Would love if New England went back to these uniforms. Was so disappointed with their new uniforms this past year.

I wish we still had those Pat Patriot uniforms.

R.I.P. Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen.

What a crazy run the '85 Pats had, especially when they upset the dolphins in the AFC title game. Then they were brought back down to earth by the great '85 bears. Even made "the super bowl shuffle" a few months prior to actually winning the super bowl lol

0:59 New England version of the catch

1986 is the year that 3 Boston teams made it to the championship games patriots, celtics and red sox. Celtics are the only Boston team that won while the pats and red sox got beat

Fun fact. At 5:15, you see a patriots running back named Mosi Tatupu make a big run. Tatupu is the father of Lofa Tatupu who was a star linebacker for the Seahawks from 2005 to 2010.

How’d the Raiders ever lose this game? Oh yeah: Marc Wilson and fumbles.

And then a Week Later we ended up putting a Stop To Dan Marinos 2nd Superbowl Appearance with a 31-14 Victory In The AFC Championship Game

Tom Flores' last postseason game as Raiders' head coach. He won two of the team's three Super Bowls, one in Oakland (1980) and one in LA (1983).

NBC had all the best themes

My mom and her family are from Southern Massachusetts. They're all diehard Boston/NE fans (Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins, Celtics, Boston College). I remember my uncle telling me how great this 85 season was for fans of a team that had floundered for most of it's history. This win was cathartic for them, the win in the AFC Championship was even more so because it was against the Dolphins. He also told me how crushing the clobbering in the Super Bowl they got from the Bears was.

6:20 i forgot barefoot kicking was a thing

Big upset ... the 85 Raiders team was the last great Raider team until 2000-2002.

This was a huge win for the Patriots, the Raiders had tortured them in the years before this, including stealing Jim Plunkett from NE and winning a Super Bowl with him in LA. The black hole was at the time the most intimidating road game in the league at the time (think of raiders fans now, except that the team is really good and has won a bunch of Super Bowls and moved to LA). And then the Pats had maybe an even bigger upset the next week as they beat Dan Marino and Miami (the only team to beat the 85 Bears) to deny America a potential classic Super Bowl matchup. Instead the Pats got a token super bowl appearance and the bears got to drag them around (literally - see the vid of Craig James’ fumble) the field for 3 hours and make everyone immediately declare them the greatest defense ever.

Heh nice, If Milwaukee had won I suppose you guys would've put up the Packers/Patriots SB.

Love the Pats unis….

Such a beautiful uniform matchup!

Nice..love the concept.

These Pats uniforms with the red pants are fab, I prefer the Brady era ones overall but they should update these in a few years as they won't be able to do it now that they just released some new uniforms recently.

The amount of turnovers and fumbles in this game is tremendous.

00:57 Nice athletic throw on the move by Tony Eason.

Nice game ! Thanks for sharing.

The Raiders were great in the early ‘80’s, but I doubt they would have done much better against the 85 Bears.

Marcus ran so beautifully!!

Nfl should let the Patriots wear these throwbacks for the 100th season. I know they have the helmet rule but will 1 or 2 games a year with a different helmet really make a difference?

Raiders really pissed away a great season here. So careless in this game. Would have set up a great game with Miami and either of those teams playing Chicago would have been epic. Patriots were weak.

Craig James, who actually had 104 yards on 23 carries this day, was the only running back to have 100 yards against that Raiders defense.

hey its been a while since ive been able to comment because my life has been more busy but i still support your hard work

That 15 yard personal foul on Mickey Marvin on that 4 down completion to Marcus Allen on the Raiders final desprate game tying was a backbreaking momentum changing call. One thing I remembered what people were saying about the Raiders back in the day even though the results showed on the field with wins and SB titles, they were at times an "undiciplined" team.

The thing was the Patriots capitalized on turnovers as you saw in the playoff run. When the Patriots couldn't do that against the Bears which only led to 3 point by Payton's fumble, they were dead in the water.

The Patriots kicker didn't have a shoe on that's classic

Craig James only had one huge year in the NFL, but he looked really smooth as a runner. Really knew how to cutback well. Feel like he'd be able to translate to today's NFL nicely.

You should upload more old pats games like this like the 85 wildcard game against the jets.

Now THIS game was fun to watch. Looks like somebody dipped the football in French fry oil for most of the game. It's adorable! Also, nice to see a Patriots-Raiders playoff game that's not the Tuck Rule.

Damm was the football dipped in oil before being used?

This was sweet revenge for the playoff loss in the 70s

Marcus Allen was smooth runner.

Football is really same dope seeing the talent back than

Love it!!!

The New World Series of Football is now Patriots vs Rams in the Super Bowl. lol

1985 saw the magic Johnson led los Angeles Lakers avenge last year's NBA world Championship series verses the defeanding champion Boston Celtics with Larry Bird dealing with an injured elbow in the much anticipated rematch

I attended this game and the Rams game the day before I was in football heaven.

Holy crap did they slather the ball with shedds spread in between each play

to honor baseball's fall classic

A nice cold Michelob sounds good after watching this

The game that ended the Raiders 22 year dynasty. For a franchise that prides itself on being historically great, their real run was from 1963 to 1985. This loss, my first playoff game watching my team, would come to symbolize what I as a 39 year old would actually see in the Raiders in my 33 years and counting as a fan...lots of missed opportunities, self inflicted wounds, and disappointment. And FUCK Marc Wilson.

Can you post the AFC championship of the same year?

