The three division winners were seeded 1 through 3 based on their overall won-lost-tied record, and the wild card teams were seeded 4 through 6. The NFL did not use a fixed bracket playoff system, and there were no restrictions regarding teams from the same division matching up in any round.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Participants
In the first round, dubbed the wild-card playoffs or wild-card weekend, the third-seeded division winner hosted the sixth seed wild card, and the fourth seed hosted the fifth. The 1 and 2 seeds from each conference then received a bye in the first round. In the second round, the divisional playoffs, the number 1 seed hosted the worst surviving seed from the first round (seed 4, 5 or 6), while the number 2 seed played the other team (seed 3, 4 or 5).

1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 10, Los Angeles Raiders 6
Chiefs quarterback Steve DeBerg completed a play-action 11-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Fred Jones in the second quarter, which was the difference in Kansas City's narrow 10–6 win over long-time rival Los Angeles. Kansas City running back Barry Word was arguably the Chiefs' most effective offensive weapon, rushing for 133 yards. This was Kansas City's first postseason win since Super Bowl IV in the 1969 season. The Raiders started rookie quarterback Todd Marinovich over veteran Jay Schroeder.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 10, Los Angeles Raiders 6
Marinovich, who performed well in a loss to Kansas City the week before, instead threw four interceptions in the wild card rematch, including the one to Kansas City defensive back Deron Cherry that set up DeBerg's touchdown. Kansas City's defense managed to hold Los Angeles to six points despite losing star linebacker Derrick Thomas, who was diagnosed with a rapid heartbeat and rushed to the hospital near the end of the first half.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 10, Los Angeles Raiders 6
The Chiefs controlled most of the first quarter, with Word rushing for 36 yards on 13 carries, but missed a chance to score when their normally reliable kicker Nick Lowery missed a 33-yard field goal. Marinovich promptly gave the Chiefs another scoring chance with an interception to Cherry, who returned the ball 17 yards. However, their ensuing drive ended with another missed field goal from Lowery, a 47-yard attempt early in the second quarter. On the Raiders' next drive, Cherry intercepted Marinovich again, this time returning the ball 29 yards to the LA 11-yard line. DeBerg then put Kansas City up 7–0 with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jones. However, Marinovich finally managed to compose himself, putting together a 10-play, 65-yard drive that culminated with Jeff Jaeger's 33-yard field goal, cutting the deficit to 7–3 with 26 seconds left in the half.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 10, Los Angeles Raiders 6
Marinovich, who was rattled in the first half, found a rhythm in the second half, leading the team 62 yards in 11 plays with their first drive. Running back Nick Bell, who finished the game with 107 rushing yards, gained 46 yards on eight carries, while Jaeger finished the possession with a 26-yard field goal that made the score 7–6. Later in the quarter, LA appeared to be headed for a go-ahead score. But linebacker Lonnie Marts managed to force a fumble from Marcus Allen and defensive tackle Dan Saleaumua recovered the ball. Kansas City then drove 61 yards to the Raiders' 1-yard line where Lowery's 18-yard field goal in the fourth quarter put the Chiefs up 10–6.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 10, Los Angeles Raiders 6
Los Angeles responded with a drive to the Kansas City 25, but after linebacker Chris Martin sacked Marinovich for an 8-yard loss, Eric Everett intercepted the ball and returned it 23 yards. Still, the Raiders defense held firm, forcing a punt that gave their offense one last chance to drive for a game winning score. Marinovich's 28-yard completion to tight end Ethan Horton and an 8-yard completion to running back Steve Smith moved the ball to the Chiefs' 24-yard line. However, the team suddenly self-destructed in a barrage of penalties.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 10, Los Angeles Raiders 6
Right tackle Steve Wright was flagged for a face mask and a false start on consecutive snaps, and then an offensive pass interference penalty on Tim Brown left the team facing first and 30 from their own 41. On the next play, Marinovich's pass bounced off the hands of Horton and was intercepted by Marts with 2:15 left in regulation, enabling Kansas City to run out the rest of the clock.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 10, Los Angeles Raiders 6
The game was also significant in that it featured what was at the time the oldest starting player in the NFL (DeBerg; age 38) and the second-youngest player to start at quarterback in a playoff game: Marniovich at age 22 (Cleveland's Bernie Kosar being the youngest).


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 10, Los Angeles Raiders 6
"This is the first playoff game I have ever won", said DeBerg after the game. "I'm going to enjoy it and hopefully this won't be the last one I get to enjoy. Todd was in a tough situation. He made some plays. But in the playoffs, for a rookie to get the job done...it is very, very difficult."


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 10, Los Angeles Raiders 6
This was the third postseason meeting between the Raiders and Chiefs. Both teams split the previous two meetings as members of the AFL.

