Legendary Games
Game #4 – Los Angeles (Derek) vs. Seattle (Cam) –
Back-to-back kick returns for touchdowns by Tim Brown and BJ Edmonds. First and only time ever.
Game #36 – Chicago (Cam) vs. San Francisco (Derek) –
With Chicago up 14-13 with time winding down, San Fran barely scrapes into field goal range, and proceeds to hit a 40 yard field goal as time expires to win the game 16-14, despite the holder being popped.
Game #40 – New York (Cam) vs. San Francisco (Derek) –
The Cheapest Game Ever. For the first time ever the now conventional “Be Banks” strategy comes into play, and works to per-fucking-fection until the Tecmo Gods step in. San Fran scores in the dying seconds to win the game 7-6.
Game #48 – Seattle (Cam) vs. Los Angeles (Derek) –
In a shocking game the former Seattle Blowers firmly established themselves as a Tecmo power. Seattle’s offense put up a huge 31 points against LA’s defense and managed to hold LA’s #1 offense to only 3 points. Having been slowly moving up the rankings Seattle finally made a statement game to claim a spot among Tecmo’s best. But they’re still the Blowers.
Game #62 – Chicago (Kyle) vs. Denver (Cam) –
A pretty uneventful game other then a Tecmo-record 98-yard interception return as time expires for Chicago’s Dave Deverson.
Game #68 – New York (Derek) vs. San Francisco (Cam) –
The Horseshit Bowl. San Fran scares the living hell out of the Giants until the Tecmo Gods refuse to let them lose. The game goes into OT, and the Giants win the coin toss, and the game.
Game #94 – Dallas (Derek) vs. Chicago (Kyle) –
A season 2 match-up made famous for Mike Gentry’s 2 Kick Returns for Touchdowns. Giving Chicago the 14-9 victory. This was the first 2 Kick Return game by one player in Tecmo history.
Mike Gentry, getting gay returns since 1982
Game #96 – New York (Kyle) vs. Seattle (Cam) –
Another season 2 game seeing the Giants and Seahawks go into over-time. 0-0 after regulation, the game was and still is the longest game in Tecmo Bowl history. It finally ended when LT said “enough is enough” got the INT and the Giants into FG range for the 3-0 win.
LT, everywhere since 1981
Game #100 – Chicago (Kyle) vs. Miami (Cam) –
Mike Gentry up to his old tricks. With one kick return in the books already Gentry got the ball in over-time as Chicago won the toss after regulation time ended 13-13. Gentry proceeds to run the kick back for the major and the win. This was Mike Gentry’s 2nd 2 Kick Return game.
Mike Gentry, again. Not calling him Dennis since 2003.
Then for a long time nothing happened…
Game #156 – Tecmo Bowl II – Washington (Derek) vs. Seattle (Cam) –
The finals of the second Tecmo season saw Washington’s stingy defense, led by the Doom Combo of Manley and Mann, face up-start Seattle who had finally found a winning formula. It was a tight contest until late in the game when Washington managed to pick up a first down despite Seattle’s defense calling the play (something that would never happen under new Tecmo rules) this all lead to Washington getting the lead and the win. Final score 13-3.
Doom Combo, causing Doom since 1983
Game #216 – Tecmo Bowl III – Chicago (Derek) vs. New York (Cam) –
Another season, another Giants win. Totally unshocking stuff if this site has taught you anything. Standard New York’s #1 defense giving up 0 points and Simms and the boys doing their job. Final score: 10-0.
Game #217 – Chicago (Kyle) vs. San Francisco (Derek) –
The first game of Season 4 saw a dramatic finish. With time running out San Fran battled into field goal range and attempted the long field goal for the win. But Otis Wilson had other ideas. Wilson manages to shock the crowd and block the field goal! The game went to OT where Chicago eventually came out on top for the 13-10 win.
Game #253 – New York (Kyle) vs. Seattle (Cam) –
Down 14-0 entering the 4th quarter it looked like Seattle was going to cruise to victory. That is until the Giants, led by LT and JoMo, score 14 unanswered in the 4th to force OT in dramatic fashion. With both offenses looking unstoppable the coin toss was of the up most importance. The Giants won it. And quickly got the FG for the win, prompting a NES fist smash of doom. This is probably the first signs of Kyle coming around with the New York Giants, something that was made official a little further down the road.
Game #287 – Los Angeles (Cam) vs. New York (Derek) –
The New York Gods. Basically by fluke accident it is discovered that the New York Giants’ defense can totally own the best offense in the game. By picking Pass 1 and being Banks, LA’s offense can go nowhere. This basically solidifies New York’s status as the undisputed heavyweight champions of Tecmo Bowl, never to be overtook.
Carl Banks, shutting down LA since 1984
Game #296 – Chicago (Cam) vs. Miami (Derek) –
A totally insignificant game made famous for it marking the dying of the kick return for Touchdowns. Mike Gentry put one on the board this game to help give Chicago the 13-6 win. Since this game there have been a big drop-off in kick returns for touchdowns. This is not to say big kick returns are not happening, because they still are (just ask Crawford) but they aren’t going for majors anymore for whatever reason.
Game #298 – Minnesota (Derek) vs. Los Angeles (Cam) –
The Infamous NES Wall Throw. Yeah, wall throw. After two completely inexplicable incomplete long bombs way down field thrown by LA’s Jay Schroeder, Cam announces that if Minnesota scores any points he is going to throw the Nintendo at the wall. One field goal later the Nintendo was tasting wall. And rightfully so. It was up and running again in 10 minutes.
Game #301 – Washington (Cam) vs. New York (Kyle) –
Dexter Manley Says No. In a hugely defensive affair, with both the Giants and Redskins struggling to move the ball, Manley steps up and becomes a certified Tecmo legend. It is widely know that the Giants TOTALLY own the Washington O and that they can barely go 10 yards, so Dexter Manley decides to do it himself. The Giants had the ball at around mid-field and were getting close to FG range, and the 3 points they need to win, until Phil Simms lofts up an ill-advised ball on patented Pass 2. Dexter Manley comes flying into the screen at LT-like speeds, grabs the ball out of the receivers hands and proceeds to run it back 40 or so yards to inside the Giants 15. QB Doug Williams capitalizes and gets Washington the major for the HUGE upset victory 7-0.
