So How high does last night's game go on the all time top 10?

I'm thinking it's in the top 6 or 7 for sure.

Only if you are considering the last 20 years.

where would you put that game on the list?

Heck you could make the case that the Bucs/Rams game- if the Bucs had won- would probably go on that top 10 list as well.

There are Cowboys/49ers/Packers games from the 90's that I always felt were top tier. Same could be said for Steelers/Raiders games from the 70's. It is just hard for me to rank games highly when I don't see any commitment to defense.

Don't get me wrong, it was entertaining, just not high ranking.

all those teams from the 90's when they played- had exactly 1 close game. 49ers/Packers in 1998. You have a 10+ point game, and you aren't high ranking.

Raiders/Steelers had 1 close game- 16-10.

and yeah, I'm talking about playoff games. No regular season game ever is in the top 10.

The Immaculate Reception Game between the Raiders and Steelers was the final play of the game. Here are six games that I could include:

12/23/72 Oakland Raiders-Pittsburgh Steelers Immaculate Reception
12/21/74 Miami Dolphins-Oakland Raiders Sea of Hands
12/28/75 Dallas Cowboys-Minnesota Vikings Hail Mary Pass
12/24/77 Oakland Raiders-Baltimore Colts Ghost to the Post
01/04/81 Oakland Raiders-Cleveland Browns Red Right 88
01/19/02 Oakland Raiders-New England Patriots Tuck Rule Game

The Bill-Chiefs game is top ten, but it is so subjective. There have been so many great playoff games. The Catch was the No.1 game to me, followed by the Sea of Hands game and the Epic in Miami.
