Miami 23 at Kansas City 20 (1981 AFC Championship Game)

The Dolphins defense couldn't have played any better.  They forced turnovers and put a clamp on the best offense in the NFL.  The only touchdown the Chiefs got in the first half was setup by a 90+ yard interception to the Miami one.  Miami also got a great game out of Bob Griese.  The Chiefs were able to contain the Dolphins running game, but Griese had a hot hand and he was able to keep the Chiefs offense off the field.  It's a disappointing end for the Chiefs, but this team should be right back again next year.  If their defense gets even better, it's hard to imagine anyone being able to stop them. Miami wins the AFC for the second consecutive year and will now hit the road for the Super Bowl as it's the NFC's turn to host the big game.
