On January 2, 1982, NBC was on hand for a divisional playoff game between the San Diego Chargers and Miami Dolphins that would go down as the "Epic in Miami". The game, won by the Chargers in overtime, 41–38, is one of the most famous in National Football League lore because of the conditions on the field, the performances of players on both teams, and the numerous records that were set. Don Criqui and John Brodie called the action and Bryant Gumbel served as the anchor, one of his final assignments for NBC Sports as he began co-hosting "Today" two days after the game. The following week, NBC covered the AFC Championship Game between the Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals. While the "Epic in Miami" was played in the heat and humidity of Miami, the Chargers found themselves dealing with nearly the exact opposite conditions in the "Freezer Bowl" in Cincinnati.
