Date: Jan. 3, 1993
Teams: Houston Oilers Vs. Buffalo Bills
Lore: This wild card game, which didn't even sell out and was blacked out in Buffalo, featured Warren Moon completing 19 of 22 passes for 220 yards and four touchdowns in the first half, dominating the Bills in every aspect of the game.
But then the second half started. According to several Buffalo Bills players, defensive coordinator Walt Corey unleashed a tirade on the team at halftime for their timid play. They came out a different team in the second half.
After a Frank Reich interception for a touchdown made it 35-3, the Bills stormed back, scoring 21 points in 10 minutes. The Bills eventually went up 38-35 before the Oilers tied the game and sent it into overtime. But the Bills intercepted Moon, benefited from a face mask penalty and won the game 41-38.

Nice thread. I watch these whenever I can.
My personal favorite was vikings @ saints nfc championship. But I haven't seen that one on nfl network yet. Vikings got robbed by the nfl in overtime.pierre thomas clearly loses the ball in the air and regathers it behind the 1st down marker. 4th down on their own 40... brett had already choked but who didn't want to see favre return to the big game at age 40 after the best year of his career.
Saints/49ers I saw the other day was a hell of a game.
