New York 20 at Miami 17 (Conference Championship Game)

The key to this game was the 3rd quarter.  At the half Miami was ahead 10-7, at the end of the 3rd quarter Miami was ahead 17-10, but Miami had only managed 1 play of offense in the entire 3rd quarter, with 1:15 left, and that was a fumble which setup the Jets tying score early in the 4th.  When the game was all tied up 17-17 and Miami punted the ball out of bounds at the five with 2:09 left in the game, the Jets had no doubt they could put together a drive to win the game.  The Dolphins defense was completely exhausted and had nothing left.  90 yards later Pat Leahy kicked through the game winner and the Jets were crowned the Conference champs.  Vince Evans lived up to his hype playing a brilliant game.
