The ‘Millenium Game’, the 'Epic in Miami', and Ted Turner suspended for a year - This DiSH for Jan 2

In 2000, the Oakland Raiders denied the Kansas City Chiefs a playoff spot with impressive win at Arrowhead. Raiders coach Jon Gruden said it was a game he'd gladly watch on an endless loop.

In 1982, the San Diego Chargers beat the Miami Dolphins in OT in the 'Epic in Miami.'

In 1994, Houston Oilers DC Buddy Ryan punched Houston Oilers OC on the sideline during a game.

In 1984, Nebraska Cornhuskers legend Tom Osborne opted to go for a 2 point conversion and the win as opposed to the one point PAT. The decision cost the Huskers the National Championship.