Dexter Manley, assassinating the run since 1981
Game #307 – Miami (Derek) vs. Cleveland (Kyle) –
With Miami at full powerhouse status at this point everyone in the crowd was expecting an easy Miami victory, but Cleveland’s defensive co-coordinator had other ideas. In what maybe the biggest play-calling effort in Tecmo history Cleveland stymied the unstoppable Miami O in unbelievable fashion, and was in position to win the game until Cleveland’s kicker Bahr stepped onto the field. Bahr missed 2 FGs on this fateful day, costing Cleveland a 6-3 loss even after super-human defensive effort from Dixon and the boys.
Matt Bahr, missing clutch FGs since Kyle got a hold of CLE
Game #320 – San Francisco (Cam) vs. New York (Derek) –
The Greatest Game of All-Time. Derek was 17-0 with the Giants entering the game; the only remaining undefeated team in Tecmo. The pressure had begun mounting for weeks as several teams gave the Giants some close calls, including SF a couple of times. But Joe Montana and Spider-Man were not to be denied this time. In an extremely close game the Giants had managed to get up 3-0 with time winding down in the 4th quarter. Montana rallied the troops and marched down field in a spectacular drive that avoided play-picks like the plague, and saw Montana show no fear in the pocket. With SF ultra deep in Giants territory, but LT looming on any FG attempts, Montana decided to go end zone, and who better to throw to then the Greatest of All-Times, Jerry Rice. On a gutsy Pass 1 call, Montana quickly cycled and found Rice in the end zone for the major. The Giants were left with little time remaining, and Phil Simms last second drive could not get it done against the determined San Fran defense. Final score SF 7, Giants 3. Amazing stuff. Made more amazing by Derek being 0 LT all game. Shocking stuff, since LT was begging to save the game, like he always does.
Jerry Rice. The Greatest of All-Times since before you were born.
Games #330-333 – Various –
Games #330 to #333 saw a streak of 4 straight games going in over-time, providing further proof Tecmo parity has become a full scale reality. (Damn.)
Game #354 – San Francisco (Derek) vs. Cleveland (Cam) –
Dixon with 4 INTs. Tying the Tecmo Bowl record, we think. A truly insane maniac performance that lifted Cleveland to a hard fought 6-3 win.
Game #366 – Tecmo Bowl IV Finals - Miami (Derek) vs. New York (Kyle) –
The game that finally showed Kyle, playing in his 100th career game, could win with the Giants, like all real players can. A rock solid 9-0 victory. Much more important in terms of human player development then in the actual game itself.
Giants winning the Tecmo Bowl. Since the beginning of time.
Game #380 - Chicago (Cam) vs. Los Angeles (Derek) -
Mike Gentry gets the first kick return for a TD in 84 games played. Kick returns are offically back, and are gayer then ever.
Game #383 - San Francisco (Derek) vs. New York (Cam) -
With the NYG up 7-3 and only 1 second left you would think the game was all but over, but instead Montana managed to squeeze in an extra close 10 yard pass to his TE on Pass 2 and grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat. Cam, not standing for this kind of bullshit promptly stomps the Nintendo into submission, collapsing it's insides. Speculation abound of whether this was the end for Nintendo were put to rest after opening it up and repairing the bent steel case. Already weakened from earlier structural damage Nintendo is still coming on strong, because it is Nintendo.
Nintendo, being invincible since 1985.
Game #384 - Tourney 7 Finals - Chicago (Cam) vs. San Francisco (Derek) -
The New York Giants not involved in a Finals. Strange and disappointing stuff. San Fran managed to pull out the close 3-0 victory in a game dominated by defense. San Fran winning this tournament marked the first time a non-NYG, LA, WSH team had won anything.
Game #391 - Miami (Cam) vs. New York (Derek) -
Miami Shocks the World. Miami's 3-0 victory on this day marked only the 2nd time Derek had lost with the New York Giants. Marino totally dominated the NYG Defense, getting his team inside the Giants 10 on 3 different occasions. Despite only coming away with 3 points, it was enough as the Miami defense played unbelievable, holding the Giants in their own territory the entire game. This looks to be Miami's last hurray as a totally unstoppable mega power, but you never know when you're talking about a team as gay as Miami.
Game #394 - Tourney 8 Finals - San Francisco (Cam) vs. Minnesota (Derek) -
Minnesota Shocks the World. Minnesota proves that they are without a doubt the gayest team in Tecmo Bowl. After beating Dallas in Round 1, then shocking the experts with wins over 2 very good teams in Cleveland and Miami, Minnesota goes out and wins a freaking tournament. After getting up early, Minnesota is reward a questionable INT from a driving Montana, prompting a good old fashion quit from Cam. Handing Minnesota the 21-0 win, and the tournament.
Game #408 - Tourney 6 Finals - New York (Cam) vs. Chicago (Derek) -
Tourney 6 was delayed while Kyle was off being an ass. After getting gang probed by Ken Bell in the semi-finals the NYG special teams are again outrageously gang probed dispite being the supposed "best special teams in the game." Mike Gentry gets 2 returns past mid-field (the record against the NYG), making 3 kick returns past the 50 in a row against the Giants, when in their previous 70 or so games it happened exactly once. This caused for a big knee right to the Nintendo's face from Cam. Come on 3 in a row?!?! The Nintendo was seemingly unaffected after 15 minutes of rest. Final score 13-3 Chicago. Their first win at anything.
Game #417 - Denver (Derek) vs. Indianapolis (Cam) -
This Tourney 9 match-up saw Indy score early, and later in the game get a huge defensive stand inside their own 5. After going down by 2 touchdowns from a super long pass by Trudeau, Derek smashed the controller full blast onto the Nintendo, causing some major league structural damage. After opening it up to repair it Nintendo has looked shaky in recent games, a couple of freezes out of nowhere and the like. The Nintendo is now on it's last legs in the stretch drive to 500 games played.
Game #427 - Cleveland (Derek) vs. New York (Cam) -
This Tourney 9 games saw regular contender Cleveland challange the always champion New York Giants. This close defensive contest (did you expect offense?) saw Cleveland manage their way into field goal range (inside the NYG 10) and hit the only score of the game for the 3-0 win. This game marked the first time Cleveland had defeated the powerhouse Giants, something that they are capable of, gayly enough. Sometime around this game the new, crazy and insane motto "Why Call Run?" came in to exsistence. Deviating a lot from the standard and traditional What Do You Do? You Call Run.
