuriating for Raiders fans, honestly.

Nice to see a fellow football historian as well. Yeah, honestly the Steelers (I'm a huge Steelers fan btw) were definitely way too early in 1972 and although it's the kickstart of the winning culture, the true turning point in them becoming the dynastic team of the 70s was THAT 1974 AFC Championship Game. Hell, the best player of the team (Mean Joe) literally said it. As far as the Miami & Oakland matchup, it would've been intriguing as in the early 70s they were the best teams in the AFC with at the start of the decade the Colts were still dominant from there mid-late 60s & Unitas era (interesting looking at Unitas' career and how his dominant teams minus 2 happened before AND after the 60s Packers reign) and then by '74 Pittsburgh starting to really be a mainstay albeit even in '74 they were probably a "year too early" like the '92 Cowboys, '13 Seahawks and '81 Niners (looking at dominant teams where they built it from the ground up and became dynasties minus Seattle who had the closest shot to dethrone Pats 2 decade reign).

I'd call your loyalty into question, because I'm one of you. I'll admit that I felt somewhat happy for the Philadelphia Eagles when watching them win Super Bowl 52 on NFL Films, but that was because it was their first in franchise history. Today, I like no one else in the division, and I did not watch Super Bowl 52 because I was not interested in football at the time. I have a soft spot for hungry teams, which is why I am glad that I did not have to choose whether I wanted the Eagles to win or not. Do you think Saints fans hated the Patriots so much that they wanted the Falcons to beat them in Super Bowl 51? No. They remind Falcons fans of "28-3" for a reason. I'm glad that everyone in the division has a Lombardi, because I never have to feel to sorry for them. I believe that the philosophy of any true NFL fan should be wanting your divisional rival to lose to the evil empire, no matter what. But if it was anyone outside the division upsetting the Patriots, then yes, Super Bowl 42 was a fun upset.

Great video! So many video ideas you could make from this round. I would love to see a video on the best teams to never make the conference championship game.

A lot of NFL history would be changed if it wasn’t always for that “One inexplicable Chargers loss”

This is a nice sequel to your super bowls video about this 5 years back. Thanks guys.

Hey this was another great idea for a video NFL Throwback. I thought you would miss the potential 1986 matchup between the Bears/Giants, but nothing seems to escape your gaze boss. A lot of of great games we never got to see. The 1979 Oilers/Steelers definitely sticks out, and I really would have liked to have seen what happened there. The amount of times Vernon Perry ends up in these retrospectives is a testament to how remarkable of a performance he had that day. A couple of other games I would have liked to have maybe seen would have been 2003 Chiefs/Patriots and 2006 Ravens/Chargers (even though we already had that earlier that season).

Great topic to talk about. I have almost no complaints except maybe Rams Vikings in '73. The Cowboys were a worthy contender, while Minnesota and LA would later on meet up four times in the playoffs during the seventies ('74, '76, '77, '78). Two I would nominate, 1968 - The 13-1 Baltimore Colts were the class of the league and beat the Browns for the NFL title (the one team to beat them in the regular season). But they could've faced a 12-2 Dallas squad poised to finally assume the championship throne vacated by Lombardi. It would've been the #1 Baltimore defense versus the #1 Dallas offense in the NFL title game (eventually became the NFC championship). 1996 - Dallas was the defending champs and still had a mystique around them, while Green Bay was the current favorite and #1 seed. Dallas had owned every matchup so far in the nineties, including three straight playoff wins ('93-'95). Everyone anticipated another rematch in the NFC title game, but Dallas came out flat and lost to the second year expansion Panthers in the divional round.

I don't know if I agree with the Steelers vs Dolphins 1974, because The Raiders were the best team record wise in the AFC that year at 12-2 including a 17-0 win at Pittsburgh during the season. Also the Steelers and dolphins played in the AFC Championship game in 1972 so it's not like people didn't see that match up before in the playoffs.

As a partisan of one of the teams, I prefer the actual outcome, but what about Redskins vs. Cowboys in the '91 NFC Championship Game... - It's Redskins-Cowboys - Veteran legendary Best Team Ever vs. young rising dynasty - Dallas had beaten 11-0 Washington on the road two months earlier (Jerry Jones has said that going into RFK and beating the '91 Redskins was when he knew they would be special), whereas Detroit - which at the time hadn't beaten the Redskins since the '50s and NEVER in DC - had lost 45-0 in Week 1

With all due respect to the 1991 Redskins, there were two teams they were very fortunate they didn't play in the playoffs that year and they were both from Texas. With the 49ers missing the playoffs that year, the only NFC team capable of going into RFK and beating that great Redskins team in the playoffs was the Cowboys, who knew the Redskins very well. We saw how the Falcons and Lions matched up. The domed Saints were certainly not going to do it and the Bears were just hanging on at this point. The Cowboys were the only NFC team capable of as Jimmy Johnson said "taking down the big gorilla." The other team the Redskins were very fortunate they didn't have to play was the Oilers in the Super Bowl. Thanks to another Miracle Elway drive and Houston squandering a big lead, the Oilers were knocked out of the round in the divisional playoffs. But in the regular season, they were the one and only team that kept Mark Rypien from having a passing touchdown. They had one of the few secondaries in the NFL capable of shutting down Monk, Clark, and Sanders. And with the Superbowl being played in the Metrodome that year, the Oilers run and shoot offense would have had a real shot at taking home the Lombardi if they had managed to make it to the Super Bowl. I can remember both my dad and my brother, who were Redskins fans, were very happy when the Broncos came back and won that divisional round game because neither of them wanted to see Houston in the Super Bowl that year.

