Re: Notable games between two unbeatens

Thats right Mark ... had forgotten about that. I should have looked that game up. It was hyped as a possible matchup of unbeatens but then they both screwed it up.

Re: Notable games between two unbeatens

The 1990 NYG-SF game comes to mind. The Niners shut them down with Phil Simms frustrated and getting vocal with Ronnie Lott at the end of the game. At the time I felt the Niners could go unbeaten but once Craig got hurt, they were more one-dimensional, despite a great year from Montana Both teams h...

Re: NFL Controversial Plays Prior to 1960

Bo Russell's field goal attempt that was ruled no good in the final game of the 1939 season -- that was a big one, similar to Don Chandler's game-tying kick in the 1965 playoff game.