Game #430 - Chicago (Cam) vs. Indianapolis (Derek) -
Bickett is Larry Bird. With Chicago up 10-3 late in the 4th, and deep in IND territory, Bears quarterback Jim McMahon casually calls Pass 2 and puts up an easily completed pass to wide reciever Willie Gault. Indy linebacker, Duanne Bickett, however had other ideas. Dispite being MILES away from the WR he manages to haul in the pass for the incredible INT. This INT set new standards in how far the defender can be from the receiver and still get the pick, breaking Dixon's recently set mark. It was literally unbelievable, as jaws were on the floor for several minutes. Indy almost used the momentum to make the comeback but an Chicago INT ended that.
Game #434 - Tourney 9 Finals - New York (Derek) vs. Cleveland (Cam) -
The championship game of the 9th Tecmo tournament (the first of the double knock-out variety) saw the 5-1 Giants (lost to CLE) face the 5-1 Browns (lost to NYG). Another standard New York Giants defensive affair, this game went to overtime tied 0-0. Immutable laws be damned, the Tecmo Gods give the Giants the toss win and the Giants O did what they do, and that's get their points. It ended 7-0 NYG, giving LT his 4th tournament trophy.
Game #472 - Dallas (Cam) vs. Washington (Derek) -
Some time around here, maybe before, it was found out that Washington can't move the ball and became the worst team in the game. By being the RE and calling Pass 2 Washnigton's offense can only do 2 things: 1. Go to Run 2, which can get about 6-7 yards 50% of the time and 2-3 the other 50% and 2. Go to Pass 1 and force in some risky passes. Washington's only hope now is Manley to step up huge on defense.
Dexter Manley, Washington's only hope since Game #472.
Game #474 – Chicago (Cam) vs. New York (Derek) –
Late in the 4th quarter with the game tied 0-0 the Giants had the ball in their own territory. Instead of electing to punt and force the game into overtime the Giants inexplicably go for it on 4th down and, with accordance to Tecmo’s Immutable Laws, have their play picked. Simms was unable to get it into the air in time in order to gain a little field position and was sacked deep in Giant territory. The Bears took full advantage and managed to gain the 10-15 yards needed for the game-winning field goal. Final score 3-0. This game marked only the 3rd time in 29 games that Derek has lost with the NYG, all on the road.
Game #489 & #490 – Dallas (Cam) vs. Miami (Derek) & Minnesota (Cam) vs. Miami (Derek) –
These 2 games officially marked Miami’s fall as a full blown mega power, and dropped them to merely unstoppable but beatable. Dallas won 12-3 on the back of a couple of Jeffcoats INTs, and Minnesota managed to win 13-0 prompting a Nintendo smash. Back-to-back losses to 2 of the bottom 3 teams in the game have really dropped Miami down the pow
Game #500 – San Francisco (Derek) vs. Seattle (Kyle) –
Yes 500 games. The 500th game also marked the start of the long overdue Season VI. A close game until the end saw Krieg throw a late INT to stop a potential comeback. Final score 17-7.
Game #503 – Minnesota (Cam) vs. New York (Kyle) –
Minnesota gaying teams out since 1961. Yes even enough gay in the tank to gay out the New York Freaking Giants. Minnesota’s first drive of the game saw them go all the way down to the NYG 5 yard line and then settling for a FG. The NYG offense just couldn’t get it going against Minnesota’s tough defense and their many play calls. Minnesota threw a dummy INT mid-game but the NYG long FG attempt was blocked, demoralizing the Giants. Final score Minnesota 3, New York 0.
Game # 511 – Washington (Cam) vs. San Francisco (Derek) –
Powerful Washington. Dexter Manley plays like a maniac and manages to give Washington a 12-3 win over powerhouse San Fran. A massively huge 12 points scored for Washington’s worst offense in the game. This game marked Cam’s 4th straight victory with Washington since they became the worst team in the game. Cam’s per-WSH worst in game record: 12-29 (.293), since 4-0 (1.000). Why? Because Washington is powerful.
Game # 520 – Washington (Derek) vs. Seattle (Kyle) –
A season 6 match-up that was supposed to be a Seattle blow out resulting in the first OT game in 44 games of Tecmo. The average rate before that was about one OT every 9 games played. Washington went up early with a FG, but Seattle’s powerful offense managed to get the running game working against a Washington defense determined not to get beat by the pass. Seattle took a 7-3 lead with a TD. This should have marked the end of the game since Washington’s offense really can’t score TDs at all, but Washington somehow managed to drive the field AND get a TD. With time winding down Seattle managed to get into field goal range to send the game to OT. Washington won the toss in accordance to immutable laws but the terrible offense just couldn’t get it going. It was just a matter of time before Seattle scored. Final score: Washington 10, Seattle 13. A disappointing loss for Washington since they managed to score a huge 10 points, that should be enough for victory for Washington with their Doom Combo defense.
Wide Receiver Reverse, killing offenses since 1988.
Game # 531 – Cleveland (Kyle) vs. San Francisco (Derek) –
A big Season 6 game was tightly contested and in a recent Tecmo Trend Kyle has been an insane maniac when it comes to play calls ever since around game #505 (Cleveland vs. Indy). Like bionics left and right, endless 2 out of 3, and lots of demoralizing 1st down play calls. Since SF is so damn powerful they still managed to scare Cleveland a little bit in regulation. 0-0 after regulation the game goes to OT, where the immutable laws of Tecmo provide Cleveland with the ball. Cleveland drives the field and sets up shop for a 30-35 yard FG. Bahr JUST gets enough of it to scrape the back of the uprights in a tense moment and gets Cleveland the 3-0 win.
Game # 535 – Dallas (Kyle) vs. Denver (Cam) –
Another Seaon 6 game that saw Kyle get his first win with Dallas thanks to finally learning how to run the shot-gun play (just in time mind you) and keeping up his insane play calling on defense. Dallas managed to throw an endzone INT late in the first half giving Denver some hope but Dallas' kept picking their play. Final score: 10-3. In a classic sidenote, with 2 seconds left in the game Kyle throws a jew route and therefore is forced to throw an INT on the next play. Mecklenburg does the catching and proceeds to RUN 65 YARDS FOR THE MAJOR. TAKE THAT Dallas. This was not counted for some reason. Possibly a conspiracy to keep Denver out of the play-offs. But they'll make it. Oh, they'll make it. By hook or by crook.
