Where do Packers and Steelers losses rank among NFL Playoff blowouts?

2. Jaguars 62, Dolphins 7 — 1999 AFC Divisional Round
Playoff games are supposed to pit the best of the best against one another, which is not what you think about the Jaguars and Dolphins. Maybe it’s because most of the time they’ve met over the last 20 years it has been less than memorable. Or perhaps it’s because the last time they met in the playoffs, Miami was on the receiving end of perhaps the most embarrassing playoff loss ever suffered by an AFC team.
Take all of those Broncos blowouts and pile them in the center of the table, because Miami Dolphins fans will always raise you the 1999 Divisional Round game in which they were blown out 62-7 by Mark Brunell and the Jaguars.
Marino failed to pass for more than 95-yards in the game, being replaced by Damon Huard once it was clear the Dolphins were done. It probably wasn’t the way Jimmy Johnson — the architect of that Dallas Cowboys dynasty in the 90s — thought the last game of his coaching career would go either.
If the Chad Pennington-led Jets beating the Peyton Manning-led Colts 41-0 is significant, look no further than Brunell retiring Dan Marino to such brutal extent that he was benched in his final game of his career.
