From what I understand, it was only broadcast in Miami and some parts of Florida. It was around the time when VCR's were becoming a little more common in most houses. Surely, somebody has a copy of it somewhere! I have been looking for a copy of it for probably 20 years. I even joined some Dolphins fan group, just to see if anyone had a copy. Found a guy that had nearly every Dolphins game from the 80's, 90's and early 2000's...but no luck on that game. It wasn't sold out in time to be broadcast in WNY? And being that is was against the Rams, the game was surely broadcast in the LA area.
Chandler#81 Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Remember the game vividly. Odd to have Home finale with 2 games to play. We lost at NE, setting up a Must Win at SF with an up & coming young QB named Montana. His last second Hail Mary was -wait for it... KNOCKED DOWN!

Then choose "resize as a percentage" which should be the default option chosen. Then pick a percentage, like 50, or 70 or whatever seems best. Make sure you're resizing horizontal and vertical by the same percentage. (this should also be the default behavior). Once you've resized it save it as a .gif .

I think it sold out, but not in time to lift the local broadcast blackout. As I am sure you recall, back in those days, a Sunday game had to be sold out by Thursday in order to broadcast in the home city. Different times! 1

Remember the play well...told my mother that if 49ers get the touchdown, I was throwing myself into the Christmas tree. Alas, the holiday was saved. 1