Game # 537-539 – Various Season 6 Games –
Week 5 of Season 6 started out with 3 huge play-off impacting games. Seattle (Kyle) vs. Denver (Cam), San Francisco (Derek) vs. New York (Kyle), and Miami (Derek) vs. Cleveland (Kyle). Thanks to endless play calling (prompting a new Kyle-play calling defeating strategy that will be discussed later) and some tough play Kyle manages to WIN ALL 3 GAMES. Sadly it offically looks like the party days of getting to pound on Kyle have disappeared and been replaced by sad days of playcalls of doom.
Game # 544 – Cleveland (Kyle) vs. Chicago (Cam) –
To off-set all of this insane playcalling going on teams opposing Kyle offically go to The DICE That's right roll a dice to see what offensive play to call. This worked remarkably well in this contest, giving Chicago a couple of big key drives to win the game 6-3. As an added bonus:
Rules to using the dice
1. Run 1
2. Run 2
3. Pass 1
4. Pass 2
5. Make an executive decision
and 6. Roll again or punt the ball, depending on the situation
The Only Hope vs. Kyle since he decided to be a maniac.
Game #551 - Dallas (Derek) vs. Washington (Cam) -
Whatever it takes. Dallas goes up early 3-0 which really should be the game when you play Washington but a determined Washington O managed to get into range and tie it up. And a little later they actually managed to TAKE THE LEAD, 6-3 thanks to a lack of playcalls. With WSH up 6-3, with the ball, and less then a minute to go just a first down would do it. Washinton proceeds to be ROBBED on a clear first down call where the ball has obviously passed the line but blue decided to do whatever it takes. Dallas' unstoppable O managed to get into range and send the game to OT. After several do-nothing drives for both teams, Washington set-up for a 41 yard FG that didn't have the distance (their 2nd missed FG of the game, standard whatever it takes) giving Dallas awesome field position and the 9-6 win. The game also featured a monster past mid-field kick return and a big punt return by Lavette demoralizing Washington even further and really showing that it was whatever it takes.
Game #552 - Denver (Cam) vs. Indianapolis (Derek) - The Taped Game Era
A nothing game notible for the fact that is the 1st game to be put down on videotape, something that was long overdue. Denver won 7-6 on a last second TD (standard John Elway comeback) and going to the videotape provided some nice stats (Indy 2 1st downs, Denver 8. Both teams getting 6 play-calls etc.) and some good watching.
Game #559 - New York (Cam) vs. Indianapolis (Derek) -
A tough game, as Indy can hang with the New York Giants like only a few teams in Tecmo Bowl can. With the game still scoreless Simms threw an INT and Indy managed to run it back to the Giant 8. Instead of risking getting pushed back out of FG range, Indy goes for the FG right away and gets it to go up 3-0. With less then a minute to go the Giants stay cool and drive the field, with a lot of Pass 1. With 1 second left Simms got out of bounds at the 25 or so yard line and New York tied the game. From there it was all over, everyone knew the Giants would win in OT, which they did.
Game #561 - San Francisco (Cam) vs. New York (Derek) -
Maybe the best match-up in Tecmo Bowl, as it is always an exciting game. The Giants go up 3 early but make a critical mistake of going for a QB sack with Jerry Rice wide open down field, Montana gets it away and suddenly: SF 7, NYG 3. The score stays the same the rest of the game. This marks Derek's 4th loss with the NYG, 2nd to SF. Probably the last time you'll see a game on the legendary page just because Derek lost with the NYG. On the road anyway.
Game #566 - New York (Kyle) vs. Chicago (Cam) -
A huge inter-divison Season 6 game that would likely determine the overall #1 seed saw Kyle manage to TWICE get inside FG range but throw ill-advised INTs allowing Chicago to keep the game scoreless with their offense doing squat. The game entered OT and again saw the Giants driving. Just 2 yards out of FG range the Giants get stimied, and even worse, Simms gets sacked on 4th down at the 50 yard line. Chicago finally has some cause for excitement on offense and manage to drive all the way to the Giant 1 before taking the field goal and the 3-0 win. Chicago really got outplayed badly but a failure on Kyle's part to follow the immutable law of TAKE YOUR DAMN POINTS really cost the Giants on this day.
LT: Telling the offense to Take Their Damn Points since Game #1.
Game #604 - Cleveland (Derek) vs. Seattle (Cam) -
December 27th, 2003 10:41 pm. The first game of Tecmo Bowl since June 14th, 2003. Close game, with lots of rust, saw Seattle miss a FG, and CLE win on a last second FG. Tecmo Fucking Bowl, baby.
Game #639 to #647 -
First offical big day of Tecmo in a long time. 9 games played, 6 for each of us. Cam went 4-2, Derek 3-3, Kyle 2-4. The Tecmo Gods picking up on the huge break between Tecmo playing thought it'd be funny to have the home teams go 1-8 on the day. Cam offically declares ready to play Season 6 after a strong showing.
Season 6 - Game #650 - Seattle (Kyle) vs. Washington (Derek) -
Season 6 back underway after literally months and months of not getting played. Not really a notable game otherwise, Washington battled hard, and thanks to Kreig being an idiot won 10-7.
Game #653 - Minnesota (Cam) vs. San Francisco (Derek) -
Season 6 game saw some strange goings-ons. Jerry Rice was stopped on the 1 yard line after a long bomb from Montana, then Montana made a big mistake of throwing an INT that Minnesota managed to return into field goal range, allowing them to tie it up 3-3. Then in a never-before-seen Tecmo play, that is hard to describe saw Minnesota's Gay Hidden Blocker of Doom (TM) pop the human defender and spring Nelson loose for the huge gain, and allowed Minnesota to kick the game winning field goal near the end of the game. It was all very strange. Luckily for San Fran it ended up having no play-off implications.
Game #654 - Denver (Cam) vs. New York (Kyle) -
Season 6 game. Denver needed this one to keep their play-offs hopes alive, so Elway got the defense extra motivated. The Giants' Pass 2 looked as terrible as its ever has, and a rattled Kyle couldn't regroup. Rulon Jones rang up INT after INT on Pass 2 in route to the game of his life. Final Score: Denver 7, New York 0.
Game #654 - Cleveland (Kyle) vs. Miami (Derek) -
Gerald McNeil captures the title of Kick Return Champion of the World, surpassing the long time champ Mike Gentry. Miami executed a planned short kick-off in order to get the ball back quicker but McNeil decided to run it to the house for his 17th career KR TD. This passed Gentry's 16 and gave McNeil the better kick return touchdown per game ratio then Gentry.
