2000 Indianapolis Colts at Miami Dolphins AFC Wild Card Playoff

Facts

[@southamcaballero]

Had to watch this after the KC loss (26-7), to keep myself from being depressed

[@heydudedolfan13]

I pile on, I watched the 1992 AFC championship game and the 1994 Divisional playoff game vs San Diego

[@JerseyNYC83]

This was one of the best wild card saturdays in my opinion. Living in NY and snowed in-we watched Lamar Smith’s memorable performance and it was followed up with the Saints first playoff win in franchise history when they beat the Rams. ABC’s 2000 season on MNF and the wild card games were the best

[@andrewjones2133]

I’m here because I believe Miami will finally win a playoff game this season. GO DOLPHINS 🐬

[@programmingisreal]

This is when Miami had played with some Moxie.

[@ericshackelford872]

Last playoff win by Miami..it's 2024 now, which is pathetic..Fiedler was horrendous, Lamar Smith was a freaking beast that game

[@spinner9057]

Peyton Manning losing to Jay Fiedler in a playoff game??? There's a sentence for you.

[@AmirKhan-yv8jm]

And to Mark Sanchez! 😂

[@jtc9098]

Mike Vanderjact was a super accurate kicker, but couldn’t make a clutch field goal to save his life.

Jim Mora never won a playoff game. Ironically, his former team would finally get its first ever playoff win just a few hours later

[@JThom-yh3ef]

Playoffs? Don’t talk about playoffs!!! Playoffs?

[@roguegust8832]

If Dan Marino had this team in...idk....1994? 1995? He may have won a Super Bowl.

[@Whompy420]

That was the problem when we had Marino, always missing something whether the defense was bad or no Run game later on.

[@chrisuncleahmad789]

This was the final time Wild Card Saturday (and the playoffs) kicked off with a 12:00 start

[@JerseyNYC83]

yep. The next season the league pushed the start times back to 4:30 and 8pm respectively

[@attackalpaca9410]

Mike Vanderjagt's kicking woes in this game were put on the back burner after Al Del Greco's far worse kicking woes the next week for Tennessee against Baltimore.

[@jaredmenard7645]

it was tipped. Olindo Mare was a great kicker that year and missed a much easier one at the half for Miami, so they win anyhow

[@Dud512]

How has Jim Mora Sr never won a playoff game? That feels bad

[@fiesta061000]

no..The Colts lost close Playoff games in 1999 and 2000..

[@P0RKINS2]

Colts defense in their 6 playoff wins in 2006 & 2009: - 0.97 Points per Drive Allowed 2002 Tampa Bay Bucs Defense - 0.90 Points per Drive Allowed (1st) Colts defense in their other 13 playoff games in the Manning era: - 2.60 Points per Drive Allowed 2008 Detroit Lions defense - 2.61 Points per Drive Allowed (32nd) I wonder why Peyton Manning only went to 2 Super Bowls w/ the Colts. 🧐

[@SkolneyVikings]

And the fish haven't won a playoff game since.

[@Eli-ss9gj]

They’ve only made the playoffs 3 times in the 20 years since, and have gotten blown out in every appearance, 2 of them by my Ravens.

[@mikewazowski350]

I was there for this game, but we had nosebleed seats surrounded by blue and white Colt fans. They were giving us a hard time and we just sort of sat quietly. From our seats, we saw Lamar Smith disappear in to a sea of blue and white and the Colts fans around us cheered as they thought he was down. When suddenly he broke free and made the touchdown. We walked out saying nothing to those Colt fans just keeping quiet but with shit eating grins on our faces all the way back to Orlando.

I mean how fresh did the Raiders need to be? They blew out the Dolphins and were seen to be a nice challenge to that Ravens defense at home, especially with their league leading running game, but they eventually got dominated.