Patriots should bring back permanently these awesome uniforms and pat the patriot

Shocked you didn’t do the tuck rule game And the pats and raiders have a bit of a history in the divisional round

The Pats really ruined it for football fans. A Raiders or dolphins Super Bowl matchup versus the Bears would’ve been fun to watch. Pats knocked them both off.

Unfortunately they didn't show Matt Millen punching Patriots general manager

Remember like yesterday about Marc Wilson…😂😂

My raiders never had any real chance thru those Marc Wilson years. I'm sure he's a good guy, not trying to defame him, but he just never looked like he wanted to be out there. Pats fans got a small taste of him a few years later. Edit: their 382 fumbles in this game didn't help either.

At 2:20 is Marc Wilson throwing to someone running track ?

Great upset. 1985 no team was going to beat Chicago.

Where’s the Matt Millen punch after the game??

LETS GO PATS!!

1985 was the Patriots last playoff appearance until 1996 right?

It's too bad they don't show the fight after the game between Patriots owner Patrick Sullivan and Matt Millen. Classic

Why did they change unis?

Tippett the Goat

Watching this because I wanted to see what got the '85 Patriots to Super Bowl 20. Like one of the Bears said that year, "whatever got the Patriots to the Superbowl we didn't see it that day." Hard to believe this was the same team that took a pounding by the Bears.

6:23 Franklin the kicker had only one shoe on

We almost had a raiders vs dolphins AFC championship

I would have enjoyed a Raiders-Bears SB that year. Or Dolphins, anything other than the Patriots.

Only problem is in 1971 the Pats changed their name from Boston to New England Patriots. Get your facts straight.

Did everyone smear butter on their arms before the game? Holy shit

Eason was so good, yet only the 4th best QB in his 4th best QB in his class ( Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, and John Elway )

Arguably the best Patriots team before the belicheck era...three straight road wins shut down Ken Obrien and Dan Marino offense and amazing how many turnovers the cause in those three wins and few points they allowed

Damn that Recover at the end cost us the game. Smh #RaiderNation

I think the raiders might have made it to the super bowl had it not been the patriots they played. For some reason the Raiders had issues with the patriots, like the 76 patriots being the only team to beat them.

Kicking it without shoes?!

I wish they still call it the Boston Patriots

This is where Matt Millen punched out Pats GM Pat Sullivan

That playoff game in Foxborough was rigged worse than the 2002 Western Conference Finals! It's called the Fuck Rule for a reason!

Is this game where Matt Millen punched patriots owner???

How come Jim Plunkett wasn't starting?

1/6/85

Birmingham AL iron football team application pool 2019

Why wasnt Plunkett in the game?

Fun Drinking Game, Down a shot everytime the ball is turned over.

Walker & Wilson killed the Raiders that day

Marc Wilson...

1984-‘86 Raiders - best possible result if your team has the league’s worst quarterback being forced to start. Nobody - that bad - accomplished more than the mid-‘80s Raiders. It’s not even close.

This might be the sloppiest playoff game I have ever seen. Both teams played like they had their hands on the stove all game.

Notice the barefoot kicker

This game did not matter, nobody was going to beat the Bears.

Raiders gifted that one. Yikes 😬

Priest Homes highlights?

What an embarrassing loss. Sloppy special teams cost them 14 points and the win. No doubt who was the better team that day. Can’t make those mistakes in the playoffs.

I think this is the last time the patriots played in los Angeles

I'm a massive Pats fan. It's a shame we got humiliated by the bears in the 85 SB. That was supposed to be Marino's year to win. They would have beat the Bears that year. Marino never could win the big games.

First

marc wilson was so frickin awful but it wouldnt have mattered if the raiders had john elway at qb. nobody was beating the bears that year.

imma be first on every video now, you guys watch

Payback for 1976.

The most ineffective combination of Raiders WRs (dokie Williams and Jessie Hester) in their history catching passes from one of the most inept QBs (Marc Wilson). Wilson had all the tools, but is confidence was shaken at some point in his career. Then again, Al Davis loved the deep ball, but was NEVER a good evaluator of quarterbacks. Lamonica, Blanda, Gannon, Plunkett, and Jason Campbell were all reclamation projects that thrived after being backups on the roster. Stabler, Al's only good draft pick at QB, was assigned to the Taxi-squad for three seasons before becoming third string and eventually the starter. Al's draft history at this position has been horrible: Larry Lawrence, David Humm, Mike Rae, Rusty Hilger, Bill Joe Hobert, Marques Tuiasosopo, JaMarcus, Andrew Walter, Marc Wilson.Terrelle Pryor, Steve Beurelien, Donald Hollas, Matt McGloin. And the free agent pick-ups... nothing but a constant quest for the next Darryl Lamonica: Duante Culpepper, Jay Schroeder, Jeff George, Kerry Collins, Rick Mirer, Aaron Brooks, Jeff Hostetler, Josh McCown, Bruce Gradkowski, Kyle Bowler, a broken Carson Palmer, Wade Wilson, Exemption given to Tom Flores, Todd Marinovich, Vince Evans. And Dan Pastorini, who if not for a broken leg in Game 4 and later a car accident the night before the AFC Wild Card game, would be the Raiders starting QB and Plunkett never leads this team to the Super Bowl in 1980, and perhaps 1983. Al didn't believe in Plunkett could lead the team until the 1980 SB. Marc Wilson's 3 INTs in this game were par for the course.

😆, I get a big kick on these 'Southies' (NE fans) with their comments and comparisons. I guess they want another Patrick Sullivan son want another 'Bitch Slap' again. You guys overwatched 'The Departed' waaaaay to many times. R-A-I-D-E-R-S!❤ You guys are back to your Grogan era days again on this 2023 season.

So many fumbles lol
