NFL Game of the Week

Miami Dolphins at San Diego Chargers, 1984 (20x4)

: 24, 1984

In their first year under Alex Spanos's ownership, the Chargers didn't amount to too much. They won only five of their first eleven games and hopelessly out of the AFC West race. Now, on November 18, they met the heretofore perfect Dolphins of Dan Marino. But this day, the Chargers capitalized on Miami mistakes to keep it all close. Miami had a chance to tie the Bears' record for most consecutive regular-season wins, but a missed field goal ended that. San Diego took control in overtime for a satisfying 34-28 upset.
