Chargers-Dolphins have been involved in some of the most memorable playoff games. The Epic in Miami in 1982 and this game. I thought the Dolphins had won this game until the Chargers came back. Great game.
Leslie O'Neal #91 of the San Diego Chargers San Diego Chargers (1986-95) Saint Louis Rams (1996-97) Kansas City Chiefs (1998-99) 1986 Defensive Rookie of the Year 132.5 sacks (tied with New York Giants Lawrence Taylor) 768 career tackles 6x Pro Bowl selection The man was all over the field when he played the game. Not only did O’Neal get sacks but he also played the run and often dropped back to take on a tight end. He was a physical specimen and had unlimited physical ability.
2:10:00 Wow. They even had the NFL Punt Pass Kick Challenge back then. Thanks a bunch for uploading this. I can't even get history on the NFL punt pass kick Challenge on wiki. Don't lose this.
Great great game.....Just listen to that amazing SD crowd, never heard it so loud. I remember watching this game and how we celebrated, 1994 was our greatest season ever. Go Bolts!
If not for the Steelers playing twats the last week of tge season, which gave SD The2 seed, this game would have been in Miami. Pittsburgh got it the next week for giving this aweful team a chance. Sorry, Pittsburgh and Miami were far better teams then SD, and would have given a challenge in the SB. SD goes down as one of the luckiest teams to make a SB. Both blown out!!!!
I remember I watched this game live as a kid and all I remember was I couldn't believe the Dolphins lost the game.I didn't remember the details of the game so thanks for letting me re watch it. I wasn't a fan of either team but I was pulling for the Dolphins.
I remember watching this game as a kid too. I remember thinking it didn't matter who won this game cus Da Cowboys or Niners were gonna win it all. Those two were that good in that mid 90's period
@@jtstevenson81 lol, isn't it though I love how San Francisco embarrassed the Chargers the next week, in the Super Bowl,a blowout, that was beautiful, for sure got to love sports,
@@user-rd8vp6nq8bSan Francisco was a juggernaut that year. They would have destroyed any team that was put in front of them that day. No shame in losing to them.
@@jtstevenson81 San Francisco in 94 got lucky when Dallas turn the ball over twice and was 21 nothing in the first quarter Dallas beat the s*** out of San Francisco the rest of the game, then that awful call when Michael Irving had caught that boom, San Francisco got lucky watch the game
During Marino era there was no defense. Shula stunk by 94 despite being only coach to have gone undefeated 1972. No defence no running game. Same problem Dan Fouts and Air Coryell suffered from 79-82. What the hell is a Gifford Neilson and a Stan Humphries. Poor Fouts, Marino and Moon never went anywhere.
Like the 1992 home playoff loss to the Bills, Miami got absolutely murdered by the opposing team running both ball(40 or more rushing attempts by each of them)...I think the Bills had close to 50(48) rushes in the 1992 game. You run the ball 40+ times that will keep Marino off the field, great game plan on their part. This further backtests to the 1990 playoff game at the Bills in which Bill rushed almost 40(37) times again. All of them were heartbreaking to watch as a teenager.
Same thing for the Chargers in the 80's..all that offense.. Could put up 42 points, almost weekly.. But, defense could rarely stop the other team from putting up 43. It sucked.
@cabymont They ran 1 play until late in the 3rd qtr? Horrible officiating this game too, we shoulda never had the ball at the 1 which ended up changing all momentum in the game. Chargers sustained long drives and even tho they didn't add up to points in the 1st half, they were still moving the ball at will
And that "whole city of fans" could've voted in favor of a new stadium that would have kept the Chargers in San Diego. But no, they voted it down and since then, they've been bitching and complaining and calling Dean Spanos every dirty name in the book, when in fact it was THEIR fault the Chargers left and moved back to L.A.
Oh God not, oh please God no, not again. I can't, I just can't..... The game ended at halftime right? Yes, that is what happened. Game was over at halftime.... yes, much better now.
Shula and the OC cost Marino this game. Marino was destroying the Charger secondary and pass D, until the Dolphins decided to run the ball, and play conservatively up 21-6 in qrtr 3, on the road. If the Dolphins had a good defense I could understand playing ball control with that lead, but they didn't especially vs the pass. What a waste. They'd have played the Steelers on the road the next wk with at least a good chance to make it to the Super bowl. This was really the last realistic chance for the Dolphins-Marino team to make the big game. I don't think they'd have beaten San fran who were on another level that season, but at least Dan could have gotten there for the 2nd time in his career. Games like these are why while Shula was a great overall coach, he doesn't make my top mt. Rushmore all time coaches. Lombardi, Belichek, Walsh, Knoll, and Gibbs are ( were) better.
