1998-01-11 AFC Championship Game Denver Broncos vs Pittsburgh Steelers

[walterlv]

A few years ago Elway was on a radio show I was listening to and he mentioned the sequence at the end of the first half of this game. Said after the Griffith TD they were happy if they could go into halftime ahead but after the Steelers mismanaged the clock on offense and Gordon ran that punt back 20 yards they thought "hey we can get another quick one here." They did and it turned out to be the difference in the game.

Can't ever have enough Johnny Ballgame! Thank you, Go Broncos!

I have this recorded on vhs tape still. Priceless video

[zachrizzo]

Last year NBC had the AFC games before CBS took it over

[joshuahansen]

I miss the old NFL, hits and officiating nowadays is too penalty heavy

[BuffaloWyoming]

Awe, yes! A game where defenses were allowed to cover and hit hard.

[EdmacZ]

Let the first sequence of plays sum up where this game was headed.

The Broncos handed the Steelers a gun who consistently shot themselves in the foot.

[brianbachmeier]

Offensively the turnovers hurt the Steelers but there was also a lack of playmaking on defense.
Gregg Lloyd on the sidelines and Rod Woodson in San Francisco.

[rrod]

Especially when Stewart there int by goal and romo mocked him pointing at his head.

[stevenjoyce]

The Steelers defense didn’t give up a single point In the 2nd half . To many mistakes by the offense in the second half . The difference in the end was a missed norm Johnson field goal in the 1st quarter.

There's not a single mma guy that wants to get in that scrum

[guydelaqua]

There's no weight classes in the nfl

Just image if Kordell Stewart made the super bowl.. im a broncos fan..

[donaldholderdoc]

The game that ended Kordel Stewart's career. Yeah, he played longer but never had any true success after this season. Directly responsible for 1 great play & 4 TURNOVERS. 2 in the Denver End Zone.

[americankulak]

Steeler Fan loves to complain about how Kordell Stewart lost him an AFC Championship, but that dude could flat ball. He was better than Michael Vick, yeah I said it. Vick had two or three good seasons in an offense geared toward his strengths. Kordell did the same despite being stuck in Bill Cowher's bass akwards pro-style offenses.

[rrod]

And how is Bill cowher hall of fame
His Steelers choked almost every afc championship they played in under him. That’s legendary now?

Same applies to overrated dungy.
