1980 NFL
In 1980, the division winners in the AFC were Buffalo in the East, Cleveland in the Central, and San Diego in the West. The two wild-Card teams were Houston and Oakland. In the NFC, it was Philadelphia in the East, Minnesota in the Central, and Atlanta in the West. The two Wild-Card teams were Dallas and Los Angeles. In the Wild-Card games, the Raiders put a close 10-7 game away in the fourth quarter with a 17-point burst, and finish off the Oilers 27-7. In the other game, the Cowboys and Rams were tied 13-13 at halftime, but Dallas outscored them 21-0 in the second half to win easily 34-13. In the AFC Divisional Playoffs, the Chargers trailed the Bills 14-3 at halftime, before shutting out the Bills 17-0 in the second half to win a close one 20-14. In the other AFC game, the Raiders survived a close defensive battle with the Browns and held on for a 14-12 victory. In the NFC, the Cowboys trailed 27-10 entering the fourth quarter, and turned the game around by outscoring the Falcons 20-3 in the fourth quarter, to pull out another miraculous comeback, and win the game 30-27. In the other NFC game, the Eagles overcame a slow start to roll over the Vikings 31-16. In the conference championship games, Oakland built a 28–7 first half lead, but had to hold off a furious comeback attempt by the Chargers to win the game 34-27, and become the second wild card team in NFL history to make it to the Super Bowl. In the NFC, the Eagles stingy defense shut down the Cowboys 20-7, setting up the match-up for Super Bowl XV. The Raiders defeated the Eagles by the score of 27–10, becoming the first wild card playoff team to win a Super Bowl. The game was played at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on January 25, 1981. Aided by two touchdown passes from quarterback Jim Plunkett, the Raiders jumped out to a 14–0 lead in the first quarter of Super Bowl XV, which the Eagles never recovered from. Oakland linebacker Rod Martin also intercepted Philadelphia quarterback Ron Jaworski three times for a Super Bowl record. Plunkett was named the Super Bowl MVP after completing 13 of 21 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 9 yards. Plunkett was also the second Heisman Trophy winner to be named Super Bowl MVP after Roger Staubach in Super Bowl VI.