The Saints scored first on a 78-yard drive in which they started with a punt after three plays, but kept the ball due to a roughing the punter penalty against Atlanta lineman Tracy Johnson. Quarterback Bobby Hebert completed five passes on the drive, the last a 26-yard touchdown to wide receiver Floyd Turner. On the Saints' next drive, they moved the ball all the way to the Falcons' 3-yard line. But tight end John Tice dropped a catchable pass and then defensive back Deion Sanders intercepted Hebert's pass in the end zone to avoid a facing a fourteen-point deficit. In the second quarter, Morten Andersen's 45-yard field goal gave the Saints a 10–0 lead.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, NFC: Atlanta Falcons 27, New Orleans Saints 20
The Falcons later got a huge break when an apparent fumble by Mike Rozier was ruled down on contact on the field and instant replay couldn't reverse it. On the next play, Miller threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Andre Rison. With 37 seconds left in the half, Atlanta tied the game on Norm Johnson's 44-yard field goal. However, Saints running back Fred McAfee returned the ensuing kickoff 39 yards, with a facemask penalty against Sanders adding five more and giving New Orleans the ball on the Falcons' 41. On the next play, Hebert completed a 26-yard pass to running back Dalton Hilliard, enabling New Orleans to retake the lead before halftime, 13–10, on Andersen's 35-yard field goal.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, NFC: Atlanta Falcons 27, New Orleans Saints 20

The rest of the quarter would belong to the Saints, who consumed a franchise playoff record 10:49 by driving 80 yards in 19 plays and going back up 20–17 with a 1-yard touchdown run by Hilliard. New Orleans was aided by another key penalty against the Falcons defense, an offsides penalty against linebacker Jessie Tuggle on an Andersen field goal attempt that gave the Saints a first down.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, NFC: Atlanta Falcons 27, New Orleans Saints 20
With 7:43 left in the game, Johnson kicked a field goal to tie the score at 20 at the end of a 45-yard drive. The next time they got the ball, Haynes took off past cornerback Milton Mack, caught a short slant from Miller, and raced 61 yards to the end zone, giving Atlanta a 27–20 lead. After Haynes scored the winning touchdown for the Falcons, the Saints reached the Atlanta 35-yard line before Hebert threw an interception to Falcons defensive back Tim McKyer to clinch the victory.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, NFC: Atlanta Falcons 27, New Orleans Saints 20
Haynes caught six passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns. McAfee rushed for 49 yards and returned four kickoffs for 98. Saints defensive tackle Frank Warren had two of New Orleans's five sacks.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, December 28, 1991, NFC: Atlanta Falcons 27, New Orleans Saints 20

1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, December 29, 1991, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 17, Chicago Bears 13
The Cowboys jumped to a 10–0 first quarter lead and held on to win their first playoff game in nine years. Although Chicago outgained the Cowboys in total yards 372–288 and first downs 26–15, Dallas forced three turnovers and three sacks, while giving up none of either on their side of the ball. They also forced two turnovers on downs inside their own 10-yard line.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, December 29, 1991, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 17, Chicago Bears 13
Cowboys defensive back Bill Bates set up the first score of the game by forcing a fumble from Bears quarterback Jim Harbaugh on the opening drive, which defensive end Tony Hill recovered at midfield, leading to Ken Willis's 27-yard field goal. Then Cowboys linebacker Darrick Brownlow blocked a punt that was recovered by linebacker Ken Norton Jr. at the Chicago 10-yard line, setting up a 1-yard touchdown by running back Emmitt Smith.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, December 29, 1991, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 17, Chicago Bears 13
In the second quarter, Chicago moved the ball 68 yards to the Cowboys' 2-yard line. On third and 1, Harbaugh was stuffed for no gain by linebacker Jack Del Rio, and Neal Anderson was dropped by lineman Tony Tolbert on the next play. This experience would be repeated later when Chicago drove 77 yards to the 2-yard line again, with rookie Darren Lewis rushing four times for 37 yards and catching a pass for 11. On second and goal, Norton tackled Anderson at the 1, and then he and Tolbert dropped Anderson for no gain on the next play. Rather than try another fourth-down conversion, Chicago settled for Kevin Butler's 19-yard field goal to make the score 10–3 with 15 seconds left in the half.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, December 29, 1991, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 17, Chicago Bears 13
Butler narrowed the gap to 10–6 with a 43-yard field goal, but Dallas responded with a 75-yard, 14-play drive to go up 17–6 on Steve Beuerlein's 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jay Novacek. In the fourth quarter, the Bears drove to the Dallas 7-yard line, only to turn the ball over on downs with Harbaugh's fourth-down incompletion. Following a Cowboys punt, Chicago managed to score their first touchdown on Harbaugh's 6-yard touchdown pass to Tom Waddle, cutting the deficit to 17–13. Their defense then forced a three-and-out, giving Chicago a chance to drive for the winning touchdown. However, this was made difficult by Mike Saxon's 52-yard punt, which pinned the Bears back on their own 4-yard line with 1:50 left in regulation. Three plays later, Bates intercepted a pass from Harbaugh on the Bears' 16, enabling Dallas to run out the clock.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, December 29, 1991, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 17, Chicago Bears 13
"We're on a mission to kind of make a name for ourselves", Dallas nose tackle Russell Maryland said. "People said a couple of years ago that our defense was like a three-ring circus out there. Now we're out to prove that we're the greatest show on earth." "We just don't get any credit", added safety Ray Horton, describing a defense that did not have any Pro Bowl selections. "We come up and do what we have to do. Hey, we've won 12 games! Other higher-ranked defenses are at home right now. So it's not like we're riding the coattails of our offense."


