Both teams will be battling for 1st place in the AFC east division. Richard Todd of the Jets, comes into this game with a fracture rib. Low scoring but intense divisional game that comes down to the final seconds. Dick Enberg & Bob Trumpy with the call for NBC Sports.

I remember watching this game with my dad as a 10 year old. The excitement we had at the end of the game was priceless. Rest in peace dad. Love you and miss you. Go Jets!

I miss this era of football. The 70's and early 80's. So many great memories.

I was there with my dad in the upper deck. Greatest game that him and I attended. A memory that I will never forget.

There was nothing like a cold gray damp dreary windy day watching a football game at Shea Stadium.

Anyone else watching here in July of 2020 and reliving these all time classics during this damn zombie apocalypse we are going thru? As a long time Jet fan, this was the game when Richard Todd finally lived up to all the hype. He was a true warrior in this game battling thru a broken rib and bum leg and still leading the Jets to the win in final seconds.
Once again the Dolphins more than any other rivalry the Jets have had over the years have had the most memorable games....win or lose. This game was just another example.

Very underrated performances here in the annals of NFL history. Richard Todd played this game w broken ribs & couldn’t even call out most of the plays cause it hurt so much. Gutsy gutsy effort.

One of the best jet games i have seen at shea. Richard Todd was playing with fractured ribs in front of 60 thousand loyal jet fans. Frank Sinatra was singing "NEW YORK , NEW YORK" over the pa system after Todd threw a td pass in the final minute as Shea Stadium rocked . IT was totaly electric. i actualy felt the place shaking. JETS AT SHEA THERE WAS NOTHING BETTER !!

I still remember this game like it was yesterday. The Cowboys are my favorite team, but the Jets have always been close to my heart, and when they won this game, I was celebrating as much as any Cowboy win. This win capped an amazing 4 year run they had against Miami (7-0-1). And the Dolphins were division champions 2 of those 4 years (79 and 81).
Unfortunately, the Dolphins more than made up for those 4 years of futility by going 3-0 against the Jets in 1982…..stomping them at Shea on opening day, 45-28, winning on a game winning FG in Miami, 20-19, then winning the AFC Championship 14-0. But that 1981 team was fun to watch!!

Listen to that Shea crowd at 2:08:41. Enberg's 'OH!!' and an explosion of jubilation! I remember watching that game with my Dad at nine years old in our Bronx apt, and jumping up and down while my Dad was whistling up a storm! This is great to watch again...

Thank you for posting this. I was at this game with my late Dad...11 years old and a Dolphins fan. Which was weird because we had season tickets to the Jets since 1964 and I went to almost every Jets home game with my Dad from the time I was 7 until I got my first job and started working on Sundays. My family moved from Long Island to northwest NJ in 1968 but my Dad kept the season tickets and took my oldest brother, then the middle brother...then me when it was my turn. The trek out to Shea and back was an all-day affair. I often think back now to all of those years and all of those Sundays my father made that trip with my brothers and me. Such great childhood memories... but not so much on this day when Barkum caught that pass...lol

Laying around this rainy Saturday morning, watching this game takes me back to the glory days of the Jets at Shea.
No Jet game after 1983 has come close to the atmosphere naturally created in Queens.
16-15.
Jets win.
Football like it oughta be.
