AFC Divisional Playoff: "Marathon by the Lake"

Played on January 3, 1987 at Cleveland Municipal Stadium, this thrilling AFC Divisional playoff game between the Browns and Jets would go two overtimes and last more than four hours. A spectacular trick play accounted for the game’s first touchdown, a 42-yard catch by Jets receiver Wesley Walker. The teams alternated leads over the first three quarters, but in the fourth, the Jets built a 20-10 advantage in the final minutes after a 25-yard rushing touchdown by Freeman McNeil. Deep in their own territory, the Browns looked finished on their next possession, but a late-hit penalty breathed new life into the Cleveland offense – and quarterback Bernie Kosar drove them down the field for a touchdown. A 22-yard field goal by the Browns’ Mark Moseley sent the game into overtime. After missing a 23-yard field goal in the extra period, Moseley made one from 27 yards in the second overtime as the Browns advanced to the AFC title game, 23-20. Kosar threw for 489 yards, a playoff record, in a game that was the third longest in NFL history. ― NFL 100