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, December 29, 1991, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 17, Chicago Bears 13
Smith finished the game with 105 rushing yards and a touchdown, the most rushing yards ever allowed by Chicago in a playoff game. Waddle caught nine passes for 104 yards and a score.

1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, December 29, 1991, AFC: Houston Oilers 17, New York Jets 10
Houston got the ball first and on their opening play, they lost three yards on a screen pass. Once that was done, quarterback Warren Moon got them rolling all the way to the end zone. Despite two fumbled snaps on the drive, he completed 8/10 passes for 64 yards, including a 24-yarder to Haywood Jeffires, on a 16-play, 80-yard drive that took 9:14 off the clock and ended with his 5-yard touchdown pass to receiver Ernest Givins.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, December 29, 1991, AFC: Houston Oilers 17, New York Jets 10
New York had to punt on their first possession, but got the ball back with great field position when defensive back Erik McMillan intercepted Moon's pass on the Oilers' 39-yard line. The Jets then cashed in on their opportunity with a 9-play drive to score on Ken O'Brien's 10-yard touchdown pass to Al Toon, who made an athletic catch in the back of the end zone while barely managing to keep his feet in bounds.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, December 29, 1991, AFC: Houston Oilers 17, New York Jets 10
Later on, Houston defensive back Bo Orlando intercepted a long pass from O'Brien on the Oilers' 25, and Moon led the team to a touchdown from there, completing passes to Drew Hill and Givins for 20 and 35 yards before Givins's 20-yard touchdown reception made the score 14–7 with 3:56 left in the half. New York ended up punting, but at the 1:10 mark, Houston's Al Del Greco missed a 46-yard field goal wide right. O'Brien then completed a pair of passes to Toon for 36 total yards on a drive to the Oilers' 16-yard line where Raul Allegre kicked a 33-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 14–10 going into halftime.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, December 29, 1991, AFC: Houston Oilers 17, New York Jets 10
The Jets then took the opening kickoff of the second half and marched to the Houston 8-yard line, but O'Brien threw an interception to Oilers defensive back Bubba McDowell. Houston took the ball back at their own 3-yard line and moved into scoring range. Despite two sacks by the Jets on the drive, Moon completed 7/8 passes, including a 17-yarder to running back Lorenzo White, moving the team close enough for Del Greco to make a franchise postseason record 53-yard field goal to increase their lead to 17–10.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, December 29, 1991, AFC: Houston Oilers 17, New York Jets 10
New York responded with a drive to the Oilers' 3-yard line. Facing fourth down and inches, running back Freeman McNeil tried to advance the ball but was tackled for no gain. Late in the game, New York had another chance to score when safety Lonnie Young forced a fumble while sacking Moon and Tony Stargell recovered for the Jets on the Oilers' 26-yard line, but they turned it over on downs again. With just over a minute left, New York managed to get the ball back for one last drive, but McDowell intercepted a pass from O'Brien on the game's final play.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, December 29, 1991, AFC: Houston Oilers 17, New York Jets 10
Moon completed 28/40 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception. Toon caught eight passes for 91 yards and a score. New York linebacker Mo Lewis had two sacks.

1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 24, Atlanta Falcons 7
During their regular season meeting, Washington defeated Atlanta 56–17, with quarterback Mark Rypien throwing for 446 yards and six touchdowns.

