USSR in the 1980 Olympics is pretty hard to top, 'The Miracle on Ice.' The story has been told a thousand times in movies, documentaries, books, television specials, etc, so no sense in me retelling why it's great. Basically redefined Peyton Manning's career.įor Americans, USA vs. Colts 38, Patriots 34 in Manning's first playoff win against New England, where he was down 21-3, and that had the famous 4th and 3rd failed conversion and Manning marching down to win it after having a Manning-esque meltdown. There was that Kurt Warner Cardinals team that beat Rodgers GB team like 50-47 or something 10 years ago. There's also been a ton of incredible NFL playoff games in the lower rounds, but you've gotta shade towards the championship games of course. Undefeated team getting beaten by Eli's giants. It also was just a great battle of opposite styles, new school pass heavy spread "Greatest Show on Turf," with a team that assumed they were going to blow out their opponent, versus old school hard hitting defensive loaded team. It ushered in this era of the last 20 years of nearly every Super Bowl being competitive.

ever (?) to be settled on the final play of the game. From 1991 - 2001, only one Super Bowl had been decided on the final drive (STL v. Patriots > Rams in 2002, basically the dawn of a dynasty, defensive showdown, was the first *good* Super Bowl in like 12 years.There was 1 punt, otherwise just about every drive ended in scoring. For NFL, Eagles > Patriots in the Super Bowl a few years back, even as a Pats fan on the losing end that was all action.

As great as any single MLB/NFL/NHL/NBA game is, basically none have national, global, social, cultural, and political influence like Ali's big fights, Owens in '36, or Miracle on Ice. Jesse Owens & 1936 Olympics, Mohammed Ali v. It's also one of those rare times when sports performances transcend sports into global social issues, biased American lens here, but. Watch any of the documentaries on it, and also check out 30 for 30's "Of Miracles and Men" which is that game from the Soviet perspective, arguably the greatest sports team of all time across any country, ever, upstanding men who were coached and trained to perfection, but lost to a bunch of college kids, and that went onto define their lives.
