Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants; Green Bay Packers at New York Jets, 1981

For the first time, both New York NFL teams make the playoffs on the same day. The Giants edge out Dallas in overtime of a 13-10 defensive struggle on Dec. 19, promising the first winning season for any Giants Stadium team. Then on Dec. 20, the Jets stomp Green Bay 28-3 in Shea Stadium. That Jet game ended more than a decade of truly terrible football in the Big Apple. Both the Jets and Giants launched into the NFL playoffs as wild cards.
