#OTD in 1982, New England Patriots were tied 0-0 with the Dolphins, needing a late field goal to make the playoffs. Thanks to a snow plow driven by a convicted burglar who worked at Foxboro Stadium on a work release program that cleared the way, John Smith was able to kick a game-winning, 33-yard field goal. It's now called the "Snow Plow Game." 📹 NFL Films | Pro Football Hall of Fame
