  Brunell is easily one of the most under rated qb's to ever play the game.

  The NFL network is killing it with these classic games.

  Part of a stretch from 1996-1999 where the Jaguars had a winning record every year and reached the AFC championship Game twice.

  I remember begging my mother to take me down to the stadium to meet the team after they came back from winning this game. It was a no, but she did let me stay up late to watch the broadcast of their return. They actually opened the stadium to fans since it was so many.

  I remember watching this as a kid in Denver, and remember the shock and disappointment on all of my friend's faces. Jaguars had all heart and destroyed the 13-3 Broncos who were 14 point favorites. Jacksonville was legit in their early history and this was a fun game to re-watch, thanks NFL for posting!

  The single most underrated upset in the history of pro football. Just slightly ahead of Minnesota's out of nowhere beatdown on the '87 49ers. An expansion team in its second season of existence goes in to Mile High and beats the Elway/Davis team that would win back to back Super Bowls and had the best record in football (tied with Green Bay). No one on Earth saw this coming, not even Jags fans who were damn happy to still be playing after upsetting the battle tested, but aging Bills in Buffalo the week before. To fall behind 12-0 and then basically undress Denver the way they did, in many ways, this is Tom Coughlin's best work.

  The opposition the Jaguars faced the first 3 rounds that year was overwhelming. First round they had a veteran Bills team that, up to that point, had never lost a home playoff game. Denver, who never lost at home that season prior to the playoff game. Then the Patriots, who had arguably one of the best coaching staffs of that era with Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick. Just look at some of the talent they had to face as well. Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Bruce Smith, Bryce Paup, Chris Spielman, John Elway, Terrell Davis, Shannon Sharpe, Steve Atwater, Drew Bledsoe, Curtis Martin, Ben Coates, Chris Slade, Willie Mcginest. Not to mention the head coaches with Marv Levy, Mike Shannahan and Bill Parcells.

  I will add this John Elway said himself that this playoff loss was the most devastating loss of his career

  Tom Coughlin coached three of the biggest playoff upsets of all time. First this game, then the Giants over the undefeated Patriots and then the Giants over the 15-1 Packers.

  The story of this game is that Denver&apos;s defensive line was <b>dominated</b> by Jacksonville&apos;s offensive line.