Dolphins went into half up 21-6. SD go the ball and took half of the 3rd Quarter on a drive that was stopped at the one. We all know ball should’ve been Miami’s at the 20 b/c Means fumbled and it hit pylon. But refs blew call so Miami ran the ball once and SD got a safety. Miami had 6 plays in the 3rd Quarter- 3 were pass plays / 2 were runs / one was a punt. In the 4th Quarter - Miami passed the ball 11 times and didn’t run one run play. So you say Shula lost this game by being conservative and running up 21-6.....but in reality....Miami passed the ball 14 times / ran 2 times / punted once and missed a FG in the second half. Don’t let facts ruin your argument though...LOL.
@@SS-th9wzExactly, and the Chargers even tho they only had 6 points at halftime, had over 200 yards of offense and went on long sustaining drives that continued in the 2h. People see what they want lol
This one, along with the 82 loss to SD, are two of the most crushing losses for me. This team was Marino’s last legitimate chance at a SB. This was a good team
3:03:05… this simple overthrow sunk their season. For years, marino loved to take that chance on the long ball. If he had connected, the game would’ve been iced. But, the better play would’ve been a 5-10 yard out to get Pete a better shot. ‘94 was their best and last chance… sigh
1994 was the last great chance Shula/Marino had a shot at the Super Bowl. By 1995, it was such mess as they spent too much on free agency which didn't pan out. They got waxed by the Buffalo Bills in the wild card and Shula retired at the end of the season. This was the season Miami had a shot, after the first half they looked good. By the second half, they were afraid to run up the score for some reason. Why not? Go for the jugular, keep on attacking. The conservative play calling for some reason was their undoing. Marino was slicing that Chargers defense and then nothing. Awful.
Back then these games meant nothing. The NFC was so far ahead of the AFC. The real Super Bowl was the NFC Championship game. Thanks to the likes of the Patriots and Chiefs to bring the AFC back to a legitimate conference. The SB series is actually tied 29-29 after the Chiefs win in SB 58. 20 years ago I thought the AFC would never catch up.
I blame the loss on Marino; after the interference penalty, all Marino had to do was to gain short yardage either on runs or a percentage pass. Marino chose to try to win the game with his arm and the team never gained another yard. Marino's career in a nutshell...
1000% Correct. But lazy Marino apologists won't hear of it. He threw an uncatchable pass into double coverage, and to the 4th WR. He had it in his head before the snap where he was going to throw the ball. Bad snap on the Stoyo kick. A lot less pressure at 38 yards instead of 48. Montana, Brady, or Manning win this game by making the right throw in that sitiation. Marino wasn't good enough. No defense, no running game bla bla bla. Look at the subtleties.
Absolutely..I could watch this one play countless times. And sadly, Chargers fans still haven't had their true moment. Maybe this year.. But this play - the design alone, is so clever as Seay sneaks through the line, totally uncovered. What a game!!
the call at 1:41:29 bothered me all this time...since the ball was fumbled forward and broke the plane of the goal line that should have been a touchback and given Miami the ball on their 20 instead of the 2inch line......this would change everything.
The Dolphins got their share of beneficial calls as well. 2:24:35 should have been Chargers ball on a fumble and 2:37:40 should have been a Chargers touchdown.
1:57:00 - Means never scores a TD to close the Miami lead to 21-15. His foot is clearly out of bounds at the 3. Refs were terrible in this game. Where was Replay ???
What a nice break for Miami at the end-a squib kickoff that is run back to the 38 and only takes 3 seconds followed by a 32 yd. PI penalty. Dolphins ball on the Chargers 30 yd. line with still 17 seconds left and it's 1st and 10. The offense can now run any play they want to pick up a few more yds.
Ignoring a play a dolphin threw the ball to san diago, then they gave it back to Miami calling it a forward pass instead of a fumble. Then Chargers T.D. catch called out after two feet were down in the last minutes. Miami definitely wasn't screwed in this awfully officiated game. Im watching it now and it's the blind leading the blind. I cheered for the 49ers as a child so even then I wouldn't care who won. But Miami was gifted the game in the 4th and blew it as usual. Marino should have left Shula by this point with his terrible decisions and coordinator.
I hate to disagree with Dick Enberg, but the illegal forward pass was absolutely the correct call, I don't know why they kept insisting it wasn't. The fact that he's not a QB has nothing to do with it. Any forward pitch is a forward pass (think screen or shovel).
Stan Humphries was an above average quarterback, not a great quarterback but he knew how to lead and made appropriate decisions. More of a game manager type of QB. I doubt he would be the starter on most NFL teams during his time.
