  '79 Tampa Bay vs. '06 Chicago It was a great fall day in Chicago, but the Bears got off to a rough start against the Bucs. After scoring the first TD of the game, Tampa Bay answered the Bears with a 95 yard KO return for TD. Later, they would put up 2 FG's in a row to take a 6-point lead.  But as the 2nd quarter neared, the Bears shook off the shock and started to rally back. In fact, as the Bears picked up on both sides of the ball, they would hold the Bucs from any further scores, and go on to quadruple their score. In fact, it seemed like Tampa Bay wasn't even trying. Bears win 43-12. The biggest boost for the Bears came from their rushing game. Jones had another big day, averaging almost 8 yards per carry for 162 yards total and 3 TDs. Benson also ran for 71 yards. In the air, Grossman threw for almost 300 yards and 2 TD's. At 534 yards total, the Bears more than doubled Tampa Bay's total offense, which just weighed in at 245 yards.  '80 Bills vs. ...

I'm likely just going to have to remain 2 weeks behind. '10 Atlanta vs. '01 Green Bay The Falcons travelled to Green Bay looking to keep their undefeated streak going. Green Bay was looking to make 50% on their record. But as the usually explosive Matt Ryan looked to get his air game going, the Pack was able to shut it down. Despite scoring in the 1st quarter, the Falcons struggled to score afterwards. On the other hand, Favre was on fire, throwing 2 TD passes in the 1st quarter and mixing things up with Green for 2 rush TD's in the 2nd. Along with a Safety on behalf of the Packers D, there was no chance of Atlanta winning. Final Score GB 40, ATL 7. For Atlanta, Ryan gained just over 120 yards passing, averaging 7 yards / catch. With the team just barely breaking 100 yards rushing as wel...

GET BOXSCORES HERE! '15 Denver vs. '98 NY Jets It was the Jets and their fans who would be a mile high at Giants Stadium when Denver arrived.

GET BOXSCORES HERE! '84 Miami vs. '05 Jacksonville Miami scored early, but Jacksonville took the lead for Q2 and Q3 in a low-scoring effort. With both defenses forcing several 3-and-outs, a 4th quarter TD by Marino gave the Dolphins a 2 point lead many thought would end the game. But a last minute surprise effort by Leftwich put the Jags just over the Dolphins. Jacksonville wins 19-14. Marino threw for over 380 yards, but Leftwich completed 71% of his tosses for 242 yards. It was the Jags running efforts that helped Leftwich get some extra leverage, however, with Taylor and Jones breaking 100 yards together  '18 Houston vs. '04 Pittsburgh Watson found himself struggling to score against a brutal Pittsburgh defense as the Steelers blew away the Texans 38-14 .

'10 Atlanta vs. '77 Dallas The dangerous Atlanta defense held Staubach and Co. to just 10 points as the Falcons embarrassed the Cowboys in Texas, 23-10 .
