Key Playoff Position on the Line! (Broncos vs. Steelers 1997, Week 15) 

I loved this underrated game. Kordell Stewart was a good running quarterback who led the Steelers to the AFC Championship game where he met John Elway again, and John got payback in that game

These old NBC games are always nice

The Bus was something special to watch, hard downhill power runner we may not see ever again

Kordell and the 🚌 best duo ever!!! I remember when three rivers used to rock like that!

18:02 I miss stadiums that use to rock like that.

The bus was a beast

Yancey Thigpen- there’s a name I haven’t heard in years

The Bus swats them away like flies! Cowher was the ultimate players coach

That old astroturf was dangerous as hell

Willie Green looking at Rod Smith like, "That was my touchdown! What the f*ck Rod?!" 😆😆😆😆

John showing off that arm with a rocket to Rod Smith! Those were the days!

Carnell Lake I grew up in him and Rod Smith and Woodson

Action-packed from start to finish. This's one of those games where you wanted both teams to win because you liked both rosters. People always think of Big Ben and never remember the Slash era. Great great between two great warriors! Thanks for posting this!

The bus was a type of player we may never see again

Man I Wish That The Broncos Still Played Like They Did Then

Just one month later, not only did the Denver Broncos exact revenge against the Steelers in the AFC Championship game, NBC lost the AFC package to CBS the next day and wouldn’t air an NFL game until acquiring the Sunday Night package from ESPN in 2006.

The broncos ended up getting the last laugh in the end in the rematch

The 1995 AFC Championship game please🙏🏽

The Steelers ability to scout WR talent over the past 25 years....Miss you Yancey!

Howard Griffith talked about this game and said lavon Kirkland knocked him straight on his ass they met again in the afcchampionship and he finally decided to chop block lol

Anyone else remember this from America's Game?

Big #99 Levon Kirkland looking like a defensive lineman but as nimble as a DB

NBC really took a hit losing the NBA and NFL in the 2000s

Kordell Stewart walked so Lamar Jackson to run

Remember, Howard Griffith was scared to block Levon Kirkland in this game until he finally did it in the conference championship game..

This AFC Championship Game In My 1st Season As A Denver Broncos Football Fan

Denver would win the rematch and final AFC title and playoff game at three rivers en route to becoming the first AFC team to win it all since 83 Raiders.

The game where the broncos fullback got crush by a steeler line backer

Kordell stewart, if only he could have been more consistent because he had all the physical tool and creativity you could ask for. His accuracy just too streaky to get the Steelers to the Super Bowl

Glad to see some AFC North teams lately on the site. Of course it was different in 97

That theme sound hits.

This was the game where Cris Collinsworth claimed that Denver's fullback Howard Griffith was scared to block Steelers linebacker Devon Kirkland.

Man, if Pittsburgh had just committed to Kordell and not changed coordinators every year, I still think he'd have a real special quarterback.

23 Years Ago

Kordell Stewart was running around and connecting with long bombs. On that day he was playing like a young John Elway.

These are the only games you can watch....I'm not watching the shit on the field today.....

This is absolutely “back in the day” great NFL football. Didn’t need all that junk on the screen constantly to take your mind off of what you were watching. Just every once in a while they’d pop up the other scores then back to full screen action.

This is what we need the 2020 broncos to look like

I remember that football game very very well that was a heartbreaker for the Broncos

Great memory. 2 great teams. Great video. #kordellwasabeasttoo

God I loved Dick Enberg.

A rare matchup where both teams have not changed their uniforms in 24 years.

More videos from 97/98 pls. 🔥🙏🏼🤝

Can't believe this team never won a super bowl

This was a fun, unexpected season for the Steelers. Crazy how Kordell accounted for 32 TDs in 1997 as he caught the league off guard. Chan Gailey did a good job tailoring the offense to Stewart’s strengths but got too greedy in the AFC title game. Denver was so loaded. Look at the HOFs on this team: Elway, Davis, Smith, Sharpe, Zimmerman, Atwater. Not to mention other terrific pros like Tony Jones, Nalen, Neil Smith, Price, Romanowski, Mobley. I’m sure I’m forgetting some others. How in the world did Denver fit them all under the salary cap? In these days of TRS the Steelers had no money to keep more of their free agents. Denver got dinged in 1999 for cap circumvention and got docked draft picks IIRC. Smart move. Two SBs won.

Kordell pass at 6 mi s is AMAZINGLY Good! He was a great athlete! Shoulda been used better. If they woulda kept him at his 97 form, He woulda excelled way better! Like trying to make Marino a running QB

Not a fan of either teams, but the 1996-98 Broncos was a hell of a team

This denver team was the best wild card team ever

Elway missing that same blitz 3 times is interesting

Can’t wait for Steelers v broncos like 100 Sunday

Bro. The ads. You broke?

Was this the first season the Broncos played in those uniforms?

Broncos ended up getting the revenge game, and hot take, they will win on Sunday against the steelers also

Smashmouth football but still high scoring and potent offensive football. Good stuff.

See You On Sunday night Patriots Vs Seahawks 8:20pmET/5:20PT On NBC

Bettis was crazy

Slash v John Elway!

very up and down game for Rod Smith..he made a bunch of big plays but also a bunch of costly drops

The Steelers may have won the battle but Denver won the war

LMFAOOOO!!! That f-cking HOP HAHAHA!!! 11:15 LOLOLOLOL!!!!

1997 steelers should have went to the superbowl that year....

Th new squad need to look at old films

Steelers will win

Back when football was football and not a social justice movement. If only we had a real quarterback in the 90s

Levon Kirkland could lowkey haul ass 😂

Bruh those stands are MOVING 18:01

The Steelers ruined Kordell Stewart in 1998 when they tried to make him a pure passer, rather than just let him be slash and make plays. In 1997 Stewart was successful, because the Steelers didn't try to make him into a pass first quarterback. I think when Stewart revived his career in 2001, it was the same thing, the Steelers just let him be slash and not try to make him a pass first quarterback.

War damn eagle 🦅!

If this was playing with todays rules there be tons flags just in the tackling on the bus

Shannon Sharpe's mug shot. lol

R.i.p. dick end berg 1 of the greatest announcers ever😊

More pats please🙏🏽

Somebody kick #75 in the knees.. watch the elbow @8:54

Well, George Jones didn’t last long with PIT did he...

John Elway was a great quarterback but for some reason I just couldn't stand him

The Steelers won this battle. But the Broncos won the war.

Great win only to lose to them in the afc championship game.

But donkeys got revenge a few weeks later 😡

Broncos would've won

R.I.P Dick Enberg, Pat Summerall, and Frank Gifford.+ Crowds in NFL Stadiums Were into it back then, and it was more home team Than away team fans at home games now these days it's more away teams fans than home team fans at home games I wonder why it's like that?

Five weeks later, the Broncos got their revenge on that same field and earned a trip to the Super Bowl. After that, the rest was history.