Game #660 - Los Angeles (Derek) vs. Cleveland (Kyle) -
A huge game for Season 6 with monster play-off implications. If LA won they'd make the play-offs, lose and they don't. If Cleveland won they'd get home field vs. Indy in the 1st round of the play-offs, if they lost they'd be out of the picture. The game came down to the final play. LA with the ball on Cleveland's 9 down 7-3 on 4th down with very little time left on the clock. LA goes with Run 2 catching Clevleand's mysterious defensive plan off guard. Cleveland called Bo's Run 1 and then chooses to control Minnifield (who would be blocked on any Run 2 attempt). Some bad D-coordinating there to say the least. Marcus Allen cut down, Minnifield rushes up but is grabbed by a rogue blocker, leaving Allen with just the computer to beat. Luckily for Cleveland their run defense converged quickly on Allen giving him no cutting room and allowed a Clevelad defender to dive and stop Allen about 2 yards short of the goal line and the play-offs.
Game #661 - Washington (Derek) vs. New York (Kyle) -
The last regular season game of Season 6. A defensive battle that went into OT 0-0, saw the Giants get impatient and throw an INT on 4th down on the Washington 40-45 yard line. Not terrible since you're the Giants, not terrible that is until the Washington guy RUNS IT TO THE HOUSE. Oops. Very reministant of Game #472, only this time it was a no-name defender. It was a very impressive defensive showing from a determined Washington team. The Giants occasionally strayed from the tried and true game plan of calling Pass 2 everytime and being Banks, likely angering the Tecmo Gods.
Game #662 - New York (Kyle) vs. Denver (Cam) -
A Season 6 play-off game notable for Tecmo setting new standards in the how much you can miss a field goal by and still get three points catergory.
Game #666 - Tecmo Bowl VI - Chicago (Cam) vs. San Francisco (Derek) -
Mike Gentry returned the game's opening kick-off for a TD giving Chicago the early lead. San Fran marched down field but were forced to settle for a FG. Gentry quickly made that mute with a big KR run into 49er territory, giving Chicago the FG and an insurmountable 10-3 lead. The Penguin Kings finished the job and capture the 6th ever Tecmo Bowl trophy, with a final score of 20-3. Chicago went 10-2 including play-off games, and firmly established themselves as the #2 mega power in Tecmo Bowl. Joe Montana held a post game press conference to voice his disappointment with the loss, which is transcribed here: Montana Press Conference
Notabley Mike Gentry regained his kick return touchdown championship with his KR TD in this game. It marked his 18th KR major, surpassing McNeil, who held the title as as Tecmo's most prolfic kick returner for a measly 11 games.
Mike Gentry's Kick Return Title Belt Since Game #666
Game #677 - Los Angeles (Cam) vs. Miami (Derek) -
Cam declares LA shit, and the 3rd worst team in the game after watching Miami and their 1 rated top outside linebacker totally shutdown LA's formerly high octane offense. Needless to say, nobody is happy about this.
Game #687 - Los Angeles (Kyle) vs. Seattle (Cam) -
Not a season game, or a big game in general but it featured one of the best goal-line stands in Tecmo history. On 4th and goal from about the 3, LA hands off to Marcus Allen but Seattle's safety Easily is able to steer Allen out of bounds at the 1 inch line, saving the game for Seattle.
Game #688 - Washington (Kyle) vs. Denver (Cam) -
The first game of Tecmo Season 7. Denver won 3-0.
Game #690 - New York (Derek) vs. Cleveland (Kyle) -
This Season 7 Week 1 game maybe the most shocking game of Tecmo ever. The Giants couldn't get their offense going against Cleveland's strong playcalling all day, giving Cleveland plenty of opportunity. Late in the game Cleveland finally put together a strong drive, avoiding playcalls well, and had Mack brake off a big 20 yard run. Kosar completed a deep Pass 2 throw and Mack capped it off with a big TD run. The Giants didn't have enough time to respond and Cleveland won the game 7-0. This derailed the New York Football Giants dream of a perfect 10-0 season, and marked Kyle's first career win over the Giants. Most are blaming the TI cover jinx.
LT in Disbelief For the First Time Since Ever.
Game #698 - Washington (Kyle) vs. Seattle (Derek) -
In maybe the longest game of Tecmo ever played Washington and Seattle entered OT tied at 0. Washington stuck to using Run 1 for minimal gains and relied on crazy defensive playcalling to win the field position battle for almost the entire game. Eventually a worn down Dave Krieg made a mistake while trying to go deep to The Congressman but instead hit a covered man over the middle for the interception. Washington took advantage and kicked the game winning field goal. This marked Kyle's first career win with Washington.
New Era of Tecmo Kick Returns
Game #700 - Cleveland (Cam) vs. New York (Kyle) -
Game #700, impressive stuff. McNeil stunned everyone by returning the opening kick-off for a touchdown, something that just doesn't happen to the New York Football Giants. This really goes to show how profound the new era of Tecmo kick returns is. Everyone is hoping for an evolution soon. New York's D held all game, and gave their O lots of chances. Instead of sticking to the immutable laws of Tecmo, the Giants decided to go for the glory of a TD, but instead ended up costing themselves a game they could have won by just taking their points when they had the chances. A pretty eventful 700th game.
Game #711 - Chicago (Kyle) vs. Miami (Cam) -
Dan Marino goes off and just stomps all over Chicago's defense after having recently scared the holy crap out of the Giants. Miami allows 17 and WINS. Stunning stuff. Miami's Pass 1 and Pass 2 aerial show has never looked stronger.
Game #714 & #715 - Los Angeles vs. Washington, Cleveland vs. Washington -
Ladies and gentleman the Doom Combo has had enough and are looking to bring Washington out of the basement with the help of their good buddy Doug Williams. Basically Washington has the desire and the defense to win games vs. virtually anyone, especially if the QB means business. People are putting the women and children to bed because things could get ugly.
Game #717 - Cleveland (Cam) vs. Chicago (Derek) -
The power of home continues to grow as now it appears kickers love home kicking and like to honk long kicks on the road. Butler misses two long FGs that are within his standard range for some reason, although it should be said one was a risky not full power kick. Costs Chicago the game, despite Mongo hauling in 3 INTs.
CAN SOMEONE STOP KICK RETURNS PLEASE?
Snipers letting us down since, well for a while now.
