Dateline: Monday, March 9, 1986. Denver held on to defeat Birmingham in overtime in a chilly Sunday afternoon game. The two teams traded blows with Denver owning the first half and Birmingham coming back to tie it up in the second half. A Dan Miller 40 yard field goal tied the game with just over a minute left.
Birmingham then had the chance to win it in overtime but Miller missed a 45 yard field goal. That led to the winning drive and field goal by Denver. Both offenses had a field day, gaining over 600 yards each. Birmingham showed slightly more balance with 200 yards rushing. Meanwhile, Bob Gagliano threw for over 500 yards for Denver.
Denver travels to Vegas next week. Birmingham hosts the Bandits.
