    Probably the reason Denver and Miami met only twice during that time, is because back then scheduling was based on where a team finished in their division of their conference the previous year to determined whom they would play the next season. There where 3 divisions in each conference 2 of them had five teams in the divisions and 2 divisions had 4 teams in the division. If a team finished first in the division they would be matched up with the other 1st and 4th place finishers in the other divisions of their conference. If a team was in a 4 team division they would play the 5th place team once from each division. And the 1st place finishers would play teams 1 thru 4 in the division of opposite conference. (example: teams 1 thru 4 of NFC East vs. Teams 1 thru 4 from the AFC East). Match-ups of AFC vs. NFC were done on a rotational basis every 3 years. If a team finished 2nd in the division of their conference, they'd be matched up with the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in the conference. As well as playing teams 1 thru 4 in the opposite conference. If a team finished 4th in the division they'd be matched up with 1st and 4th place finishers in the division of the conference and teams 1 thru 4 in the opposite conference. If a team finished fifth in the five team division of the conference they'd play the other 5th place finishers in the division of the conference twice and would play the teams in a 4 team division of the conference. The 5th place finishers would also play the other 5th place finishers in the opposite conference. That format has changed since expansion, realignment and going from 3 divisions to 4. Scheduling is now done on rotational basis. Meaning within the conference they rotate every 3 years. AFC vs. NFC they rotate every 4 years. With the exception of 2 games is based on where your team finished in the division.

    And from 1970-77 the scheduling was really random and wonky by modern sports league standards. There were a couple of set patterns that were adhered to, but even they were convoluted. Divisions did NOT play each other, and for the first five post-merger seasons the Broncos played an extra interconference game against different NFL opponents each time for reasons I still have not figured out.

It wasn’t until 1990 when the # 3 seed had to play in the wild card round. The Patriots edged out the Broncos for the AFC’s fifth and final playoff spot in 1985 based on common opponents, Patriots were 4-2 and Broncos were 3-3. The difference in the tiebreaker was that New England defeated Miami and Denver lost to Miami.

    Born in '73 and starting following the Fins in '82 so I remember Woodstrock and that Super Bowl season as well as the '83 draft and Marino's fall due to having a shockingly bad senior season after being possibly the nation's most hyped college QB after his junior year. I didn't remember any drug rumors at that time but then again I was 10 and had a sheltered childhood. I also remember the 3-3 start to '83 and being really worried, and then the 12-4 finish after Shula finally giving Marino the reins once and for all.

Montana is great but he can't hold a candle to Marino the niners were loaded all pros on offense and defense teams win super bowls.

Had he had any kind of a decent defense, he could have had at least 3 Superbowl rings! It's really sad that a QB as good as Marino was, shattered all the records years in advance of anyone else, many records standing for a couple of decades before being broken, yet never got a ring and only made one SB appearance. But I totally agree, probably ths best QB to ever play the game. Nobody then, now, or ever will, have a release like Marino did!

    Cassius71 Shula was a senile old hag - more concerned about adding guys on defense, with the beginning of their last names with a ‘B’, and not enough attention to landing talent, changing schemes, and with that quick strike offense, took no time off the clock so the defense literally had no chance. There were several factors...mostly, Marino was almost too good for their own good.

    The NFL in those days used a complicated formula based on where teams finished in the standings the prior year to determine who played whom the following season. Because of that it wasn't uncommon for teams, even ones from the same conference, to go many years without playing each other. Too bad because we never had even one meeting between Elway and Marino when they were both in their prime.

  • @acsmooth110

    You are right. That is probably the reason Denver and Miami met only twice during that time, is because back then scheduling was based on where a team finished in their division of their conference the previous year to determined whom they would play the next season. There where 3 divisions in each conference 2 of them had five teams in the divisions and 2 divisions had 4 teams in the division. If a team finished first in the division they would be matched up with the other 1st and 4th place finishers in the other divisions of their conference. If a team was in a 4 team division they would play the 5th place team once from each division. And the 1st place finishers would play teams 1 thru 4 in the division of opposite conference. (example: teams 1 thru 4 of NFC East vs. Teams 1 thru 4 from the AFC East). Match-ups of AFC vs. NFC were done on a rotational basis every 3 years. If a team finished 2nd in the division of their conference, they'd be matched up with the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in the conference. As well as playing teams 1 thru 4 in the opposite conference. If a team finished 4th in the division they'd be matched up with 1st and 4th place finishers in the division of the conference and teams 1 thru 4 in the opposite conference. If a team finished fifth in the five team division of the conference they'd play the other 5th place finishers in the division of the conference twice and would play the teams in a 4 team division of the conference. The 5th place finishers would also play the other 5th place finishers in the opposite conference. That format has changed since expansion, realignment and going from 3 divisions to 4. Scheduling is now done on rotational basis. Meaning within the conference they rotate every 3 years. AFC vs. NFC they rotate every 4 years. With the exception of 2 games is based on where your team finished in the division.