1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 24, Atlanta Falcons 7
Under rainy and muddy conditions, the Falcons' pass-happy run-and-shoot offense turned the ball over six times, with Miller, who had problems all game with his footing, throwing four interceptions and getting sacked four times. The Redskins held the ball for over 36 minutes, scoring two touchdowns in a span of 3:11 in the second quarter. Washington scored first by driving 81 yards to score on running back Ricky Ervins's 17-yard rushing touchdown.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 24, Atlanta Falcons 7
Then, Redskins defensive lineman Charles Mann forced a fumble from Pat Chaffey that was recovered by Jumpy Geathers, giving the Redskins a first down on the Falcons 39-yard line. Following two runs by Earnest Byner for 11 yards, Rypien completed a 26-yard pass to Ricky Sanders on the 2, and Gerald Riggs ran the ball into the end zone on the next play.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 24, Atlanta Falcons 7
Now up 14–0 with 9:25 left in the second quarter, Washington squandered multiple chances to build a 3-score lead. A blitz from Washington cornerback A. J. Johnson caused Miller to throw a wobbly pass that was intercepted by Martin Mayhew on the Falcons' 29-yard line. But after driving to the 10, Rypien returned the favor with an interception to Atlanta safety Brian Jordan. The Redskins quickly got another chance to score due to an interception by linebacker Kurt Gouveia, but this drive also ended with no points, due to a missed 37-yard field goal attempt from Chip Lohmiller.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 24, Atlanta Falcons 7
Atlanta then drove 80 yards to score on Tracy Johnson's 1-yard touchdown run with 57 seconds left in the half, while Lohmiller missed a 44-yard field goal attempt as time in the second quarter ran out, his third miss of the day. So despite three first-half turnovers, Atlanta went into their locker room trailing only 14–7.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 24, Atlanta Falcons 7
In the second half, the Redskins nearly faced disaster when long snapper John Brandes bounced his snap to punter Kelly Goodburn along the ground, but Goodburn managed to pick the ball up and kick a 37-yard punt just in time. "Your reflexes take over", Goodburn said after the game. "It happened so fast that you just react. Fortunately, I got them off. I was a shortstop in high school. That might have helped." The play turned out to be crucial, as Washington's defense forced the Falcons to go three-and-out on their next possession. Then Brian Mitchell returned Scott Fulhage's 34-yard punt 26 yards to the Atlanta 18-yard line. The Redskins only managed to move the ball 11 yards, but this time Lohmiller cashed in with a 24-yard field goal, giving Washington a 17–7 lead.

The third quarter ended just over six minutes later, shortly after a missed 45-yard field goal attempt by Falcons kicker Norm Johnson, which turned out to be Atlanta's last chance to get back in the game. Less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, Falcons receiver Michael Haynes lost a fumble while being tackled by Gouveia, which linebacker Wilber Marshall recovered on the Redskins' 48-yard line. Washington then managed to grind out a 52-yard drive to put the game away, with Ervins rushing for 28 yards and Rypien converting two third downs with completions to receiver Gary Clark.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 24, Atlanta Falcons 7
He threw an incomplete pass intended for Ervins on third down from the 8, but Sanders was penalized for holding, giving Washington first and goal from the four. Riggs then took the ball into the end zone with two carries, the second a 1-yard rushing touchdown, giving Washington a 24–7 lead with 6:32 left in the game, prompting the fans in attendance to shower the field with the yellow seat cushions that were given out before the game and chant "We want Dallas".


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 24, Atlanta Falcons 7
"Well, it's great", Washington coach Joe Gibbs said after the game, "but to tell you the truth, I don't want either Dallas or Detroit. They'll both be tough. But we'll wait and see what happens and take our chances."


