I'm not sure of the best game, but the ones I remember, mostly from radio/tv, are... (maybe too much tailgating to choose from actual ones, I can remember some worsts, too, HS,Big Game, Niners/Bills 80, all pouring rain).
Niner/Saints. late '80; down by about 3 TDs, they bring in their 2nd string QB, guy named Joe, for experience. Wins it in OT, starting his era.
Niners/Cowboys, twice in '81; the first, mid season, caught D by surprize, blew 'em out big time. I loved it when they got hot and got about 24 pts in 15 minutes; what a machine.
Pack/Cowboy ice bowl.
KC/?Vikes, SB4, mostly from seeing it endless times on NFL highlight films; a wired Stramm was wired..."21 toss power trap, yahoo, way to go, boys, 21 toss power trap, I told ya...".
Giants/Colts championship, pre super bowl, Ameche going into the end zone.
SB 16, our first, but I really remember the goal line stand, esp. Bunz' open field tackle on what should have been a TD; my man Hacksaw led the D. I don't remember much of the second, vs Miami; we didn't get tickets, so we paaaaartied at the usual place a few blocks from Stanferd Stadium; set off fireworks in the street, after, for all the folks leaving, til a cop stopped it.
