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. It put the Giants in championship game rather than the Redskins. I recall reading that a Redskins fan who was at the...

The Saints beat them in the Super Dome, where Montana banged his elbow on the hard turf, that lingered the rest of his playing days, then the Niners beat them at the Stick that allowed them to win their division, where they put it al...
