Wait until A I takes over....then we'll really miss it.

That was a very awesome play. Tell a kind of play that gets you fired up. And I still love these bronco uniforms the best I hate it when they switch to navy blue in 97

Manolo G. Know what you mean ! I had to listen to AFN radio’s « parade of sports » in Brussels relayed by the SHAPE station in Mons to hear about my niners. As a belgian with no affiliation to the military, it was my only connection to football. That plus the tuesday edition of the USA today international edition and their very expensive (from europe) phone line with live scores.... Yep no internet at the time and that phone line was how i found about my niners defeat vs Giants in 1986 playoffs 49-3... and i remember to this day where i listen to superbowl XXIV and my niners thrashing of this same Broncos team. Great memories...

To each his own. I know nobody cares about my opinion. But I LOVE for games to be played entirely under blazing sunlight. Maybe because football is the ultimate spectacle. No other sport is so visually arresting. Even as a kid, I loved the noon games. I'd get the Bronco game late in the afternoon, and after an hour or so there'd be all kinds of weird shadows on the field..By the second half, depending on the time of year, half the field would be in the shade, or it would be dark, altogether... There was a time when they did this even in Super Bowls. Roger Staubach won his MVP in Super Bowl 6, I believe, and that game was played entirely in broad daylight...Never again..

It was known as "The Noise". Super loud in the stands that day. I was there :)

This game has a special place in my heart it was the one that converted me from a Browns fan to a Broncos fan

I think you mean Patrick Mahomes throws a John Elway-like pass.

I thought the same thing when I heard them talk about that.Elway and Jeff george could throw out of any body position or angle,and with considerable velocity.

I respect the hell out of Mahomes. He's going to be a pain in the ass for us Broncos fans for years to come, but you're right. Mahomes has nothing in terms of arm strength we haven't seen years ago with Elway. John had a damn howitzer for an arm, especially in his younger years

This was probably the most critical play of the game for Denver. If this 3rd down and 10 was not converted, then the Broncos would have been punting right back to Cleveland when the Browns had already just narrowed the score to 24-21 with their two quick back to back late 3rd quarter touchdowns. Elway's pass was all the more incredible considering that number 31 on the Browns, pro bowl cornerback Frank Minnifield, had an astonishing 44-inch vertical jump. Even Bill Walsh said, "I can't believe it!" as he was processing what he had just seen.

I respect Mahomes...but John Elway made many of these same types of throws with the clock running out, after having spent 3 hours taking beatings like something out of the fifteenth round of a Rocky Balboa fight...There's just no comparison.

Same here, I remember playing the original Tecmo Bowl during this game thinking I was going to do some voodoo to help the Browns win. When it failed this was my last game as a Browns fan, Broncos fan since then

Yeah the Browns and Broncos had some good memorable games over the years

They were a legitimate Super Bowl contender. You mean maybe 4 or 5 plays away from a conference championship.

It was just sad that whatever the reason was Denver seemed to always have Cleveland's number

It would be over 30 years before the Browns were in contention again

It really helped them in The Super Bowl

And then gave up 5 passing touchdowns in the superbowl

It’s called being outclassed. What does Crow think? Or Gypsy?

I said the same thing!! I was 15 years old when I saw this game. I said to myself , enjoy this moment while you can broncos!! Show nuff super bowl24 they didn't even bother to show up!!

Yeah Super Bowl XXIV was a disaster Denver was never a good team on artificial turf, but I agreed Denver looks really good in this game it was very disappointing how the Super Bowl turned out, but Denver played the 49ers the year before in 1988 at candlestick Park and beat them, it was a pretty epic game it's on KZfaq also

Me, too. It may sound crazy, but I'd trade the rings to go back. To this day, it sickens me that the Shanahan era was so perfect...I mean, STORYBOOK perfect...and they had to go and ruin it by changing their uniform...

Yeah when the Broncos had the Retro uniforms and Mile High stadium it was Mile High magic things never seen the same after they moved to the new stadium and changed the uniforms to those ugly navy blue ones I still hate them yuck 🤮 the uniforms in this game will always be my favorite regardless of our Super Bowl records in each of the uniforms

​@@tgriffin3059 I agree with you 100%, it was cool when we did win the Super bowls but it was kind of bittersweet for me because I hated the fact we wanted and those butt ugly navy blue uniforms, I miss that orange crush they were that's Denver Broncos colors to me. I hated the navy blue when they went to it in 97 and I still do to this day

6 years later they were off to Baltimore

The team really was never the same after Marty was fired. Had some OK seasons but the magic was gone.

