All week Monte Kiffiin's focus was having his defense prepared to stop Roger Staubach's passing game and scrambling. Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, and John Lynch succeeded. However, they forgot about Tony Dorsett.

Dorsett slashed and dashed for 180 yards against a very well respected Tampa Two. He scored three touchdowns on runs of 25 yards or more each time.

Tom Laundry will now take America's team and his doomsday defense to the NFC championship game where the greatest show on turf awaits.

Warrick Dunn was not in Tampa for the 02 superbowl run.

Pittman, and Alstott.

[ultimate7]

Warrick Dunn was not in Tampa for the 02 superbowl run.

That's true
WTF Darky, the '85 Bears protest this season, eliminated with the use of an illegal player

[nomaaa]

stillllllllllllerzzzz

[Darky]

I never noticed that aspect. True, Dunn was a Falcon in 02. I just run the games people. I did not create the rom. Mistakes happen.

The protest is overruled. The 85 Bears were served some serious pw3nage by Dunn. They deserved to lose by allowing some dude under 180 pounds to go off like that on the 46.

In future matches, Dunn will not sniff the field. I'll see to it that happens.

The Tecmo Superbowl will be played Sunday. Happy Holidays.

With those words, quarterback Kurt Warner, MVP of Tecmo Super Bowl XI, wrapped up an incredible season, and once again, with his family watching from the stands, Kurt will be part of Tecmo Super Bowl history" said Kurt Warner, a deeply religious man.

98 Vikings 28

Randy Moss put the game away with under two minutes to play as he scored on a 72 yard precision strike from Randall Cunningham.

The Bears missed a field goal and settled for a field goal in the second half which proved to be the difference in trying to keep up with the explosive 98 Vikings.

Dungy's two deep defense bent a lot during the game, but managed not to give up a huge play the entire game as Walter Payton was contained. Jim McMahon struggled on key third downs as he was off the target a few times.

Vikings head coach Denny Green was not the least bit surprised over his team's victory over Ditka's Bears. Even offensive coordinator Brian Billick chipped in and confidently stated that he had no doubt that his offense would be able to move the ball effectively against Buddy Ryan's 46 defense.

[Gantry]

This would never happen.  NEVER!

[Darky]

This would never happen.  NEVER!

Out of ten times in RL? I'd say Chicago 9-1. And that's being nice to Vikings fans.

The other dynasty rom that I run with the classic teams, Chicago's defense is the best defense I have ever seen on any Tecmo rom...they arguably could be the best team ever to step on the Tecmo field on any rom. I run that rom next tourney this week.

On this rom, their defense is not as superior as the other dynasty rom. Offense rules on this rom.

90 Bills 28

Bruce Smith sacked Warren Moon 6 times and pressured him all game as he led the 90 Bills to a 28-14 win that was a lot more lopsided than the score indicates. The Bills jumped out to a 28-7 lead in the fourth quarter.

Thurman Thomas (1 TD) was injured in the second quarter and left the game, but Jim Kelley played effectively and was able to compensate with successful high percentage throws in the  no-huddle "K-Gun" offense.

Don Beebe scored two touchdowns and James Mueller added one with a 12 yard td reception.
