They were the weakest of any of the playoff teams. They did t match up. The raiders or Miami would be been a better game. The raiders would be been the Best game. The raiders would be been a War. A nuclear  in three months the bears will Start training for a repeal performance. No team has repeated since the steel. Ers won the 1980 super bowl.
