description

In the first quarter of a postseason matchup between the Browns and Jets that wouldn't be settled until a second overtime period, Cleveland quarterback Bernie Kosar dropped back to pass off a play-action fake, and launched a ball down the right sideline that hit his receiver in stride for a 37-yard score. Kosar would go on to set an NFL Playoff record in this one with 489 passing yards, a mark that would stand for more than 30 years, as Cleveland beat the Jets in double-overtime, 23-20, on Jan. 3, 1987.
