This marked -The last Dolphins road playoff win to date -The last playoff win ever for Jimmy Johnson as NFL head coach -The last playoff win for Dan Marino -The last game at the Kingdome -The last playoff game for the Seahawks as an AFC team -The last playoff game for Ricky Watters -The first playoff game for Walter Jones
This Dolphins victory was a calm before the storm…and boy were the Phins were in for a rude awakening the following week when they went to Jacksonville.
He had a good run with them. Some people feel that he should be inducted into the HOF because of this run along with his body of work with Packers and 49ers. And the Pete Carrol era has been the greatest for the Seahawks!
Actually when they first came into the NFL, they were in the NFC for 1 year before going to the AFC. And the Bucs were in the AFC for one year before they went into the NFC. Back in '76.
@@redpillfreedom6692 Had something to do with the expansion plan they had back then. I don't really remember. But with the rotation of playing now, that must be a rule that's gone now.
When Houston reentered the NFL in 2002 it was an AFC market and that would have meant a top heavy AFC so the league switched up divisions for balance. The NFC West was the most altered losing Carolina, Atlanta, and New Orleans to the NFC South with the Bucs (out of the NFC Central now North) and the Seahawks and Cardinals (still in the NFC East because they’d been in St. Louis) now in the new NFC West
Actually I think Miami had a record similar to that 8-2 mark that season before it all went south and even tho that 99 season was one of the worst in the JOHNSON/WANNSTEDT era,they still came thru in this one,but then never got off the bus for their NXT game!!Man till this day it bothers how they let MARINO end his career and yes I say let because even tho that D was tired and they were facing a buzzsaw of an offense,it's just ridiculous that u couldn't even slow the damn pace for a couple consecutive drives,now I don't recall if Fins DEFENSE was healthy at that point,but man,they still had some very good players on that side,in fact JIMMY just couldn't get the offense right,but he brought a great D to that team and pretty much immediately we saw flashes in 96 of what was to come and if only Marino had an offense in 98 cuz that year that DEFENSE was ranked #3 in yards and #1 in points but Dan was at the end and by this point he needed more help then ever before and just didn't get it but it was not a Marino friendly system either,and JJ just could not get the WR Marino needed,they had a good #2 in McDuffie and a solid #3 in Gadsden but no HR hitter but man I think a lot of us fans forget just how good that DEFENSE was in Miami and STAYED a top unit for another 4 seasons into the 00's and 00 was arguably their best season along with 98 season and I know FANGIO will end up with a top unit at some point,but I hope its not in a couple of yrs when they start losing some of these elite players on OFFENSE cuz Fins can NEVER,EVER have balance,one or the other but the nxt season and a hakf is their best chance!!
The problem ultimately was Johnson shouldn’t have kept Marino. No amount of supporting cast could ever make him better than he actually was (I’m so sick of fans trying to excuse fundamentally limited quarterbacks by pretending they weren’t doing less with more). Johnson should have tried to develop a better quarterback
@Jonathan Dee The One And Only The Kingdome was one of those concrete donuts that just didn't hold up when the next generation of venues rose from the ground. King County, Wash. didn't maintain it or invest in it very well and the Seahawks nearly moved as a result.
@@marcus813 Mariners also nearly relocated. If it wasn't for Randy Johnson's effort in the 1 game playoff for the AL West and the ALDS, they would have moved.

Astrodome, Metrodome, Silverdome, Kingdome . All a part of ancient history
Also the Hoosier Dome. As of 11/22/22, the Superdome is the only "classic dome" standing.
@@wildethang93The Astrodome still stands. It's just sitting there.
This was the start of a pretty solid era for the Seahawks with Mike Holmgren as coach.
He had a good run with them. Some people feel that he should be inducted into the HOF because of this run along with his body of work with Packers and 49ers.
And the Pete Carrol era has been the greatest for the Seahawks!
Dan Marino's final 4th quarter comeback
Also his only road playoff win
Dolphins fan here trying to remember what it felt like to win a playoff game
Right!
Marino really struggled this year, but he was able to turn back the clock on this day.
He had two great games against the colts too. It was like the passing of the torch from Dan to Peyton
He was so up and down, went out almost the worst way
Dan Marino’s last win
And Jimmy Johnson's
39 Field goals by Mare!!! Wow
Marino's knees were so bad, he looks like he can barely move here. Still has great pocket awareness.
4:23 Golic makes that point
Olindo Mare..... WHOA OH!
Before Mike Golic became famous as a radio host
I never knew that the Seahawks were in the AFC before lol
Actually when they first came into the NFL, they were in the NFC for 1 year before going to the AFC. And the Bucs were in the AFC for one year before they went into the NFC. Back in '76.
If you were born after 1995, all your life you’d think Seahawks were in the NFC West
@@bdog1323
What was the reason for that switch?

1:53 - Both players are grabbing each others facemask, but only the defender will get called for a penalty. That's not fair.
lol That was a big win before a HUGE a*s whooping the next week.
Two teams that really backed into the playoffs.
The Seahawks backed in worse because they were 8-2 and only won once the last seven games

I forgot Brock Marion used to return kicks. Are there any other starting safeties that also were used as kickoff returners?
The end of the Kingdome era in Seattle. A game so ugly, it was unfortunate someone had to win.

@Jonathan Dee The One And Only And now they're getting an NHL team in the Seattle Kraken.
Not as ugly as the absolute destruction of Miami next week in Jacksonville.
Kitna would next play in the playoffs in 2006 against the Steelers when Carson Palmer tore his knee on the first play from scrimmage.
Then Jacksonville laid the wood to then the following week 62-7
Marino’s last win.
The way their next game went, Marino wishes they would have lost in Seattle instead.
Seattle was in the AfC??
Yes prior to Houston Texans expansion
Ricky watters for who for what
Is this the only team to go from AFC to NFC? Seahawks?
No.
Buccaneers were in the AFC in 1976. Moved to NFC in 1977.
Seahawks 1-6 the last seven games of 1999
1-5 end of regular season, one and out playoffs