@@DinnersOnSaturday Houston squandering big playoff leads, as normal as the sky is blue lol. But yeah, outside of Dallas, pretty much no team in 1991 that made the postseason was capable of beating them. I don't think anyone took the Lions seriously. Had San Francisco made the postseason though, things could've gotten VERY interesting. They were 11-5 with a point differential way over 100+. Still don't know how they missed the postseason, considering they earned the #1 seed in 1990 (year before) and 1992 (year after).

@@jaxonwoods8181 San Francisco is one of the only other teams that had a shot of beating the Redskins in the playoffs that year if they had gotten in. They had trouble with team chemistry in the begining of the year with Steve Young now as the #1 guy, but by the end of the year they had won 5 straight and were playing some of the hottest football in the NFL including wins over the playoff bound Saints, Chiefs, and a total thrashing of the Bears in week 16. Not saying they would have won, but I think the Redskins would have had their hands full with them and the Cowboys, certainly a lot more than they did with the Falcons and Lions. Joe Gibbs needed to thank Jerry Glanville that year for making his playoff run a lot more easier. First, it was the Falcons who knocked the 49ers out of the playoffs thanks to their season sweep, including the infamous hail mary play to Michael Haynes. Had the 49ers won just one of those games they'd have been in and Atlanta would have been out. Second, when the Falcons upset the Saints in the wildcard round, it meant that them, not the Cowboys, would be going to RFK to play the Redskins. So thanks to Jerry Glanville's Falcons and the 2 ligit to quit gang, the Redskins avoided having to play both the Cowboys and 49ers in the playoffs that year.

It was payback for ruining their #1 seed back in 2000.

Is it possible there’s a list of the top 20 Dream matchups? NOT just Super Bowls but Dream (Fantasy) matchups like The Steel Curtain (70s Steelers) vs. The West Coast (80’s 49ers) or the Legion of Boom? What about Kansas City (2019-22) against Denver (John Elway, T.D. Shannon)? Or maybe the 1958-59 Colts, with the ‘68 Colts combined, against (again) The West Coast? What about the 80’s Dolphins combined with the ‘72 Dolphins against the ‘85 Bears? They also connected with the 1960s Bears alongside Gale Sayers & Walter Payton. If they played all together, we would have Dan Marino (instead of Bob Griese), Walter Payton, Dick Butkus, Larry Csonka, Mike Ditka (Not Coach but Player this time), Dick Anderson, Gale Sayers, Larry Little, Jim McMahon, Mercy Morris & Paul Warfield. We also have Don Shula & George (Papa Bear) Halas Coaching. That would be OVER 10 Hall of Famers if they played in Super Bowl 20. I wished I could see a Packers and Patriots matchup or the Chiefs both in the Super Bowl, but oh well. (Edit) (I know I’m not sorry for that) 2018-22 Chiefs match up with the 2019-22 49ers combined with 2011-13. That’s a lot better. Key Players: Patrick Mahomes, Alex Smith or Brock Purdy, Kareem Hunt, Christian McCaffrey & Frank Gore, Tyreek Hill, Deebo Samuel, Michael Crabtree, Travis Kelce, George Kittle & Vernon Davis, Joe Staley, Aldon Smith, Eric Fisher, Frank Clark, Justin Smith, Nick Bosa, Trent Williams, Chris Jones, Patrick Willis, Fred Warner, Kyle Juszczyk, Talanoa Hufanga, Tyrann Mathieu. A LOT. Andy Reid, Yes! Jim Harbaugh, Please! Come on, @NFLThrowback! This is getting good but it’s getting better if this happens.

There are a few more in the 90s that could've been put here. '98 how about Vikings vs 49ers instead of Vikings/Falcons? Atlanta of course upset Vikings but barely squeaked by 49ers 20-18 and NFC title game would've had Rice, Owens and Moss. Also '96 Cowboys/Packers instead of Panthers/Packers. Panthers got the bye their 2nd season and beat defending champ Dallas at home, but Cowboys/Packers would've been intriguing since Cowboys eliminated Pack previous 3 years and this match would've been in Green Bay (all 3 Dallas wins were at home). Also '96 Broncos/Patriots instead of Jaguars/Patriots. Of course at that time Elway hadn't won a Super Bowl yet and Jags winning was huge upset. Denver would've hosted too. Both conference title games weren't that close.

So goated
