January 17, 1999 AFC Championship
Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets
It was a chilly and windy day in Denver, and all of us Bronco fans had that feeling that it was the last time we would see John Elway play a football game in Mile High Stadium. The Jets went up 10-0 in the first quarter, and I've never seen a crowd so confident that Denver would come back. They did as the Broncos went on to win 23-10. And then it happened, John hoisted the AFC trophy and said to the crowd, "I love you!". And 77,000 fans in unison started to chant "El-Way, El-Way, El-Way!" Then we knew his career would only be one more game as he took his victory lap around the stadium. 30 minutes later, John left the Mile High field for his last time, and a tribute was played on the big screen. There was not a dry eye in the house. We all hugged and cried and pleaded, "One more year, One more year!" The crowd didn't leave for over an hour, and I'm sure anybody who was there that day would consider that game the Best NFL Game they have ever been to.

I'd say I have two. I'd say the best game itself was the Jets @ Steelers 2nd round playoff game in January 2005. The Jets were coming in off an OT win over the Chargers and the Steelers were heavy favorites. The game was played in about a -10 wind chill, which means we had to keep the jager close at hand throughout the tailgate. The game was up and down and back and forth but thanks to 2 Doug Brien missed FG's, the Steelers pulled it out, only to get whacked by the eventual SB Champion Pats the following week...
Most memorable however would be Steelers at Bengals in September 2004. A hard fought 17-10 victory by the Steelers over the Bengals who were just turning the corner. Our seats were 4th row, right on the goal line, next to the Steelers entrance to the field. After the game Hines Ward walked right up to me and handed me his game used gloves. Definitely something I'll remember forever.
Then again, my father has been to 3 Super Bowls AND the Immaculate Reception game...So I still have some catching up to do :-)

I attended the Bears/ 49ers game at Wrigley Field in 1961 when 49er coach Red Hickey had devised the 3 QB spread offense and was beating everyone. Bears' coach George Halas came up with a great Defense and shut out the Niners. Hickey soon scrubbed the 3 QB thing. The 3 QBs were George Mira, Bobby Waters and Y.A. Tittle.

The best game I have ever been to was the Titans and Giants game this past season. The Giants had the game on lockdown with 10 minutes left, and Vince Young came alive. The Titans scored three touchdowns to tie and kicked the fieldgoal to win. Was amazing, but hurt since I am a Giants fan.

The infamous "Leon Lett" game Cowboys vs. Dolphins - Thanksgiving Day 1993. The only game it ever snowed in Dallas.
I also went to the game Robin Ventura charged the mound against Nolan Ryan, which was the same year, about 3-4 months earlier.

I haven't been to many, but the best was Miami at Cleveland on a COLD Monday Night in November of 1985. Kosar's rookie season and had a nice game to squish the fish.

This past year when the 49ers played the Raiders. So many Raider fans came thinking they were hot s*it.... it was so sweet walking out of the stadium after that game. I am not really a 49ers fan (my husband is), but I definitely HATE the Raiders!!

Monday night in Oakland. Seeing Brett Favre light up the the Raiders the day after his dad died. Being a life long Packer fan, it'll be a historic game for the franchise. I was glad I saw it in person.
