I'm a big Charger fan and watched this game just before moving up to Los Angeles later that day.....
It was the one where three two teams were in a 'must win' situation to get into the Super Bowl and the game went back and forth, resulting in a high score and lots of fun.

My Chargers beat Miami in Div. playoffs. -
