68 Jets 10
69 Chiefs 24

Joe Namath threw a costly interception in the end zone with 2 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. Willie "the hammer" Lanier stepped in front of an ill advised Namath throw and returned it for a touchdown to put the 69 Chiefs ahead for good.

Hank Stram called his famous 65 counter trap play (see NFL films) on all of his running plays which was held in check by a resilient Jets front four.

The difference in the game was Len Dawsons ability to scramble which accounted for 30 yards on crucial third downs.

82 Redskins 16
85 Bears 37

The 85 Bears overwhelmed an excellent 82 Redskins at Soldier Filed on a balmy like evening.

The Redskins had no answers for the explosive and efficient attack of the Bears offense. Walter Payton averaged 15.5 yards per carry and scored 4 touchdowns. Jim McMahon shared the ball with 5 different receivers and threw a 72 yard strike for a touchdown to Emery Moorehead.

The Redskins did manage to move the ball, but could not string enough good plays together to produce more points against a lights out defense. Mark Mosley missed three field goals which gave the momentum away.

75 Steelers 31
64 Browns 14

The Steel Curtain forced 4 turnovers and turned them into 28 points as they soundly beat the 64 Browns at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium

Mel Blount intercepted the ball two times on consecutive possessions that gave the 75 Steelers a comfortable 17-7 lead going in to halftime.

The Steel Curtain loaded the box daring Frank Ryan to take chances. Frank Ryan had little time in the pocket all day and threw the ball into tight one on one coverage on every pass. The margin of error was small, and a speedy, tough and smart Steel Curtain set the tone and dominated the game.

Terry Bradshaw threw two touchdown passes to Lynn Swann and Jim Brown was contained to 75 yards on only 8 carries.

89 49ers 17
90 Giants 44

The 90 Giants came out of the locker room after halftime with a cold and fiery attitude on defense. They shut down Montana's offense on the strength of registered 8 sacks in the second half and scored 30 unanswered points.

On offense, the 90 Giants steamrolled George Seifert's defense and gashed them for 219 yards rushing. Ottis Anderson and Dave Meggett saw huge holes all day behind the brutte force of Jumbo Elliot and Mark Bavarro.

Ottis Anderson was injured in the 4th quarter and his status is in question.

Asked about the West Coast offense, Bill Parcells said that the "East Coast defense is what wins championships." Defensive coordinator Bill Belichick made a brief statement after the game " we executed better than they did".

72 Dolphins 7
69 Chiefs 10

An inspired Chiefs defense shut down the powerful running game of the 72 Dolphins on a muddy battlefield at Arrowhead Stadium. 

Willie Lanier knocked Bob Griese out of the game with a concussion in the first quarter. Lanier also forced and recovered a fumble in the endzone to stop a Miami drive late in the 4th qtr as he ran the ball back into Miami terriotory which set up the game clinching field goal by Jan Stenerud.

Earl Morral's magic ran out as he came in relief. He was sacked 4 times and terribly missed his targets all day.
The 69 Chiefs had a tough time against a very stingy no name defense. The Chiefs did manage to put together a methodical 92 yard touch down drive in the first quarter and scored on a Len Dawson sneak.

85 Bears 24
66 Packers 7

Vince Lombardi and his Packers had no answers against a swarming Bears defense on a frigid day at Lambeu Field.

The Bears defense stopped the run and ran the ball effectively in advancing to the NFC Championship game. Richard Dent recorded 5 sacks and was a demoralizing force all day. Walter Payton rushed for 123 yards on 12 carries and scored 3 touchdowns.

In an interesting twist during the game, cameras caught Buddy Ryan and Mike Ditka choking each other directly after a Jim McMahon interception.

76 Raiders 17
75 Steelers 10

Fred Biletnikoff caught a 37 yard game winning touchdown pass with 44 seconds left to play to secure a spot in the AFC Championship against the 69 Chiefs.
Kenny the snake Stabler took a vicious hit by mean Joe Greene as he just released the ball which found it's way into Biletnikoff's hands. The massive Raiders offensive line gave Stabler good protection all day against the Steel Curtain.
One of the NFL's historic rivalries was viewed by more than 30 million viewers according to the Nielson ratings. John Madden, who was the fastest to reach 100 wins, commented that Al Davis gave an inspirational speech before the game, "win it for yourselves, win it for California, and just win baby".

77 Cowboys 21
90 Giants 17

Tom Laundry's sophisticated offense jumped out to a 21-0 lead on it's first three drives and it proved to be just enough as the 77 Cowboys held on for a 21-17 victory over the 90 Giants.

Dave Meggett spearheaded a Giants comeback as he scored two touchdowns and combined for 171 yards rushing and receiving. Phil Sims threw a critical interception early in the 4th quarter in Cowboys territory as he tried to squeeze a pass into double coverage to Stephen Baker the touchdown maker.

The Doomsday defense were led by a furious pass rush in which Ed too tall Jones and Randy White combined for 8 sacks. On offense, Roger Staubach surgically dissected one of the league's best defenses on the Cowboys first three opening drives. However, after the third touchdown, the Cowboys only managed 2 first downs.

The 77 Cowboys will face the 85 Bears in the NFC Championship game. It will be student against teacher. Mike Ditka served as offensive coordinator on Tom Laundry's coaching staff during the 70's. It will be smash mouth football against sophistication, the 46 defense vs the doomsday defense.

AFC Championship

69 Chiefs 7
76 Raiders 28

The autumn wind blew the 69 Chiefs right out of Oakland as the 76 Raiders won the AFC Championship in convincing fashion by a score of 28-7.

Oakland jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first half on the strength of their pass defense which registered 4 interceptions that Ken Stabler and his offense converted into 28 points. The Raiders defensive backs pillaged the passing attack of Len Dawson. Len Dawson could not figure out the Raiders defense as he passed for 6 yards, completed 22 percent of his passes, and threw 4 interceptions into blanket coverage.

The Silver and Black will be making their second Tecmo Super Bowl appearance as they await the winner of the 85 Bears-77 Cowboys epic match up later today.

NFC Championship

85 Bears 31
77 Cowboys 21

The 85 Bears 46 defense forced a punt in Bears territory with 4 minutes remaining in the game with the Bears leading 24-21. The Bears then drove 80 yards capped off by a 26 yard touch down run by Walter Payton to seal the game 31-21 and advance to Super Tecmo Bowl VI.

Walter Payton gashed the Doomsday defense and rushed for 111 yards on 10 carries providing steady first downs for the Bears. Jim McMahon completed 70 percent of his passes and threw a TD pass to Matt Suhey in the first quarter. The Bears famous 46 defense stuffed Tony Dorsett, but could not contain Drew Pearson (3 catches/188 yards).
The Bears defense did force 3 turnovers which proved to be the difference as the Bears won the turnover battle 3-2.

The Cowboys relied on big plays to set up all three of their scores with long touchdown passes from Staubach to  Drew Pearson. Other than that, the Cowboys had a tough time with the 46 defense.

The 85 Bears will face the 76 Raiders in Superbowl VI.