@@noahsadork Oh right, lol. Sorry, I'm a lifelong Chargers fan so this is a great childhood memory for me. For some reason I took for granted that you were a Chargers fan too. My bad.
High snap I know, but he got it down in time. Pete just gacked. Still the single most crushing loss as a Dolphan for me. Obviously not alone there. It makes me queasy just watching this game. It's like watching the last film of someone shortly before they die.
I haven't watched this game since it was played, but I still remember everything that happened: the perfect Miami first half, Natron Means, the safety, the forward lateral, the sneaky late TD pass, and the god awful Stoyanovich FG attempt. I hate this game. It's the most painful loss I've experienced as a sports fan. Not even the '99 debacle against the Jags hurt me this much.
I was at this game - grew up in Miami in the 70s/80s and moved away. I was living in Phoenix in 1995 and drove 6 hours to SD to see this game live : Means fumble should have been ruled a touchback. Miami ball at their own 20. Changes the game totally and likely Miami wins if refs don’t blow the call b/c it took Marino out of the game totally.
Correct on all counts. This 2nd half is tough to watch. Wish Marino had completed one short pass to Kirby be for the final FG attempt to be a few yards shorter. Stoyanovich was highest paid kicker in the league,,,,,,snap was a bit high but geeeez...you have to make that kick.
The sportcasters used to do reflections on previous history between the teams. Today, they pretend they like hip hop and admire the fireworks and pretend these two teams just magically appeared moments ago.
Shula cost his team this game. I think this is where he lost the team. The 95 team grossly underachieved partly because they didn't trust the coaching staff
@@ernslinger4333He's right! Marino should have run from Shula living off his past and terrible decisions. You can watch soccer, ballet even and realize Shula wasted Marino and blew this one.
1:41:28 - 4th and goal at the 1 and Miami ahead 21-6. Means fumbles the ball into the end-zone (ball hits pylon). Ref is standing right there and misses the call. Should have been Miami’s ball at the 20 on a touchback. Instead it’s incorrectly given to Miami at their own 1. San Diego forces a safety and now trails 21-8. Marino saw the field for 5 plays in the 3rd Quarter after lighting up the porous SD defense. San Diego - it’s better to be lucky than good. I was at this game. Miami was far and away the better team.
@@heydudedolfan13 - Check the stats. Miami only ran 5 offensive plays in the 3rd Quarter (3 passing and 2 running). Keep in mind one of those plays was only their own 1 yard line after incorrectly being given the ball there after Means fumble. In the 4th Quarter Miami passed the ball 11 times and ran the ball 0 times. So for the entire 2nd half, Miami passed 14 times and ran 2 times. Shula wasn’t conservative at all. Again I was at this game and watched it in its entirety. Miami lost this game because San Diego controlled the ball after getting a HUGE gift on the officials error. Don’t believe me? Look at the stats yourself: www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199501080sfg.htm
@@SS-th9wz jefferson got a back corner end-zone catch, possession/2 feet down, ruled not a TD, when it should have been a TD. Was at the 2:37:30 mark in the YT video. They ruled him out of bounds and he wasn't.
Well, according to the information Dick Enberg received from Jerry Seeman, a ball fumbled forward inside the 10 on 4th down is marked at the spot of the fumble and not where the ball rolls. Personally, I think it was a touchback and should've been called as such. Odd game, and I find the 1990-'95 Dolphins interesting but flawed; depending on when one is watching them, they either looked great or it doesn't seem like it's all came together like it should. Must've been frustrating to be a Dolphins fan in this era, because the team had some good tools but weren't able to sustain momentum.

I agree 33 13 . Dallas did smack them and got robbed at the end. I’m a lifelong cowboys fan and remember as a kid flipping out over the call. Dallas was the best team in the league hands down but the 49ers were magical that year. Young deserved that one
You don't get openings like this anymore, a shame really. One of the best openings of any sporting event I have ever seen.
Special times as a kid in the 80s and 90s with all sports but yes, they don't put out intro's like these anymore.

Yep. another kick another dead end. What's funny about that is it's funny AF when it happens to anyone else. ~Brian
Longest opening in history of NFL.
I haven't watched this game since it was played, but I still remember everything that happened: the perfect Miami first half, Natron Means, the safety, the forward lateral, the sneaky late TD pass, and the god awful Stoyanovich FG attempt. I hate this game. It's the most painful loss I've experienced as a sports fan. Not even the '99 debacle against the Jags hurt me this much.
I was at this game - grew up in Miami in the 70s/80s and moved away. I was living in Phoenix in 1995 and drove 6 hours to SD to see this game live : Means fumble should have been ruled a touchback. Miami ball at their own 20. Changes the game totally and likely Miami wins if refs don’t blow the call b/c it took Marino out of the game totally.
