According to the NFL, of the almost 16,000 pro football games played since the league officially began in 1936, there are ten incredible upsets that stand out above all the others. These are the gridiron matchups where David slung Goliath, where mom and pop beat up Walmart and McDonalds, where the underdog bared its teeth and bit the favorited one right where it counts, on the way to a surprising victory. Here we take a closer look at these ten fantastic and historic NFL upsets and examine what made the results of these games so unbelievably shocking.

10) Super Bowl IV (4)

Matchup: NFL’s Minnesota Vikings (12-2) vs AFL’s Kansas City Chiefs (11-3) Date Played: January 11, 1970 Stadium and City: Tulane Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana Team favored to win: The NFL was considered a superior league by sportswriters, so the Vikings were favored over the Chiefs by 12 ½ to 13 ½ points.

Final Score: Chiefs 23, Vikings 7

Key Figures: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson was the game’s MVP after completing 12-of-17 passes for 142 yards and one touchdown with one interception plus 3 carries for 11 yards. Also key was the outspoken Kansas City Chiefs’ head coach Hank Stram, who was miked-up for this game, the first time that had ever been done in a Super Bowl.

Number of Hall of Famers associated with this game: 17

Why this game was critical: This was the fourth (and final) AFL-NFL World Championship Game because afterwards the two leagues merged. How the upset happened: After the AFL’s Kansas City Chiefs were blown out of Super Bowl I by the Green Bay Packers by a lopsided score of 35-10, they didn’t garner much respect from the sportswriters of the time and were expected to get smoked by the Vikings in the Big Game. It didn’t help either team that the conditions were wet that day, but regardless Chiefs head coach Hank Stram outwitted his Vikings’ counterpart, Bud Grant, by game-planning a shutdown of Minnesota’s powerful run game, limiting them to just 67 yards on the ground over the entire sixty minutes. The other key factor in this upset were turnovers – the Chiefs intercepted Vikings quarterback Joe Kapp three times as well as recovered two fumbles, and it didn’t hurt that Kansas City kept the Vikings completely off the scoreboard in the fourth quarter.

9) 1987-88 NFC Divisional Playoffs

Matchup: Minnesota Vikings (8-7) vs San Francisco 49ers (13-2) Date Played: January 9, 1988 Stadium and City: Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California Team favored to win: The NFC West 49ers were the easy favorite over the Wild Card Vikings, who squeaked into the playoffs with an 8-7 regular-season record.

Final Score: Chiefs 13, Vikings 7

Key Figures: Vikings’ wide receiver Anthony Carter, who posted 10 receptions for an NFL playoff record 227 receiving yards on top of a 30-yard carry and two punt returns for 21 yards. Why this game was critical: This was the number one seeded 49ers with Joe Montana and Jerry Rice getting to play the fifth (and lowest) seeded Vikings in San Francisco’s home stadium for an easy win and a trip to the NFC Championship game. How the upset happened: After San Francisco finished their regular season with three blowouts that had a combined score of 124-7, so going into this game against an 8-7 Wild Card team like the Vikings seemed like a sure win for head coach Bill Walsh, Montana, Rice and the rest of the 13-2 Niners. The Vikings went into the third quarter ahead 27-10 after scoring 17 unanswered points in the second quarter, and the 49ers could only manage one more touchdown with just 3:42 left in the game and by then it was too late for a comeback. During this game, after Montana had thrown for no touchdowns but one interception, Walsh replaced him under center with his backup, Steve Young, who couldn’t get the win despite completing 12-of-17 for 158 yards and a touchdown with an interception.
