#1- November 17th, 1985

If you needed any indication on Mile High Magic, this game does it for you right here. In perhaps one of the most craziest ways to win a game, this one does it for you.

But first, I will tell you how it got to that point. It was quite entertaining with this game going back and forth. The Chargers started off the scoring with a 98 yard kickoff return to start the game. From there it went back and forth.

Both teams would be tied at 24 at the end of regulation and would have to settle this meeting in overtime.

In overtime, the Chargers drove down the field and attempted a 40 yard field goal. The Broncos would block the kick and gain possession. But wait, the Broncos called a timeout before the ball was snapped.

So, the Chargers would get a second attempt to kick the game winning field goal. However, that attempt was blocked as well and recovered by Louis Wright. Then the miracle would begin as he recovered the blocked kick all the way for a touchdown!

The Broncos would win the game on a walk-off blocked kick for a touchdown by the score of 30-24.
