Bledsoe & Marino EPIC Opening Day Duel! (Patriots vs. Dolphins, 1994)

People born after 1993 probably have no idea how great Dan Marino was. Arguably the greatest thrower of the football in NFL history. Drew Bledsoe, was a really good franchise level quarterback who just happened to come before the guy many consider the greatest ever.

Dan Marino, in the mud, with two bad knees, a visibly atrophied leg from a torn Achilles, with a D-lineman baring down on him: Can't touch this.

Some of these passes Dan threw give me goose bumps. No one throws like he does in the nfl right now.

I loved the 90's Pats.... Bledsoe, Martin, Law, Slade and Coates was a beast.

As A lifelong Patriots fans, this is one of their only losses I don't mind rewatching.

Dolphins need to bring back those uniforms and the dolphin logo wearing a helmet.

Drew Bledsoe is the reason I became a Patriots fan & growing up Dan Marino was my favorite quarterback..

I can't believe it's been 25 years since I watched this game on TV! Dan Marino and Don Shula, Drew Bledsoe and Bill Parcells, names I grew up with. Jim Lampley and the late, Todd Christensen on the call for NBC, live from Joe Robbie stadium.... Ahhh, memories! Back when the NFL was still the NFL. I wish NBC and the NFL would have some fun, and broadcast a few games like they did years ago, being this is the 100th season of the NFL. Games without CG first down lines, only flashing the score card once someone scores a TD or FG. C'mon NFL, give us a couple of retro games!

I bet Ace Ventura could find out who stole the middle of the field.

I wish Marino couldve got at least 1 ring ....most casuals just over look him in goat talk because of him not winning a ring...this dude was easily a top 5 all time qb if not #1

Here we go, love these 80s/90s games.

This was on NFL network a few months ago and was hoping it would be uploaded! Thanks Throwback!

Damn now you have to do the 1994 Vikes-Pats game where Bledsoe attempted a record 70 passes in a huge comeback win over Warren Moon. Plus in 1994 Fox kept the scoreboard on the screen all the time, so that one might be a bit easier to follow lol

11:07 Marino was the master at side stepping lineman look how he loads up and waits before he does it here

I was 14 in 94 and played fantasy for the first time. Marino was my 1st pick everyone thought I was crazy bc he was coming off injury and old but boy did he prove me rt and how. Wada an opening weekend. He was a stat machine. Took Sterling Sharpe with 2nd pick and went ahead and won the league. Thanks fellas. Two Legends.

I was at this game great game can't believe it was 25 years ago

Bledsoe was a baller that gets overlooked in history since we all know who took his job.

Ben Coates was a beast then so was a young Bledsoe. But nobody was beating Danny on his comeback day.

I love that these uploads usually are themed. Pats & Dolphins play each other this week and the Dolphins here had Mark Ingram Sr. and just played against Ingram Jr. last week.

Ah the good old days when players got muddy and social media wasn’t a thing