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 24, Atlanta Falcons 7
This was the first postseason meeting between the Falcons and Redskins.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, AFC: Denver Broncos 26, Houston Oilers 24
Trailing 24–23 with 2:07 left in the game, quarterback John Elway led the Broncos 87 yards from their own 2-yard line to the winning 28-yard field goal by David Treadwell with 16 seconds left. On the drive, he converted on two fourth downs. On fourth down and 6 from the Denver 28, he rushed for seven yards. Then on fourth down and 10, he completed a 44-yard pass to wide receiver Vance Johnson.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, AFC: Denver Broncos 26, Houston Oilers 24
The Oilers jumped to a 14–0 lead with quarterback Warren Moon's two touchdown passes to wide receivers Haywood Jeffires and Drew Hill for 15 and nine yards, respectively. Elway then completed a 10-yard touchdown pass to Johnson, but Treadwell missed the extra point. Moon responded by throwing a 6-yard touchdown to wide receiver Curtis Duncan to give Houston a 21–6 lead, but Denver safety Steve Atwater's interception set up Greg Lewis' 1-yard run touchdown before halftime on an 88-yard drive, making the score 21–13.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, AFC: Denver Broncos 26, Houston Oilers 24
In the second half, each team scored a field goal, which gave Houston a 24–16 lead in the fourth quarter. The Broncos then marched 80 yards to score on Lewis's 1-yard touchdown run on a drive that included a fumbled snap on 3rd and 8 that Elway recovered to complete a 12-yard first-down pass to Johnson, and a 26-yard completion to Mike Young on fourth down and four. Denver's defense subsequently forced a punt for the first time in the game, and Greg Montgomery's 44-yard kick was downed on the 2-yard line.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, AFC: Denver Broncos 26, Houston Oilers 24
From there, Elway started off the drive with a 22-yard pass to Young. The Broncos were forced into fourth downs twice in a row after that, but Elway converted each one with a 7-yard run and 44-yard completion to Johnson at the Oilers' 21-yard line. One play later, Treadwell kicked a 28-yard field goal for the win.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, AFC: Denver Broncos 26, Houston Oilers 24
Moon finished the game with 27 of 36 completions for 325 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception. Six of his passes were caught by Ernest Givins for 111 yards.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 4, 1992, AFC: Denver Broncos 26, Houston Oilers 24
This was the third postseason meeting between the Oilers and Broncos. Both teams split the previous two meetings.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 37, Kansas City Chiefs 14
Buffalo avenged their 33–6 Monday night loss to Kansas City during the regular season by eliminating them from the playoffs with a dominating 37–14 win, outgaining them in total yards 448–213. The Bills were aided by the return of defensive linemen Bruce Smith and Jeff Wright, who had missed almost the entire regular season with injuries, including their prior meeting with the Chiefs. Their offense was bolstered by the return of prior injured receiver Don Beebe, who caught six passes for 78 yards in this game, and James Lofton, who had missed the last two regular season games with an ankle injury.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 37, Kansas City Chiefs 14
The Bills crushed the Chiefs by jumping to a 24–0 lead in the third quarter. Buffalo quarterback Jim Kelly threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns. Bills kicker Scott Norwood, who had missed five of his last six field goal attempts at the end of the regular season, made all three field goal attempts, while Andre Reed finished with four receptions for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Thurman Thomas recorded 100 rushing yards, while Kenneth Davis rushed for 75 yards and a score.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 37, Kansas City Chiefs 14
The Chiefs had gained 239 rushing yards in the regular season game against Buffalo, with running backs Harvey Williams and Christian Okoye rushing for over 100 yards each, but could only gain 77 yards on the ground (with 3.2 yards per carry average) in this playoff rematch, with their leading rusher (Barry Word) gaining just 50.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 37, Kansas City Chiefs 14
After each team punted twice, Buffalo took a 7–0 lead by driving 80 yards in 8 plays to score on Kelly's 25-yard touchdown pass to Reed with 52 seconds left in the first quarter. Then after forcing a punt, the Bills drove to the Chiefs' 40-yard line, but lost the ball when a deflected pass went into the arms of Chiefs defensive back Eric Everett. Still, the Bills forced another punt, which Clifford Hicks returned 16 yards to the Bills' 31-yard line.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 37, Kansas City Chiefs 14
From there, Buffalo drove 69 yards in just four plays, going up 14–0 with Kelly's 53-yard touchdown completion to Reed. Meanwhile, the situation continued to deteriorate for Kansas City, as on their next drive, quarterback Steve DeBerg was knocked out of the game with a thumb injury and replaced by Mark Vlasic. Following another punt, Chiefs defensive back Deron Cherry intercepted a pass from Kelly near the Chiefs' 15-yard line. But a sack from safety Leonard Smith forced Kansas City to punt from inside their own goal line, and gave the Bills good field position on their 45.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 37, Kansas City Chiefs 14
The Chiefs had a golden opportunity to score a few plays later when Kelly threw a pass right into the arms of defensive back Kevin Ross near the sidelines. Ross had a clear path in front of him to the end zone, but he dropped the pass as he started to run and the ball fell incomplete. Buffalo went on to drive to a 33-yard field goal by Norwood that gave them a 17–0 lead going into halftime.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 37, Kansas City Chiefs 14
On the second play of the third quarter, Bills defensive back Kirby Jackson intercepted a pass from Vlasic and returned it 6 yards to the Chiefs' 36-yard line. Buffalo went on to go up 24–0 with a 6-play drive that ended on Kelly's 10-yard touchdown pass to Lofton. A few possessions later, Jackson picked up his second interception. But on the Bills' ensuing drive, Chiefs linebacker Lonnie Marts intercepted a pass from Kelly and returned it 12 yards to the Bills' 44-yard line. Vlasic's following completions to Tim Barnett and Jonathan Hayes for gains of 20 and 21 yards moved the ball to the 3, and Word eventually ran the ball into the end zone to make the score 24–7.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 37, Kansas City Chiefs 14
But Buffalo took over the game from that point on, driving right back by moving the ball 68 yards in 14 plays, including a 19-yard run by Thomas. Norwood finished the drive with a 20-yard field goal to put his team up 27–7 with 10:54 left in the game. Then Leonard Smith's interception gave Buffalo a first down on the Chiefs' 31-yard line, setting up Norwood's 47-yard field goal to increase the lead to 30–7.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 37, Kansas City Chiefs 14
Vlasic's next pass was intercepted again, this time by Hicks on the Chiefs' 34-yard line, enabling Buffalo to go up 37–7 on Davis's 5-yard rushing touchdown. Kansas City responded with an 80-yard drive to score on Vlasic's 20-yard touchdown pass to Fred Jones, but by then only 2:07 was left on the clock.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 37, Kansas City Chiefs 14
This was Thomas's fourth straight postseason game with at least 100 rushing yards, the second longest streak in NFL history (behind John Riggins's 6).


