NFL Game of the Week

San Diego Chargers at San Francisco 49ers, 1982 (18x4)

: 18, 1982

The defending Super Bowl champions had a difficult time defending in 1982. San Francisco won two games going into this game. It's a measure of an NFL axiom: no matter how many yards you throw for, and Joe Montana threw for over 400, the central goal is to win the game. Dan Fouts, the gawdy QB of San Diego, torched the Niners 41-37.
