Buffalo Bills: Super Bowl XXV
Really, Buffalo's entire 1990s postseason run, but Super Bowl XXV might have changed everything had they won it. Even after getting dominated in time of possession, the Bills still could have won it with a 47 yard field goal. Instead, Scott Norwood pulled it and Al Michaels's words "No good, wide right" have haunted the franchise and its fans ever since.
Miami Dolphins: Super Bowl XIX
Dan Marino and Joe Montana were both supreme talents at quarterback. But it didn't take long in this game to see which one had a complete team backing him up and which one got to the Super Bowl almost entirely on the strength of their QB.
Miami's lack of a strong running game or defense came to bite them as San Francisco won convincingly. Marino never played in another Super Bowl.
New England Patriots: Super Bowl XLII
You've had an undefeated season. You've scored more points than anyone in history. Your opponent in the Super Bowl is a sixth seed. Surely, you've got this in the bag, right?
Wrong.
Your high-powered offense gets stifled all game by a team that finished 17th in points allowed.
You drop a potential game-clinching interception. On that same drive, you give up the infamous helmet catch. Then you give up the game-winning touchdown.
Yes you set the record for wins in a season. But it don't mean a thing if you ain't got the ring.
New York Jets: 1986 AFC Divisional
One of the select few games in league history that went into double overtime. But playoff games can't end in a tie, which means one team was going to have to pull out of this with a victory, and it would NOT be the Jets. This was a chance to return to glory for the first time since 1968. Instead, it became clear that Ken O'Brien was NOT Joe Namath.
