2. NFC Wild Card game- Arizona Cardinals vs. Atlanta Falcons, Jan. 3 2009. The only playoff game I’ve been to. My brother was living in Phoenix at the time so I drove down and we went to the game. Hall-of-Famer Kurt Warner threw a touchdown pass to future Hall-of-Famer Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals won 30-24 and made it to the Super Bowl that year, but lost to the Steelers.

NFL Playoffs or Super Bowls — Greatest Events You Watched Live In Person or on TV

1. The Music City Miracle — the 1999 season AFC Wildcard round, the Tennessee Titans defeat the Buffalo Bills in Nashville TN at the end of the game: the Bills, having just scored on a 41-yard field goal with 16 seconds remaining in the game to take a 16-15 lead, kicked off to the Titans’ Lorenzo Neal. Lorenzo Neal pitched the ball to Frank Wycheck who lateraled the ball to Kevin Dyson who ran 75 yards for the winning touchdown. Titans win 22-16!

2. NFC Wild Card game- Arizona Cardinals vs. Atlanta Falcons, Jan. 3 2009. The only playoff game I’ve been to. My brother was living in Phoenix at the time so I drove down and we went to the game. Hall-of-Famer Kurt Warner threw a touchdown pass to future Hall-of-Famer Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals won 30-24 and made it to the Super Bowl that year, but lost to the Steelers.

3. Super Bowl 51, the only overtime Super Bowl. It was 3-28 in the 3rd, New England losing to Atlanta. Final score was 34-28, New England wins in overtime.

4. Buffalo Bills Jan 4 2020, their first playoff touchdown in 20 years, on a trick play early in the 1st quarter. Too bad they lost. [THE FIRST BILLS PLAYOFF TOUCHDOWN IN 20 YEARS! - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIzszeu75X0)

5. The comeback game - January 3, 1993. The Houston Oilers were ahead by 32 points but the Buffalo Bills came back and won the game in overtime. I was there in the stadium.

6. Super Bowl XLI - Devin Hester returns the opening kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown.

The rest of the game, ugh…
