Super Bowl rematch Prior title bout youd like to see again in February

When this season's AFC and NFC champions face off for the Lombardi Trophy in Santa Clara next February, it will be impo sible not to think of the 49 s that have come before -- especially if the participants have previously done battle on football's ultimate stage.As we look ahead to a season celebrating the storied history of the era, which rematch would you most like to see in the 50th installment of this grand game? vs. : It would be easy to pick Pittsburgh vs. Dallas -- because they've played each other the most in this contest Jonathan Garvin Jersey -- but I'd love to see a rematch of . That game was an instant cla sic as soon as it ended. You had one of the greatest quarterbacks in history battling one of the best defenses ever. You had one the greatest coaches in history taking on a man who had been dumped by the team he was competing against. You also had occurring on Seattle's last drive, largely because the made the most controversial offensive play call in history. Give me more of all that, especially after what we just went through with Deflategate. vs. : Only one team has won more s than the -- and I'd like to see if Earl Mitchell Jersey Dallas could pull even with Pittsburgh by beating the for a sixth Lombardi Trophy next February. Pittsburgh, of course, also holds the series advantage over the , 2-1, and the ' second win in that matchup, , sticks out in my memory. The game was -- but the drama started well before kickoff. I remember our bus driver ignoring the attempts of one of our players, Larry Brinson, who was from Miami, to warn him that we were going the wrong way -- and getting us stuck on a dead-end street. We had to turn all the buses around, and we got to the Orange Bowl about 45 minutes late; I remember fans rocking the bus as we pulled in. The teams were evenly matched, as we'd been in , with two very good quarterbacks in Roger Staubach and Terry Bradshaw. I Tonka Hemingway Jersey remember receiver Lynn Swann making a great catch, and I remember Franco Harris running for a touchdown on a draw when an official got in the way of Charlie Waters trying to make a tackle. The play before that Harris touchdown, we thought we'd stopped the with a sack of Bradshaw, but the play didn't end up counting, as a delay-of-game penalty had been called before the snap got off. The , of course, got a taste of revenge in , but they're still behind Pittsburgh all time. Looking forward, I don't think it's out of the question that they could win their second against the in 50. Both teams are good enough to make it that far, and it would be a good game. vs. : For one simple reason ... I want to see fans have their moment. Buffalo's ungodly string of four straight lo ses began here, , with a crushing last-second defeat at the hands of Big Blue. Scott Norwood's mi sed 47-yard field goal turned "Wide Right" into a thing that would haunt Western New York for years to come Bob Lacey Jersey . Let's go back to the source of the pain, reverse it and give this year's intriguing/imperfect squad a Lombardi. A quarter century after Jeff Hostetler guided the to glory, Buffalo pa ser would make for just as improbable a hero. I'm not sure I can stomach seven days of Rex Ryan during week -- or Jr., for that matter -- but the coach would like nothing more than to stick it to the Big Apple. Let's make it happen. vs. : Yes, I know this is quite a long shot. Full disclosure: I was the a sistant general manager of the at the time of , so I'm biased about this game. We went 14-2 during the 1983 regular season, beating the in Week 5. We were defending champions and had set a record for points scored that season. Of course, the final score was not close in that : . The first half, when the jumped out to Noah Barker Jersey a 21-3 lead, was where we lost the game. Fourteen of those points came on a blocked punt and the infamous "Rocket Screen" that turned into . Take away those two touchdowns and we would have been down only 7-3. We scored on our first po se sion of the second half. That would have put us in the lead and perhaps made it a different game.