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 37, Kansas City Chiefs 14
This was the second postseason meeting between the Chiefs and Bills. Kansas City won the only previous meeting when both teams were part of the AFL.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, NFC: Detroit Lions 38, Dallas Cowboys 6
Detroit had defeated Dallas 34–10 in the regular season, and this meeting would be no different. Quarterback Erik Kramer led the Lions to their first postseason victory since 1957 by completing 29 out of 38 passes for 341 yards and three touchdowns. Dallas quarterback Steve Beuerlein completed just seven of 13 passes for 91 yards and an interception, before being replaced by Troy Aikman, who was unable to lead the team to any points after stepping on the field. Overall, Detroit outgained the Cowboys in total yards 421–276 and forced four turnovers, without losing any of their own.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, NFC: Detroit Lions 38, Dallas Cowboys 6
After forcing Dallas to punt on their opening drive, Kramer completed passes to Herman Moore, Mike Farr and Willie Green for gains of 11, 13, and 13 yards before he finished the 68-yard drive with a 31-yard touchdown pass to Green. Dallas responded with a pair of receptions by Michael Irvin for 35 yards and an 18-yard run from Emmitt Smith setting up a 28-yard field goal by Ken Willis. But the next time Dallas had the ball, Melvin Jenkins intercepted a pass from Beuerlein and returned it 41 yards for a touchdown.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, NFC: Detroit Lions 38, Dallas Cowboys 6
After the Cowboys responded with another 28-yard Willis field goal, Eddie Murray's 36-yard field goal made the score 17–6 at halftime. Near the end of the half, Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson benched Beuerlein in favor of Aikman, but this did not improve the Cowboys' fortunes. On the final two plays of the second quarter, Aikman was sacked and then threw an interception to linebacker Chris Spielman.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, NFC: Detroit Lions 38, Dallas Cowboys 6
Early in the second half, Kramer finished an 80-yard drive with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Green. Then linebacker Victor Jones recovered a fumble from Aikman on the Cowboys' 27, leading to Kramer's 7-yard touchdown pass to Moore. In the fourth quarter, Lions running back Barry Sanders, who had been held to just 22 rushing yards up to this point, put the finishing touch on Detroit's victory with an electrifying 47-yard touchdown run.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, NFC: Detroit Lions 38, Dallas Cowboys 6
Green finished the day with eight receptions for 115 yards and two touchdowns. Sanders's touchdown would be the only postseason score of his Hall of Fame career.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, NFC: Detroit Lions 38, Dallas Cowboys 6
In the six decades since the 1957 NFL Championship Game, this remains (as of 2020) the Lions' sole post-season victory, and their only one ever at the Pontiac Silverdome, in which they played 27 seasons. With the Silverdome's destruction in 2018, there are now no still-existing stadiums that witnessed an NFL post-season win by Detroit.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 5, 1992, NFC: Detroit Lions 38, Dallas Cowboys 6
This was the second postseason meeting between the Cowboys and Lions. Dallas won the only previous meeting.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 10, Denver Broncos 7
Buffalo relied on missed field goals by Denver and some key plays from their defense to edge the Broncos 10–7, in what was a knock-down, drag-out defensive drama that featured devastating pass rushes that limited both offenses to meager, hard-fought-for yardage throughout the game.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 10, Denver Broncos 7
The score was 0–0 at the half, even though Denver advanced into Buffalo territory on all five of their first-half possessions. After the first three drives of the game ended in punts, Vance Johnson gave Denver good field position with a 13-yard return to their 49-yard line. The Broncos then drove to the Bills' 34-yard line, but three consecutive plays for negative yardage, including a big sack on third down by Jeff Wright, pushed them all the way back to their own side of the field.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 10, Denver Broncos 7
After their punt, Denver quickly got another scoring chance when Ron Holmes deflected Bills quarterback Jim Kelly's pass at the line of scrimmage and nose tackle Greg Kragen made a diving interception on the Buffalo 29-yard line. But again Denver ended up with negative yardage and failed to score when David Treadwell was wide right on a 47-yard field goal attempt. Buffalo then drove to Denver territory for the first time in the game, but were stopped there and had to punt.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 10, Denver Broncos 7
The Broncos then went on a rough back-and-forth drive featuring numerous penalties (including an encroachment call against the Bills on fourth down and 4), negative plays, an Elway fumble that he recovered himself, and an interception overturned by replay review. Despite all this, Denver managed to reach the Bills' 16-yard line, but then Elway's fumble and recovery lost the team five yards and a third-down sack by Bruce Smith pushed them back another 8. On the next play, Treadwell missed a 42-yard field goal attempt, this time hitting the right upright. Johnson returned Buffalo's next punt 10 yards to midfield.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 10, Denver Broncos 7
Then on Denver's first play, Steve Sewell gained 26 yards on a screen pass. But after two tackles near the line of scrimmage by Cornelius Bennett, Elway was stopped on a quarterback draw and Treadwell missed again, this time hitting the right upright from 37 yards out. Meanwhile, Buffalo finished the half with just three first downs, one week after racking up 29 in their win over Kansas City.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 10, Denver Broncos 7
