3. Oakland Raiders at Baltimore Colts (Dec. 24, 1977)

Nearly four decades later, this game still has a name: “Ghost To The Post.” Sure, the Colts lost this one 37-31 in two overtimes on a Dave Casper pass from Ken Stabler but this was a Christmas Eve full of regrets for Ted Marchibroda in what was the last great and significant game the Colts ever played in Baltimore. It was the end of an era and will forever be known as one of the greatest football games ever played.
