Their opponent they were hosting shouldn’t even have been there. They needed a miracle to make it out of the wild card round, needed a dominant defensive performance to make it out of the divisional, and didn’t stand a snow balls chance in hell beating the jaguars in the afc championship game despite beating them already that year. Their opponent, the Tennessee Titans!

Except the Jags were 14-2 and you guys were 13-3 (4 seed) and already beat them twice, the second time 41-14 just a month earlier.
And Marino was 38 and retired after that season.
So really nothing like 99.