Early in the third quarter, Denver quarterback John Elway (who was sacked three times) suffered a deep thigh bruise that limited his mobility. Meanwhile, Buffalo finally managed to mount a sustained drive. Aided by a 16-yard run from Andre Reed on a reverse play, they drove all the way to the Broncos' 27-yard line. But continuing the trend of the day, they failed to capitalize when defensive back Tyrone Braxton intercepted Kelly's third down pass.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 10, Denver Broncos 7
On the Broncos' ensuing possession, they faced second down and 10 at their own 19-yard line. Elway attempted a middle screen pass to Sewell (which had been Denver's most effective play), but it was tipped by Wright into the arms of linebacker Carlton Bailey. Bailey broke an Elway tackle and returned the ball 11 yards for what would be Buffalo's only touchdown of the game.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 10, Denver Broncos 7
Elway's injury worsened to the point of his being replaced by backup Gary Kubiak in the fourth quarter. Kubiak managed to lead the Broncos into Bills territory, but they turned the ball over on downs when defensive back Cliff Hicks tackled Mike Young on the Buffalo 23-yard line one yard short of a first down on fourth and 11. After being completely dominated up to this point, Buffalo's offense got on track with a pivotal 25-yard third-down completion by Kelly to tight end Keith McKeller. A few runs by hobbled Buffalo running back Thurman Thomas and a 10-yard catch by Reed carried the Bills to within field goal range, and with 4:18 left in the game, Buffalo kicker Scott Norwood made a 44-yard field goal to increase the lead to 10–0.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 10, Denver Broncos 7
Kubiak, who was playing in his last NFL game before retiring, started out the Broncos next drive with an 11-yard scramble and then a completion to Johnson at midfield. Another completion to Johnson moved the ball to the 43, and then Mark Jackson caught a pass for a first down at the Bills' 39. Following an encroachment penalty and an incompletion, Johnson made a spinning mid-air catch on the Bills' 10-yard line. Then after Johnson hauled in his fourth reception of the drive, Kubiak finished the 8-play.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 10, Denver Broncos 7
85-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown run on a quarterback draw, cutting the deficit to 10–7 with less than two minutes left. Denver defensive back Steve Atwater then recovered the ensuing onside kick on the Broncos' 49-yard line, but on the next play defensive back Kirby Jackson forced and recovered a fumble from Sewell with 1:28 left. Denver forced Buffalo to punt, but there were only 17 seconds left when they started their drive from their own 20-yard line. Kubiak completed two passes to move his team near midfield. However, the second play ended in bounds and the clock ran out.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 10, Denver Broncos 7
Denver finished the game leading in almost every statistical category, except for rushing. Johnson, who had only 208 receiving yards during the season, finished with seven receptions for 100 yards and three punt returns for 36 yards. Kubiak completed 11 of 12 passes for 136 yards and rushed for 22 yards, outscoring and out-passing Kelly and Elway. The Broncos defense held the high-powered Bills offense to 13 catches (most of them completed to tight ends and running backs) and three offensive points.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, AFC: Buffalo Bills 10, Denver Broncos 7
This was the first postseason meeting between the Broncos and Bills.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 41, Detroit Lions 10
In their season opening game, Washington beat the Lions 45–0. The Lions now had future Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders, who had missed their first meeting in Week 1 with an injury, but it didn't help.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 41, Detroit Lions 10
The Redskins crushed the Lions, 41–10, as quarterback Mark Rypien completed 12 out of 17 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns. Detroit quarterback Erik Kramer was sacked five times, three of them by Washington linebacker Wilber Marshall. Sanders, who rushed for 1,548 yards during the season, was held to just 44 yards on 11 carries.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 41, Detroit Lions 10
The Redskins forced two turnovers on the Lions' first two possessions, and jumped to a 10–0 lead just 4:02 into the game. On Detroit's first play of the game, Washington defensive lineman Charles Mann forced Kramer to fumble and Fred Stokes recovered the ball on the Lions' 10, setting up running back Gerald Riggs' 2-yard touchdown. Then Redskins kicker Chip Lohmiller made a 20-yard field goal after linebacker Kurt Gouveia intercepted a pass and returned it 38 yards to the Detroit 10-yard line.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 41, Detroit Lions 10
In the second quarter, Kramer led the Lions 75 yards in 11 plays to score on his 18-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Willie Green, but it was countered by Washington's 73-yard drive leading to a 3-yard touchdown run by Riggs. Detroit then drove 76 yards to score on Eddie Murray's 30-yard field goal and the Redskins only led 17–10 at halftime.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 41, Detroit Lions 10
However, Washington scored 24 unanswered points in the second half, starting with Lohmiller's 28-yard field goal that was set up by Rypien's 45-yard completion to tight end Terry Orr, making the score 20–10. On Detroit's second drive of the third quarter, they moved the ball 45 yards to the Redskins' 21-yard line, but on third and 5, linebacker Andre Collins sacked Kramer for a 5-yard loss. Then Murray's 44-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Jumpy Geathers.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 41, Detroit Lions 10
Rypien completed a 31-yard pass to Art Monk on the Redskins' ensuing drive, and followed it up with a 45-yard touchdown pass to Gary Clark that gave the Redskins a 27–10 lead. He added a 21-yard touchdown pass to Monk in the fourth quarter, while defensive back Darrell Green finished off the scoring by returning an interception 32 yards for a score.