Correct on all counts. This 2nd half is tough to watch. Wish Marino had completed one short pass to Kirby be for the final FG attempt to be a few yards shorter. Stoyanovich was highest paid kicker in the league,,,,,,snap was a bit high but geeeez...you have to make that kick.
Bolts won, thankfully..but MVP, without a doubt, was Keith Jackson.. He was an absolute nightmare.
The sportcasters used to do reflections on previous history between the teams. Today, they pretend they like hip hop and admire the fireworks and pretend these two teams just magically appeared moments ago.
This was the last time the Dolphins lost a close playoff game, until yesterday, Sunday, Jan. 15, 2023.
Shula cost his team this game. I think this is where he lost the team. The 95 team grossly underachieved partly because they didn't trust the coaching staff
Yeah right skippy... go back to watching soccer
@@ernslinger4333He's right! Marino should have run from Shula living off his past and terrible decisions. You can watch soccer, ballet even and realize Shula wasted Marino and blew this one.
1:41:28 - 4th and goal at the 1 and Miami ahead 21-6. Means fumbles the ball into the end-zone (ball hits pylon). Ref is standing right there and misses the call. Should have been Miami’s ball at the 20 on a touchback. Instead it’s incorrectly given to Miami at their own 1. San Diego forces a safety and now trails 21-8. Marino saw the field for 5 plays in the 3rd Quarter after lighting up the porous SD defense. San Diego - it’s better to be lucky than good. I was at this game. Miami was far and away the better team.
Ehh. Bolts totally got robbed on the obvious Jefferson TD..
@@peetti3608 - How so?
@@heydudedolfan13 - Check the stats. Miami only ran 5 offensive plays in the 3rd Quarter (3 passing and 2 running). Keep in mind one of those plays was only their own 1 yard line after incorrectly being given the ball there after Means fumble. In the 4th Quarter Miami passed the ball 11 times and ran the ball 0 times. So for the entire 2nd half, Miami passed 14 times and ran 2 times. Shula wasn’t conservative at all. Again I was at this game and watched it in its entirety. Miami lost this game because San Diego controlled the ball after getting a HUGE gift on the officials error. Don’t believe me? Look at the stats yourself: www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199501080sfg.htm
@@SS-th9wz jefferson got a back corner end-zone catch, possession/2 feet down, ruled not a TD, when it should have been a TD. Was at the 2:37:30 mark in the YT video. They ruled him out of bounds and he wasn't.
Well, according to the information Dick Enberg received from Jerry Seeman, a ball fumbled forward inside the 10 on 4th down is marked at the spot of the fumble and not where the ball rolls. Personally, I think it was a touchback and should've been called as such. Odd game, and I find the 1990-'95 Dolphins interesting but flawed; depending on when one is watching them, they either looked great or it doesn't seem like it's all came together like it should. Must've been frustrating to be a Dolphins fan in this era, because the team had some good tools but weren't able to sustain momentum.

Dan didn’t even complete a pass on that last drive!

The safety should have never happend Means fumbled hit the pylon should have been a touchback ball at the twenty. The Dolphins blew it though no excuses.
That was not a safety
Stan no chin Humphreys
Marino choked
Miami would have put up with such a better game against the Niners in the Super Bowl Marino would have got revenge for the 84 loss
Nobody was stopping the 49ers train this year
You must be kidding. Lmao. Nobody was stopping the 9ers. Not the Bolts, or the fins, nor the Steelers.
@@damienmensinger1439 Joe Montana beat the 49ers that year Dan Marino and the Dolphins beat the Chiefs, Any Given Sunday ,The 49ers got lucky at the beginning of the game with the three turnovers by Dallas, Dallas Kicked the 49ers are for three-quarters of the game not to mention that horrific call on Michael Irving in the fourth quarter the refs basically gave the game to the Niners
@@peetti3608 Kansas City did the Miami beat Kansas City
I agree 33 13 . Dallas did smack them and got robbed at the end. I’m a lifelong cowboys fan and remember as a kid flipping out over the call. Dallas was the best team in the league hands down but the 49ers were magical that year. Young deserved that one
So glad the Chargers got their asses handed to them in the Super Bowl. Such a fraud of a team.
Kinda like Jimmy Garoppolo during Super Bowl 54?
You're an idiot, and obviously know nothing about the history of the NFL, the Chargers or the dolphins
Bro, you realize 10 member of the team died of tragic causes
That's the spirit boy! Next stop, hating all the business faking as real sports! ~Brian
Shula, was unfortunately overrated in his last 10 yrs. Marino made him look great.