Game #723 - Cleveland (Cam) vs. Seattle (Derek) -
A classic Tecmo Goal-Line stand from Cleveland here, stopping Warner on the half inch line to prevent a game-winning touchdown with seconds left. If anyone ever asks you who can make a play, the answer is Hanford Dixon. One safety and scary ass kick return later Cleveland won 9-5.
Game #724 - Minnesota (Cam) vs. Indianapolis (Derek) -
Jack Trudeau shows why he doen't get paid any money at all. Down 10-3 and inside the 5, Trudeau crosses the line of scrimmage twice, then puts up an incredible air ball that is easily intercepted by Minnesota. Seeing Jack Trudeau try to throw for a TD is fun.
Waiting for Trudeau's pass to land since 1998.
Game #727 - Los Angeles (Cam) vs. Chicago (Kyle) -
Down by 3 with 2 seconds left, and facing 3rd and goal, LA goes for the glory of a TD, only to have their play selected. But thanks to some homefield clock keeping there is still 1 second on the clock, allowing them to take a FG, send the game to OT and win it there. A very convenient turn of events for LA.
Game #735 - Seattle (Derek) vs. Chicago (Kyle) -
Seattle blocks a 42 yard field goal attempt, the latest of a surprising number of blocks lately. Could this be the new era of long field goals getting inexplicably blocked? Hopefully not.
Game #739 - Cleveland (Kyle) vs. New York (Derek) -
An epicly long game (possibly Tecmo's longest) saw Cleveland's defense play insanely all game, especially in the department of playcalls. After entering OT 0-0 Cleveland had two chances inside the NYG 20. The first resulted in LT blocking a 15 yard field goal attempt, and the 2nd saw Cleveland forgo a chance at a 13 yard field goal attempt, only to see their efforts get stuffed on 4th down. After that it was just a matter of time before New York evaded Cleveland playcalls and get their damn points.
Game #748 - Seattle (Derek) vs. Denver (Cam) -
This was a big Season 7 game for both teams, that saw Denver inexplicably blocks a 28 yard chip shot field goal attempt by Seattle, giving them opportunity to take advantage and win the game 6-3. Blocked kicks have been running about as wild as they can be lately.
Seattle: 'Not Blocked' since Game #748.
Game #751 - San Francisco (Kyle) vs. New York (Derek) -
A Season 7 game with no real implications saw San Fran control the game both offensively and defensively with big drives and lots of playpicks. Montana overthrew a potential TD pass early but made amends late in the game with a huge touchdown pass after launching a deep bomb to Jerry Rice. New York's 2nd lost of the season, something no expert could have predicted at the start of the year.
Game #766 - New York (Cam) vs. San Francisco (Derek) -
The classic Tecmo match-up saw San Fran jump to a pretty early 7-0 lead thanks to a huge Montana-to-Ass connection. New York showed no quit however and used a steady diet of Pass 1 to procure the game-tying touchdown. San Fran mounted a late drive down to the NYG 7 yard line but LT was having none of it. San Fran won the OT toss but couldn't take advantage, allowing New York to drive into field goal range and win the hard fought game 10-7.
Game #777 - Dallas (Derek) vs. Los Angeles (Cam) -
A Season 7 Week 10 game not really notible other then poor defenseless Dallas finishing off a miserable 0-10 season.
Dallas' 0-10 campaign complete since Game #777.
Game #780 - Seattle (Derek) vs. Washington (Kyle) -
The very last regular season of game with major play-off implications, thanks to Denver's earlier win over Chicago. If Seattle won they were headed to the play-offs, if Washington won it was Chicago. Washington obtained strong field position early and went for a extremely close pass, that might have been intercepted. Certainlty a toss up at best. Washington took advantage and scored the games only points, allowing them to win 3-0. Seattle didn't take it lightly and Tecmo went airborne, and while shaken it is still in working order. Seattle certainly has just cause to be outraged.
Game #783 - Los Angeles (Cam) vs. Indianapolis (Derek) -
The "LA is a good team." controversy. Season 7 2nd round play-off match-up.
Game #785 - Tecmo Bowl VII - Los Angeles (Cam) vs. New York (Derek) -
The 7th Tecmo Bowl, saw New York go to LA in what is one of Tecmo's biggest match-up advantages. LA battled hard and forced the game into OT, allowing Tim Brown to scare the Giants with a big return to their 30. But the Giants and Carl Banks don't allow first downs against LA so it was not to be. The Giants finished the job and captured the coveted Tecmo Bowl trophy.
New York Giants the Champs, since always.
Game #786 - Cleveland (Kyle) vs. Seattle (Cam) -
Season 8 kicks-off with Cleveland defeating Seattle 10-3.
The San Fran Media's hopes are high since Season 8.
Game #789 - Indianapolis (Kyle) vs. Denver (Kyle) -
Kyle's 1st career win with powerful Indy in 5 career Indy games. Now only Miami is stopping Kyle from having a W with all 12 Tecmo teams.
Game #799 - Minnesota (Derek) vs. New York (Kyle) -
Another season of Kyle with the New York Giants, another season of Minnesota laying the smack down on them. Only this time New York powers down the field with time running out, scoring a game-tying TD with only 2 seconds left from 2 yards out. Once in OT the Giants finished the job. But they were scared.
Game #800 - Denver (Derek) vs. San Francisco (Cam) -
The 800th game of Tecmo Bowl was a pretty good one. Denver went up with close TD pass but SF battled back with 2 field goals to make it 7-6. With time dwindling SF approaches field goal range but hits a bevy of playcalls forcing them out of range and to turn the ball over. A disappointing loss for San Fran.
Game #803 - Cleveland (Kyle) vs. Miami (Cam) -
Final score 28-17. Twenty-Eight to Seventeen.
Game #812 - Miami (Cam) vs. New York (Kyle) -
Miami puts together some big drives only to see Fuad miss one attempt from 14, and have LT blocked another from 9 out. Despite the sudden new era of Cam field goal blocking, New York manages to get one and win the game 3-0.
The Everyone is Blocking Kicks Era Begins
Game #826 - San Francisco (Cam) vs. Chicago (Derek) -
Chicago shows it means serious business this season with a 24-0 drubbing of the 49ers. Chicago's D-line stepped up to contain the San Fran air attack and the 49ers defense weren't prepared for the Chicago passing game.