1991–92 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 12, 1992, NFC: Washington Redskins 41, Detroit Lions 10
After the game, the Redskins dedicated their win to WUSA sports anchor Glenn Brenner, who died from a brain tumor two days after the game.

1991–92 NHL season
The 1991–92 NHL season was the 75th regular season of the National Hockey League. The league expanded to 22 teams with the addition of the expansion San Jose Sharks. For the first time, the Stanley Cup Finals extended into June, with the Pittsburgh Penguins repeating as Stanley Cup champions, winning the best of seven series four games to none against the Chicago Blackhawks.


1991–92 NHL season, League business
This was the first season for the San Jose Sharks, the first expansion team in the NHL since 1979. The birth of the Sharks returned NHL hockey to the San Francisco Bay Area after the California Golden Seals had relocated to Cleveland, Ohio in 1976.

This was also the last season for John Ziegler as NHL president. He would be succeeded by Gil Stein, who held the position for one year before being replaced by newly named commissioner Gary Bettman, during and after the 1992–93 season. After Stein's departure, the league presidency was merged into the new office of commissioner.


1991–92 NHL season, League business
A new rule was added in which the final minute of every period is measured in tenths of a second, unlike whole seconds as in past seasons. This timekeeping procedure matches that of the  IIHF, which began doing so in 1990.


1991–92 NHL season, League business, 75th season celebration
To celebrate the 75th anniversary season for the NHL, all players wore a special anniversary patch on their uniforms during this season.


1991–92 NHL season, League business, 75th season celebration
Taking cues from Major League Baseball's "Turn Back The Clock" uniform program, throwback uniforms were worn by Original Six teams for select games, and throwbacks were also worn for the All-Star Game.


1991–92 NHL season, League business, 75th season celebration
The throwback uniforms would influence future seasons in the NHL, as several teams adopted throwbacks as alternate jerseys. The National Football League and National Basketball Association would follow the NHL's lead, with teams wearing throwbacks to celebrate their leagues' 75th and 50th anniversaries, respectively.


1991–92 NHL season, Regular season
New York Rangers defenceman Brian Leetch became the fifth, and last as of 2020, defenceman to score 100 points in a season. He finished the season with 102 points and captured the James Norris Memorial Trophy as the league's best defenceman. The Rangers ended the season with 105 points, winning the Presidents' Trophy as the top regular-season team in the NHL. It was the first time the Rangers had topped the league since 1942.


1991–92 NHL season, Regular season
For the first time, the NHL finished play in the month of June. A primary reason for this was the 10-day NHL strike, the first work stoppage in league history, that started on April 1. The games that were supposed to be played during the strike were not canceled, but rescheduled and made up when play resumed on April 12.


1991–92 NHL season, Regular season
For the first time in his NHL career, Wayne Gretzky failed to finish in the top two in scoring. The Pittsburgh Penguins' Kevin Stevens became only the third person in NHL history to outscore Gretzky in the regular season (Marcel Dionne tied Gretzky in Wayne's rookie year but scored more goals, and Mario Lemieux won the Art Ross Trophy over Gretzky in 1988 and 1989).
