1977 NFL Replay Week 13 Recaps, Standings and League Leaders



Lots of great races heading into Week 14, but the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos will not meet in the 77 NFL Replay playoffs as they did back in 1977. Actually, neither team will even make the playoff field in the replay.

Cincinnati beat Pittsburgh 17-16 on Ken Anderson's 16 yard TD run in the game's final minute. The Bengals and Oilers meet in Week 14 with the winner taking the AFC Central and the loser out of the playoffs along with Pittsburgh.

Miami wins the AFC East if they beat pesky Buffalo, who beat the Dolphins in Week 1. The winner of Baltimore-New England in Week 14 could win the AFC East with a Miami loss and the loser could possibly still get a Wild Card spot.

San Diego beat Denver 24-20 to give the Chargers and AFC West title and knock the Broncos out. Dan Fouts went down with an injury early in the game, but James Harris lit up the Orange Crush.

Oakland gets a Wild Card slot with a win in Week 14.

Dallas has clinched home field on the NFC side.

Atlanta wins the NFC West with a win over the Saints, but the Saints could get a Wild Card spot with a NY Giants win over Chicago.

Minnesota wins the NFC Central with a win over Detroit, but the Bears win the Central if they beat the Giants and the Vikings lose.

The Rams win the NFC West with a win over the Redskins and a Falcons loss.

The second place finisher in the NFC West will host the NFC Wild Card game against either the Giants, Redskins, Bears or Saints.
