Played on January 3, 1987 at Cleveland Municipal Stadium, this thrilling AFC Divisional playoff game between the Browns and Jets would go two overtimes and last more than four hours. A spectacular trick play accounted for the game’s first touchdown, a 42-yard catch by Jets receiver Wesley Walker. The teams alternated leads over the first three quarters, but in the fourth, the Jets built a 20-10 advantage in the final minutes after a 25-yard rushing touchdown by Freeman McNeil. Deep in their own territory, the Browns looked finished on their next possession, but a late-hit penalty breathed new life into the Cleveland offense – and quarterback Bernie Kosar drove them down the field for a touchdown. A 22-yard field goal by the Browns’ Mark Moseley sent the game into overtime. After missing a 23-yard field goal in the extra period, Moseley made one from 27 yards in the second overtime as the Browns advanced to the AFC title game, 23-20. Kosar threw for 489 yards, a playoff record, in a game that was the third longest in NFL history.