Yeah this was their decent team for a long time

Yes sir!!

i agree...i always thought McCaffrey was underrated on that team too....he was a great reciever...all the attention went to Elway and Davis...and they were great, but they can’t do it alone.

It's the effects of overpopulation. It's taken its toll on the midland too.

Yeah I wish it was like before

@@arsonhakobyan. The Government has the money to build houses for everybody.

Denver is too big for its own good. It’s lost its charm and become pretentious.

Actually, the game began just after 11:30am Mountain Time due to the circumstances. By 2002-03 playoffs, games now began at 3pm and after 6:30 Eastern Time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989%E2%80%9390_NFL_playoffs#Schedule

The failure of the 80s set the team back.one day my browns will win it all

@@eulissbenoit5968 They are still haunted by '85-'89 to date, 30-35 years later!

@@joshuaecht 80 also

Bernie Kosar's elbow injury was evident during this game. The under thrown deep post to a WIDE OPEN Reggie Langhorne late in the 2nd quarter should have put the Browns up 7-3 (Langhorne should of caught it ANYWAY). It would have COMPLETELY changed the whole momentum of the game. The DEFENSE had a good game plan. Kosar's elbow was SO SWOLLEN after the game, it looked like a grapefruit was implanted into his arm. BUT he toughed it out during the game, enduring the excruciating pain and gave it ALL he had. MAD respect for Bernie Kosar!

@@bryanburrage9041 I’d say they deserved it for getting rid of Marty but Kosar was a warrior. If he had been healthy that year who knows what would have happened. I’m not sure if any AFC team was ready to face those Niners but the Browns should have stayed in Cleveland because they were actually starting to be a solid team and with the talent they had from the field, to the coaches and in the front office it should have been the Browns winning Super Bowls and not the GD Ravens!

What about Rob? I know Right!!!

Well there were young coaches then, as Tom Landry started at 35 for Dallas, but people were generally more patient about working their way up through the ranks. You had fewer Sean McVays then. Organizations weren't so trigger happy for change then either, as good coordinators had great job security, so there was less desire for them to risk it all for only a marginally higher salary (in relative terms) to be head coach. Some just thought they were born to be either an offensive or defensive coordinator for life, then the poop hit the fan one day when they saw all of their once blonde or brunette hair turn full gray, some having gone to white, and suddenly get the urge to get a taste of being a head coach once they realized they had little time left on Earth for work.

Bud Carson was he related to Johnny Carson??

Because then they didn't had jobs to kids who weren't even old enough to have experience to be a HC. I don't know how these guys at 30 or younger are getting NFL HC jobs. You graduate hs at 18 and don't graduate college until 21. 7 years of coaching isn't enough to be a HC in the pros imo

lol😂😂😂

@@juanparty😆

I'm a broncos fan and I think you're right every time the broncos beat the browns to always thought Cleveland what have done better in the superbowl.

Maybe with a healthy Kosar but it may have been much worse with his elbow injury

This sucks!! Browns beat broncos 16-13 and 30-29 under Carson but lost the playoff game

In terms of a better game possible but niners peak during the 88 playoffs there was no team touching them in 89 14-2 that year and a well oil machine thru the playoffs

@@mikegillins4992 you nailed it

Because Sewell was much better receiver than Humphries..

@@ronaldclatterbuck5953 thank you, I honestly didn't know that.

How does that make any sense if Cleveland can't beat Denver who then got destroyed by the 49ers. The Broncos had their worst game in the Super Bowl and the 49ers have their best game. A year earlier in 1988 the Broncos actually beat the 49ers at candlestick park

@@RetroreviewsPlus Some teams match up against others better. In 1984, Miami Dolphins go to Pittsburgh and wins 31-7 The very next week, the Steelers go TO San Francisco and give them a 20-17 loss. Mark Malone, QB of the Steelers out performed Joe Montana. It was the 49ers only loss all season. The 49ers then beat Miami in the Super Bowl 38-16. Similarly, a year later, New England beats Miami 2 out of the three games they played (final one being the Championship game. Earlier that season, the Dolphins handed the Bears their only loss that season 38-24 and it wasn't even that close. Bears beat Pats 46-10 in the Super Bowl. A LOT of people believe the Dolphins would have won that SB had they just got past *lucky* New England who had a "Cinderella Season".

@@d0nKsTaH yep every game is different, because I remember when the Denver Broncos led by quarterback Kyle Orton, beat the Tom Brady LED Patriots. Kyle Orton out doing Tom Brady.....🤯

True!!!

Well your statement doesn't make any sense, the Bills lost to the Browns.... Who lost to the Broncos convincingly in this game

@@RetroreviewsPlus It makes plenty of sense. Different teams match up better than others. The Bills were better equipped than the Broncos to give the 49ers a competitive game.

