Dallas 24 at Detroit 27 (1981 NFC Championship Game)

With just over 2 minutes left, down 27-24, and close to midfield the Cowboys faced a 4th and 6.  They chose to punt hoping to get the ball back, but never did.  Dallas played a great game, their defense was very good, but it was too much to ask their defense to try and hold back the Lions with so much on the line.  Greg Landry leads his Lions back to the Super Bowl for the second time in 5 years.
