This is the game many have considered the greatest football game ever. San Diego was a harbinger of the salary cap days. Their paltry defense gave as much as their ""Air Coryell"" offense got. Now, on January 2, 1982, on a humid night in Miami, the Chargers would have to call on all their strengths if they were to beat the Dolphins. Both teams were up to any challenge the other gave, culminating in Rolf Benirschke's field goal late in overtime. The Chargers' 41-38 win was a microcosm of their 1981 season.