Game #839 - New York (Kyle) vs. Miami (Cam) -
A big Season 8 Week 9 game saw the undefeated Giants face a determined Miami team. The Miami D came to play and allowed the offense to put together several big drives on a frustrated Giants defense, getting inside the Giant 5 on 3 seperate occasions. The Giants defense bent but didn't break until late with Miami driving with time running out. A fake blitz was picked up on a shotgun play in a strange turn of events and Marino found his target in the endzone for the major. LT blocked the PAT, giving Miami the 6-3 win and ruining the Giants win streak at 8.
Game #843 - Clevleand (Kyle) vs. Chicago (Derek) -
A good game but who cares since the big news is that the go-to main Player 1 controller stops working properly, thanks to all parties involved in this game. Something needs to be done.
Game #849 - San Francisco (Cam) vs. Indianapolis (Kyle) -
Last game of the Season 8 regular season saw San Fran and Indy square off for the divison title. A back and forth game, with Dickerson playing very strong, it came down to the final drive. A questionable completion allowed San Fran to march down the field and eventually hit Wilson on a deep pass to the end zone. The win gave San Fran the divison title and the 2nd overall seed going into the play-offs.
Game #850 - Chicago (Derek) vs. Cleveland (Kyle) -
The 1st game of the Season 8 play-offs saw Cleveland go into Chicago and play a strong game. Except Bernie Kosar who must have hung out with Dave Kreig before the big game, as Kosar blew several key plays, including stepping out of bounds with 4 receivvers open and throwing a couple of costly interceptions. Cleveland's defense played admirabley but they couldn't dig themselves out of Kosar's hole. Chicago took the 6-3 win.
Dave Kreig pals with Bernie Kosar since Game #850
Game #851 - Indianapolis (Kyle) vs. Denver (Derek) -
A first round Season 8 play-off game with a lot of pre-game trash talk. Denver made the first strike on a risky 4th down play from inside the 5 as Elway found an open man for the 6-0 lead. On the PAT Bickett made a strong effort and a mental error allowed Indy to make the block and keep the score 6-0. Inexcusable error from Denver here. A rejuvinated Indy team stepped up and played strong defense the rest of the way. Indy tied the score late on a 2nd FG forcing the game to OT. Denver won the toss but couldn't get it going. Dickerson stepped his play up and allowed Indy to capture the hard fought 9-6 win.
Game #853 - San Francisco (Cam) vs. Indy (Kyle) -
The East Finals in Season 8. Indy tried a long 45 yard FG attempt early but it was blocked, allowing San Fran to take advantage and get on the board. Later in the game Indy got in position for another long FG attempt and went for it. With the away wind in his face Biasucci came up short and San Fran put the game away with another FG, advancing to the Tecmo Bowl Finals.
Game #854 - Tecmo Bowl VIII - New York (Kyle) vs. San Francisco (Cam) -
The Season 8 Final saw San Fran go into Giant Stadium and play a textbook game. Ronnie Lott mystifying the Giant offense, and Joe Cool doing what he does best...throwing TD passes to Jerry Rice. LT did manage a PAT block on the game's opening TD but the Giants just couldn't get it going against Spider-Man Ronnie Lott, and Man of the People Pete Kugler. Basically a shameful giving up from the Giants. Final score 13-0. And with that San Fran wins their 1st ever championship and think about giving Ronnie Lott an extension on his deal.
San Fran, Tecmo champs since Season 8.
Game #855 - San Fran (Derek) vs. Indianapolis (Cam) ---
Season 9 kicks off with San Fran manhandling a poorly prepared Indy squad.
Game #856 - Chicago (Kyle) vs. New York (Cam) ---
Kyle and Chicago play the game of their lives and really have the Giants baffled all game. The Giants never threatened to score all day and Chicago's offense had LT and company totally off-balance. A throughly remarkable performance. The Giants' dreams of a perfect season shatter in Week 1.
LT doesn't know what to think since Game #856.
Game #861 - Seattle (Kyle) vs. Dallas (Cam) ---
The 100th over-time game in Tecmo history. Dallas won the toss and the game. It marked the 53rd time that the team winning the toss won the game. Cam's 74th OT, Kyle's 38th, Derek has 86.
Game #869 - New York (Cam) vs. Chicago (Kyle) ---
Gentry returns a kick to the Giant 10 giving Chicago a Season 9 sweep of the Giants. A shocking turn of events.
Giants Special Teams: Missing Since Game #869.
Game #873 - Indianapolis (Cam) vs. Miami (Derek) ---
The first game of Tecmo in over 2 months (May 29th to July 30th) so it might as well get legendary status. Indy won this Season 9 contest 6-3 on a last second field goal by Dean Biasucci.
Game #880 - Miami (Derek) vs. Chicago (Kyle) ---
After suffering through a large string of playcalls on offense, enough playcalls for hats to start to get thrown about, Miami mounted a late comeback in impressive fashion, tying the game up at 10-10 to force over-time. Miami won the toss, avoiding Gentry, and got into field goal range to win 13-10. This was a big game for Miami as they desperately needed the win to stay in the Season 9 play-off hunt. It was an impressive performance from a determined Derek.
Game #887 - San Francisco (Cam) vs. Los Angeles (Derek) ---
Well waiting for Season 9 to get finished, it's time for something to fill the gaps. That something is the Tecmo Cup. This was the first game of the thing. San Fran won 6-3 despite a strong defensive effort from LA and Tim Brown putting on a scary kick return at the end of the game, before finally being tackled at the San Fran 40 with no time remaining.
Game #900 - Denver (Kyle) vs. Los Angeles (Cam) ---
Yes, 900 games. Denver beats up on poor LA 13-0.
Game #905 - Miami (Derek) vs. Denver (Kyle) ---
A back and forth season 9 game saw Denver down 9-7 with time running out when John Elway completes a miracle long bomb deep into field goal range with only seconds left. A controversial completion, as Miami swears they had a man back on coverage. Denver kicks the field goal as time expires to win 10-9 and essentially end Miami's slim play-off hopes.
Game #911 - Indianapolis (Derek) vs. Seattle (Cam) ---
A Tecmo Cup game which saw Albert Bentley return his very first kick to the house ever in 144 games played. Now only Phil McConkney of the Giants, and James Pruitt of Miami have yet to take one all the way. Bentley was kind of overdue for this as he's not as bad as some of the other returners and occasionally gets a big return. That doesn't mean it didn't hurt Seattle any less however.
