Was 16 at the time & a Dolphin fan. I turned it off at 24-0 in cold shock & sat alone with a silent TV for maybe a minute. It looked like it was going to be 80-0 SD.... then something inside me said, ‘it’s still early, turn it back on’ which I did. So I glad I did even tho Miami lost, it was one of the greatest games ever

Ahh, those were the days! I was 11 years old and all I needed was a football, baseball glove, bicycle and a plate full of greasy French fries and ketchup! Oh, and my buddies of course. What a happy boy I was!

Watched this with my Dad & cousin as we played Monopoly...my cousin was taken from us a few years later in a car accident...looking back on this has a little extra meaning.

I was 9.first year watching NFL playoffs Epic Classic. Imagine THIS being your first NFL playoffs nd Chargers went up 24-0 here nd Buffalo Bill's went up 24-0 on My Jets the week b4.as a kid I thought going up 24-0 was expected..lol.

That intro - take me back to this era and leave me there.

This version is the NFL Game of the Week narrated by the late Harry Kalas...there have been many other NFL Films segments about this “Epic in Miami”

My father and i were glued to the tv till the last nail chewing kick . my father was breathless after that game and my mom was relieved the game ended due to our screaming and yelling. Oh what a game . great memories but better things were in store for Miami in the next year with Marino starting.!!!!!!

The music in this film is outstanding. The game itself ranks high. However the sea of hands game was the best.

I watched this game as a newlywed with my husband in our tiny apartment. We're still together, still watching football. Great game, great music too.

this was the most amazing game I have ever seen. I was exhausted just watching it.

People who think that the Bills-Chiefs game was the greatest of all time haven't seen this one...

I saw this game live on TV at the age of 15. It was an epic battle. One of those rare games when you feel both teams deserved to win. There was a game-within-the-game going on between the two kickers. Both were excellent and both were trying desperately to win it for their team. In the end my team lost but you couldn't help but walk away feeling you had witnessed something historic.

Need to go back to it or the one they had in the late 90s early 2000s. I played the Dolphins in Miami on Madden 23 a couple days ago, and made sure Miami wore an older uniform and not the horrible one they have now.

It's one of the best games i have ever seen. Watched it with my Dad when i was a kid. We are both Dolphin fans to this day.

I just watched the Chiefs beat the Bills . It reminded me of this classic

The chargers vs dolphins winner which was the chargers didn't have anything left to face the Bengals in the AFC championship game. Therefore the Bengals won by default.

Really Really miss those days. Players were real role models.

I'll never forget the hook and ladder play!

What a game...what a joy it provided... better days, better game. Sadly, those days and games are gone forever.

As a dolphins 🐬 fan this was one of the greatest games but equally heartbreaking. 40 years later and I still am upset we missed the FG. Nonetheless glad we were in so many meaningful games when Coach Shula was with us .

Tough break for the Chargers after this game. They go from humid 75 degrees in Miami, to the famous "Freezer Bowl" in Cincinnati for the AFC Championship and a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. With a game time temp of -9 degrees and a windchill temp at -59 degrees, the high fly offense of "Air Coryell" didn't stand much of a chance.

I remember that game.

Miami's gadget Play is correctly described as a hook-and-lateral but the stupid media misunderstood Don Shula, with the fools transforming the name to hook and ladder.

Fouts was lucky he wasn't out of the league before Coryell arrived in 78. As for Woodstrock, there was no reason Woodley should have started over Strock other than being a coach's QB

After SD went up 24-0, I thought we were headed for a repeat of 1940, where Chicago annihilated Washington 73-0 in the NFL championship game. I'll give Miami full credit. They fought back brilliantly. Don Strock had over 400 yards passing -- and he didn't enter the game until the second quarter!

I remember this game. It was January 2nd, 1982. A Saturday. And because of that, they didn't show it on TV...

wow, I watch many times, saw the game when I was 9 years old. Orange Bowl hosted some of the greatest games in NFL History, see how times have changed , 70s, 80s 90s the Dolphins were like the Patriots.

The first football game I ever watched at age 12. Unfortunately I have been a Charger fanatic ever since.

Today's AFC Divisional playoff between Kansas City and Buffalo may have just outdone this one. There were 3 lead changes in the final two minutes and the game was tied 36-36 at the end of regulation. Mahomes and Allen each threw for scores in the final minute, with the Bills going ahead 36-33 with just 13 seconds left. But KC came back - using two time-outs - to get close enough for the tying FG, then won in OT 42-36. I thought about this SD vs Miami game from 40 years ago but I think today's may have exceeded it.

Let’s be candid….if Miami doesn’t absolutely play horrible for the entire first quarter….this is likely a blowout win for the Dolphins….just like it was a year later in the playoff rematch (Miami won 34-13). Doesn’t matter, neither SD or Miami was knocking off the 81 Bengals in Cincinnati to go to the SB.

The bolts really missed their window. From approx 78-82. But along with the vikings/Rams of the 70s and countless othet teams. The 01-04 eagles and bills of 90-93 and and a dozen others. Who never got a ring. All those others i named made atleast 1 S.B. unlike Air Coryell. Tragedy. Just how it goes i guess.

Here because someone told me that this game was better than the Chiefs vs Bills playoff game.. I'm about to see if I agree with that.. Do u?

This was an exciting game. But I believe Chiefs vs. Bills 2022 was better

I remember that game, how sick to my stomach I felt in the 1st qtr. Uwe von Schamann became known as Uwe von Choke after this debacle. But his choke was no worse than the badly exposed, over rated, hyped Killer Bs defense. The days of 2 white guys (Jake Scott & Dick Anderson) at safety and a SB title were long gone by 1981 and the evidence was the torching Fouts gave the Miami defensive backfield. Woodley was a proven choker in any clutch situation. Joe Rose was his roommate on the road and he said Woodley would start chain smoking whenever Shula benched him. The old Dolphins Curse came true for SD, they lost to Oakland a week later. Miami got mega revenge the next year on SD, beating them badly in the OB, but that weak defense was once again exposed and unable to stop the Redskins, costing Miami the SB.
