Man my god I miss those Orange Bowl early uniform with the Stripes😊 Same with the Patriots those uniforms were gorgeous so was the colors. This was dreadful for The Dolphins to end the Orange Bowl era. Frank Gifford Al Michaels on the call for this game on ABC at 9pm😊😊. I miss MNF on ABC.

Thanks for posting this! I haven't seen this in over 30 years!

Funny how in 1986 people were talking about Dan Marino like they talk about Patrick Mahomes, only today its like the've forgotten all about Marino and how he was knocking down the record books.

Even though this was going to be the last Dolphins game at the Orange Bowl, it was not filled to capacity that night. Thus, WPLG, WPEC (now CBS), and WEVU (now WZVN) were not allowed to show the game. Of the matchups that have been blacked out despite being on national TV, Dolphins-Patriots is the most blacked out national TV matchup, with 8 instances, all of them in South Florida, and 4 of them were blacked out despite Dan Marino being the Dolphins QB at the time. The 1980 MNF meeting where Howard Cosell announced John Lennon's murder was also blacked out, forcing people in these three markets to watch Nightline or read the papers the next day to find out about Lennon's murder.

Yep. Living in Miami as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s we rarely got to see the Dolphins play home games on MNF b/c the lame blackout rules and the OB was 80K stadium.

The Cincinnati Bengals scored 50 or more points in 3 straight final home games of the year. 1984, 1985 and 1986

Deep dive !

I miss those road uniforms of the patriots. Why madden can't get this right is beyond me

Watching these old games I noticed the officiating was so much better. Sure they miss some calls but in the end they did an outstanding job

I remember this game.

Two weeks later the Pats had Denver on the ropes, but a sack on Eason for a late safety by the Broncos sunk their hopes. It would be 8 long seasons and 3 ownership changes until their next playoff berth after Bill Parcells' total overhaul.

It was a close game but elway was so much superior then eason, fryar fielded the punt on the 1 then rulon jones crucified eason. ugly way to go out. next year was strike year.

Tony Eason is the most underrated Pats Qb ever.

Eason had a lot of talent, however he is remembered by long time Patriots fans as a player who would not take one for the team. Grogan on the other hand is considered a warrior!.

Stanley Morgan was second in 86 only to Jerry Rice. He really got overlooked for the HOF

He’s no Jerry Rice.

I didn't know our season was on the line. We were 10-3 then dropped 2 in a row entering this game

It was never the same for the dolphins after leaving the orange bowl how can you tear it down

Tony Eason was easily the third-best quarterback to play for the Patriots in the decade or the 1980s.

My dad talked about this game for years. The Patriots hadn't won in Miami in the regular season in 17 years or something.

Yes Rip The OB thanks for all the great memories...it wasn't like today's stadiums but it definitely had character to it🤔

Eason: dripping with masculinity

85 bears ruined this man's career.

Tony Eason was so talented. So accurate on a rollout, great arm strength, decent athleticism. Got screwed over by having to play for the worst franchise in the history of sports at that time.

Tony Eason did have talent, however he is considered to be a player who would not take one for the team. On the other hand, Steve Grogan is considered to be a warrior!

Tony Eason has no such thing as mental toughness if it was not for Grogan they lose this game

Squish the fish!!

The volume is off badly.

No replays no flags

1st

2:33:03 boomer and the bengals learn their 52-21 beatdown of the jets on Sunday means nothing

'Perhaps the best of all time' theres a 9 year old michigan who has that title chief

Not gonna lie...i hate the dolphins and i rooted for the bengals during their superbowl rin two years later....but more then beating miami and winning the division thia game is worth it just for the bengals players expressions at the end...