Game #919 - New York (Derek) vs. Seattle (Cam) ---
The heavily favoured Giants took on Seattle in the first round of the play-offs of the first ever Tecmo Cup expecting to cruise into the second round, but Steve Largent and Fredd Young had other ideas. Young led a Seattle defense that came to play, throwing all their tricks at the Giant offense, and had great success early. Phil Simms couldn't get the offense out of Giant territory, and Dave Kreig and Steve Largent were able to take advantage and land a couple of long bomb passes just out of the reach of Carl Banks. Seattle jumped to a 13-0 lead after an ill-advised 4th down attempt by the Giants in Giant territory. Largent caught both TDs, with LT blocking Seattle's first PAT. The Giants made a game of it with a FG before the end of the first half and a rally late, but Young's endzone interception with time winding down iced things and Seattle completed thier stunning upset. Final score: 13-3.
Game #921 - Denver (Derek) vs. Chicago (Cam) ---
Another 1st round Tecmo Cup play-off game saw John Elway do what he does best. This was a close contest, with Denver really playing some strong team defense against a struggling Penguin Kings offense. Denver got on the board first with a field goal, but Mike "The Original Killer" Gentry decided to do some killing and dropped a quick 7 on the Broncos. Elway rallied the troops and got a field goal to respond. Chicago managed to retake the lead late in the game with a field goal for the 10-6 lead. With time running down John Elway took over the game, racing the offense downfield, while Chicago couldn't come up with any answers to stop them. With only seconds to play Elway completed a pass over the middle to Dorsett at about the 10, Mike Singletary had his eye on the clock and allowed Dorsett to advance to the 1-yard line where he had to make the tackle. Everyone looked to the clock: 0:01 remaining. Chicago's bench erupts at the blantent home field clock management, screaming at the officals that time expired but their protests went unanswered. So with 1 second left from the 1-yard line Denver need the major for the win. Denver comes out of the huddle in running formation, flustering a Chicago defense ready for a shotgun passing attack. Elway handed off to Dorsett who managed to out run Richard Dent to the corner onf the endzone for the TD and the win, sending Mile High Stadium into a frenzy.
Game #924 - Denver (Derek) vs. San Francisco (Cam) ---
The Tecmo Cup I Finals. Despite being off a last second touchdown win over Chicago, and a last second field goal win over Seattle in the play-offs of the Tecmo Cup things didn't start well for the Broncos. John Elway stepped out of bounds in the endzone on a shotgun passing play, giving San Francsico a very early 2-0 lead. That was the end of 49ers offense on this day. Denver played a tight defensive game, and with the Mile High fans making a lot of noise Joe Montana never got on his game. Denver's offense played a very solid game controlling the clock, and taking shots when they had to. The Bronco's special teams also had a great game. San Francisco just couldn't compete with the determined Broncos on this day, dropping the game 17-2. Denver captures the Tecmo Cup, their first big win as a team. This win also marks the 400th of Derek's Tecmo Bowl career.
Game #934 - Minnesota (Cam) vs. Dallas (Derek) ---
The start of the 2nd Tecmo Cup, saw these mega-powers square-off. Both sides were rusty, and Minnesota manged to grab a 3-0 lead. Dallas was driving down field late looking for the game-tying field goal, but Joey Browner got a pick on an errant Pass 1 attempt by Danny White.
Game #936 - San Francisco (Cam) vs. New York (Derek) ---
Another Tecmo Cup 2 game, featuring actual mega-powers. A highly defensive battle for the first 3 quarters, with neither team doing much of anything on offense. Late in the 4th the Giants attempted a long field goal (40-41 yards) with time running out but it was blocked! San Fran used the momentum to march downfield, including a deep completetion on Pass 3 to get inside the NYG 10. The Giants defense backed the 49ers up a couple of yards with a playpick, but Werschin had enough leg to get the ball over LT's reach and recorded the game winning field goal as time expired.
Game #955 - Denver (Derek) vs. San Francisco (Cam) ---
Tecmo Cup 2 quarter-finals. Denver jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and held on with tough defense through 3 quarters. In the 4th quarter SF finally got a little something going and then Montana made a bad mistake throwing to a covered receiver on Pass 3, giving Denver the ball in great field position. Denver manged to quickly get into FG range and kicked the FG to go ahead 6-0. After the kickoff was returned to about the 20 there was 59 seconds left and 80 yards to go for Joe Cool and Co. Montana circles the wagons and leads the 49ers all the way down the field with a Pass 2 and 3 heavy attack. With 3 seconds left from the 3 yard line Montana calls for Pass 3. Denver's defense went with Pass 1 coverage. Montana quickly recognizes the defense and puts a head fake on Rulon Jones to clear room for the game winning touchdown pass to Jerry Rice. SF 7, DEN 6. One of the all-time legendary drives in Tecmo history.
Game #959 - New York (Derek) vs. San Francisco (Cam) ---
Tecmo Cup 2 Semi-finals and the longest game ever played. On the opening drive NYG's offense looks strong as BoMo rips a couple of 10 yard runs and the Giants easily make it into field goal territory and make it 3-0. SF answers back quickly on their opening possession with a sustained drvie all the way down to the NYG 8. Wersching makes the tough kick against LT, and it's tied up 3-3. After 2 opening drive scores the defenses really step it up and regulation ends still 3-3.
NYG wins the coin toss and the defensive battle continues, as NYG slowly but surely start winning the field position battle. SF finally puts together a little drive to nullify that. The teams trade at least 7-8 punts, as SF's defense really starts playing out of it's mind with playpicks and opposite side runs. Phil Simms finally makes a mistake throwing an INT in Giant territory. SF moves it to the NYG 5 and plays it weak-tight from there with a slew of Run 1's moving to the NYG 3. Wersching comes out for the game winning field goal attempt...and chokes! LT applied the pressure and Ray didn't get enough on it.
Momentum seems to be on NYG's side but the Ronnie Lott led 49er defense still won't allow Phil Simms to get ANYTHING going and SF gets the ball back. Joe Montana puts together yet another long drive getting to the NYG 10 or so yard line. Montana calls Pass 3 and catches the NYG without coverage on Jerry Rice. Marshall decides to gamble and come in for the sack attempt while Montana is shaking the LE. Montana quickly sees it and throw the game winning TD pass to Jerry Rice in the corner of the endzone. SF 10, NYG 3. The OT lasted at least 20 minutes. SF moves onto the finals to play Chicago and many think they are a Team Of Destiny after two huge wins over Denver and New York.
