🏈On December 12, 1982 the “Snowplow Game” took place in a matchup between the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots at Schaefer Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Due to icy conditions, the game remained scoreless until late in the 4th quarter, when the snowplow operator (Mark Henderson) was called in to clear a spot on the snowy field by Patriots head coach Ron Meyer specifically for New England kicker John Smith so he could kick the game-winning field goal to give the Patriots a 3–0 win.

#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