@@MaximusWolfe so the bills could beat the 49ers, but they couldn't beat the Browns and the Browns couldn't beat the Broncos I think that's wishful thinking and shoulda coulda woulda. Also the Broncos beat the bills during the 89 season 28- 14.... At Buffalo

@@RetroreviewsPlus I guess you still don’t get the point. Sigh. It’s about matchups. The broncos lacked the physicality and size on defense that gave them a competitive chance against most NFC teams. The browns and bills were very physical and big. It’s not that complicated.

Many thanks for the update, Sport.

That should be your own business, what goes on in the bathroom should stay in the bathroom

Yet that score doesn't tell the story of how much of a thrashing it really was. Broncos had #1 rated defense going into that game, and it felt like the 49ers had a chance to score 80 on that Louisiana evening. That was the 1st football game I actually ever watched live, from start to finish, and while 80's a stretch, it would've been at least 65-10 if Bill Walsh wanted to just keep running the score up in the 4th period. The Steve Young 6TD pass Super Bowl 5yrs later in Super Bowl 29, has nothing on Super Bowl 24.

@@arsonhakobyan Walsh wasn’t coaching the Niners anymore. It was Sieffert’s first year. I’m not sure if you noticed Walsh calling this game

@@roninkraut6873 Thank you for pointing that out. I actually was aware of that (don't know if you'll believe me?), but was just typing too fast w/o thinking, so accidently typed Bill Walsh, meaning to type George Seifert. And Seifert gets historically underrated because of the talent that he had, but would take him over Mooch any day of the wk., and especially on Sunday. Untimely injuries in the early 90s, followed by the start of free agency in the mid 90s, cost him a few more Super Bowls that I believe he would've won. Still, two's not bad.

@@arsonhakobyan I believe you. I’ve done the same thing a lot. Don’t forget Dallas was also at the beginning of their dynasty too. For awhile there the NFC championship game was the super bowl

@@roninkraut6873 Yeah, the loss of Charles Haley was really due to bad management, as oppose to free agency, and it hurt us, especially since them Cowboys got him. But then losing the likes of Bill Romanowski, Deion Neon Sanders & Ricky Watters all in their primes to free agency was really the difference in the mid to late 90s match-ups w/ the Packers. Green Bay never would've sniffed the Super Bowl most likely, had we been able to keep just Ricky Watters after the Super Bowl, but definitely not if we also kept DPOY Deion Sanders. The Packers defense was great in 96 for instance, but liable against the run, as always against Emmitt Smith, and later Terrell Davis when trying to repeat. Watters isn't quiet as great as them, but he would've been still a handful for them green & gold to deal w/, against a team w/ such a prolific passing attack as them mighty 49ers, where you couldn't stack up 8 in the box to stop the run. When we lost Watters, Steve Young had to not be just our best quarterback, but also our best running back. Derek Loville is a good 3rd stringer, nothing more. Deion was a better player than Watters, but Watters gave us that balance. Great talented fullback Williams Floyd, from the National Champion Seminoles, ends up having to carry a bigger load in Watters' departure, so he gets hurt in middle of 95, is out for the season, and we have no balance left at all, especially when facing such a ferocious pass rush as that of the Packers. The one season Garrison Heart was close to healthy at end of yr. against the Pack in 98, before injuring himself against the Falcons, was the only yr. we beat Green Bay. Their defense can be had against the run. It's so aggressive that it can't stop itself to play the run. Their gang tackling is great, their gap containment, no so much. The Cowboys were stacked, but we easily would've had the 1-seed in 95 w/o free agency taking away our most valuable piece on both offense & defense, and Favre never wins in Big-D. Also, as much as I love Jerry Rice, even met him in person, really genuinely nice modest guy, while the 49ers had other good defensive backs in 94, none of them were Deion, none of them took a side of the field away. You need an advantage like that when facing the golden arm of Brett Favre. They needed to pay Deion! His presence alone in the secondary, allows the likes of Merton Hanks, Tim McDonald, Eric Davis, to blanket everybody else, or gives your safeties the flexibility to stack the line of scrimmage. The one season

NO. There NEVER HAS Been Or Will Be A better Quarterback than JOHN ELWAY. STRONGEST ARM, and Most Fun to Watch in NFL HISTORY- #7. Any negative comments on ELWAY are Nothing but Jealousy. Seen it All My Life and learned to live with it since the '80s

@@allengreene9954 well yea technically but who tf says that in professional football, it's known as the conference championship or afc/nfc championship.
