I remember waking up the next week and saw rain hitting my window, and I knew we were in trouble vs the Patriots. The Dolphins used to fumble so much when they played in the rain, and I believe they fumbled like 4-5 times that game. I was devastated. I wanted to play the Bears again in the SB.

On this same day was Tom Landry's final playoff game vs the LA Rams. I feel, even though the Dolphins prevailed here, you were witnessing the moment Shula entered into the winter of his career. The game moved beyond both Shula and Landry, two archetypes from which the NFL's cast was molded. I would also point out the devastating hit by Bud Brown on Brian Brennan (36:40). Today, an obvious flag is thrown, maybe an ejection. The hit was followed by the sage words from Dr. Don Criqui having just completed a concussion protocol from the broadcast booth. This was also the same season where we saw some magic on Monday night when the Dolphins beat the Bears in the Orange Bowl, their only loss of the season. If Miami beats New England the following week, I believe the Bears would still prevail in the rematch but I'd say Miami would score more than a Tony Franklin field goal. I would've also bet all the money in my wallet then that Dan Marino would at the very least play in another Super Bowl. You would've won about $8.

The Raiders 19 year run of success, which lasted from 1967-85, in which they played in four Super Bowls, with three different coaches, three diiferent quarterbacks, and three league MVPs...the Raiders wouldn't make the postseason again until 1990... 3. The Steelers had their first losing season since 1971, the year before Franco Harris joined the team...Chuck Noll would have only one more postseason appearance, in 1989... 4.1986 was the first season since 1965, that didn't feature the Cowboys, Raiders, Vikings, Dolphins, or Steelers in the postseason...

Thank goodness for that Miami defense and that running game that scored multiple TD's. But the defense did not allow a point in the last 26+ minutes of the game and did not allow even a field goal attempt at the end of the game.

For the most part, Cleveland did what they had to do defensively in containing Clayton and Duper. The problem for the Browns was, once Miami adjusted to defending the running game against Byner and Mack better, play action passes and audibles would have worked effectively against the Dolphins going forward. The Browns were too one dimensional. But that would change the next few years under OC Lindy Infante. It almost seemed too good to be true that the Browns that year were so close to the AFC Title game. Can't take anything away from Miami's running game as they scored the clutch TDs when needed as well as a big day from Tony Nathan.

Until last yr to currently this is the most talent we have seen as Browns fans since 1984-89 the Dawg days

I still say if the weather was like this the following week Miami goes to the Super Bowl again.

Kellen Winslow, Ozzie Newsome, Dave Casper, best NFL tight ends ever. 80,s Dolphins were the San Diego Chokers of 79-82. Browns were always a dissapointment going back to Brian Sipe,s interception in the end zone against the Raiders instead of winning with a field goal. 1980 div playoffs. Oh well! As for disappointments nobody tops the Buffalo Bills. 4 Superbowls in a row. 0-4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drug addict. Good for him

If there was any good that came from the Browns’ loss to the Dolphins, they exposed the Dolphins weakness of 1985 and that was their defense and would prove to be the Dolphins’ undoing against the Patriots in the AFC Championship the following week.

The Orange Bowl the staple of American Football.

The Dolphins gave up 506 yards rushing in their two playoff games. No wonder they didn’t get that rematch with the Bears.

To think the 8-8 browns nearly hosted a conference championship game

The Dolphins had their best defenses when Coached by Bill Arnsparger , 1970 - 1975 his no name 53 defenses averaged 10 points a game .After SB - 8 he left , 1976 he returned to form the Killers Bs back in Post season 1978 - 79,- 1981 - 1985 after SB - 17 he left again for good by 1986- 89 Dolphins would miss him only making post seasons in 1990 , 92, 94, 95 , Shula Retires

This first postseason game of Schottenheimer's was writing on the wall for how poorly most of them were going to go for him.

Your absolutely right Kam, if Cleveland could have pulled the upset in Miami the whole dynamic would have changed! The Browns would have hosted the Patriots and if they beat them then lose to the bears in the Superbowl, but it would have changed the history of the league and the browns and who knows what would have happened after that? Maybe the Browns win it all next year and there's no drive maybe Modell gets a new stadium and the browns never leave. Who knows but it's fun to think about and debate.

The Browns played a heck of a lot better than any 8-8 team would have. Marino didn't fire on all cylinders in the first half. The Browns gave the Dolphins a run for their money in the first half but collapsed in the second half.

Miami Dolphins' history of success was because of one man who built the 1972 team and lead Marino into the HOF. That man's name is Shula. The successes they enjoyed under his past permanently changed when he retired. His legacy and presence still hover years later because whoever they had and whatever they tried to do still has not equalled what he did.

#58 LB Scott Nicholas said that he RECOVERED the fumble for the Browns on that punt in the 4th quarter! He actually came out with the ball. The Browns would have had a short field (on Miami's 26 yard line) and gotten at least a FG out of it and probably would of won this game! The refs have ALWAYS found a way to screw over the Browns!

QB DAN THE MAN 🏈🏈🏈🦾🦾🦾

Whether it be Marino, Kelly, Montana, or Elway , when I watch these old games I also pull up the original box score & what qualified as a big passing game back in this era ( going far forward ) doesn’t look like anything compared to a big passing game now stats wise. The rules have been changed so much that all of the players mentioned above and their seasons long stat lines wouldn’t even really sniff the PB now & many would look downright lower tier pedestrian. It’s all fluff though as the play showed to my eyes even if the stats seem tame by today’s standards.
