While at Cleveland Marty Schottenheimer developed a tradition of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory when playing Elway and the Broncos, then brought that tradition to Kansas City -- much to the delight of Broncos fans.
Listened to this game on the radio in our car. We were traveling from Colorado to Tennessee for vacation. We'd just left Kansas City when the Broncos won. I remember the KC announcers were pissed. lol Go Broncos!
Albert Lewis #29 of the Kansas City Chiefs Career Accomplishments Kansas City Chiefs (1983-1993) Los Angeles / Oakland Raiders (1994-1998) 4× Pro Bowl (1987-1990) 2× First-team All-Pro (1989, 1990) Lewis was a 3rd round draft pick (61st overall) by the Chiefs in the 1983 NFL Draft. He enjoyed a stellar career that spanned 16 seasons in which he recorded 42 interceptions, 12.5 sacks, 13 forced fumbles, 13 fumbles recoveries and 2 touchdowns. In addition to his standout play on defense, Lewis blocked a stunning 11 kicks in 11 seasons with the Chiefs.
Steve Atwater #27 of the Denver Broncos Career Accomplishments Denver Broncos (1989-1998) New York Jets (1999) 8x Pro Bowl selection 4x All-Pro selection 3 Super Bowl appearances 2x Super Bowl champion 1989 All-Rookie Team 1990's All-Decade Team Pro Football Hall of Fame selection He was instrumental in getting the Broncos their first Super Bowl victory. In fact, some would argue he could have been the Most Valuable Player in Super Bowl XXXII. His play was nothing short of stellar. He was credited with six solo tackles, one sack, a forced fumble and two passes defensed. Furthermore, his big plays came at the times when the Broncos needed them most. He sacked Brett Favre and forced a fumble when Terrell Davis was sitting out the second quarter due to a migraine. He batted down a pass at the line while blitzing that was intended for a wide open Green Bay receiver. Finally, during the Packers frantic charge in the final minutes, Atwater broke up a pass with a collision so fierce two players where knocked out. Had those plays not been made it is possible the Packers could have won the game.
@@joshb20101 Elway may have complained about those years, but his true greatness was only made manifest BECAUSE he endured those seasons in the late 80's and early 90's.
One memory of watching that game was of the fans that left the stadium when Denver was down 19-6, then many of them tried to get back in the stadium when the Broncos rallied.
Another great comeback game by Elway and his teammates. This was a time when football was exciting and fun, not like it is now.. "celebrity entertainment".
1992 marked the end of a terrible passing period in Elway’s career that started in ‘88. Thankfully Fassell and then Shanny resurrected his career starting in ‘93.
John Elway never had a terrible passing period in his career....his numbers were just mediocre, but that had to do with what was around him. He made some of the greatest throws in NFL history during that span.
Sickening to watch the fans leaving the game with 5 minutes left to play with John behind center anything is possible and it became so. We had season tickets back then in the nosebleed seats and watched the comeback.
@@jle4433 With most teams, most of the time, leaving would have made perfect sense. Only a handful of qbs...Elway, Staubach, and Montana...were consistently dangerous enough in the 4th quarter to justify such faith on the part of the fans...
2:19:15 I didn’t remember about the Arthur Marshall Punt Return until I just saw it again. I remembered the last 2 TDS in visual memory, but not this important part. Also AM makes first 2 catches on final drive immediately after his big return. Arthur Marshall & Shannon Sharpe we’re both exciting young players at this point in time, unfortunately only one of them worked out long term. Arthur Marshall has a few moments that live on though.
I think he had the same problem that Elway had in those Super Bowls....he and his qb were the reason they got there, in the first place...Reeves put smart, well prepared teams on the field who could be counted on not to beat themselves...this tended to keep games close, even against more talented clubs...and then Elway's playmaking would tend to be decisive. That combination got them a lot of wins. Trouble was, it wouldn't be adequate if the other team was a lot more talented. So Elway and Reeves got excoriated for losing Super Bowls, when I don't know if any qb and coach ever dragged a mediocre team so far...
@@jle4433 I found those losses kind of weird. The first, against the Giants, I thought Elway actually had a good game, individually, considering the caliber of that defense. The one I've never understood was the collapse against Washington, though. I've heard Elway say the same thing. For a defense to give up 5 tds in a quarter to a quarterback who had never been much more than average, and a running back who could barely hold a job in the league...but for that one quarter, Denver's defense made them look like Joe Montana and Walter Payton! I've never seen anything like that 2nd quarter collapse...It mystifies me to this day...
Right there on 0:33. The Chargers went from 0-4 to 11-5 won the division and made the playoffs in the first time in 10 years. The Broncos didn't even make the playoffs at 8-8. Dan Reeves would lose his job and Wade Phillips would take over.
Dan Reeves would go to the Giants the next year but wouldn’t face his old team until 1997 with the Falcons. Eventually he gave up wearing the suit on the sidelines too.
Chiefs messed up in every conceivable way in last 5 minutes of game clock time. I won’t even hold it against them for not “taking a safety” on the punt despite it being a good idea. I could see how that could get lost in the game mgmt. Besides that though ... False start on 3rd and 3 on second to last drive. Next play Barry Word going out of bounds. Dale Carter returning the kickoff from the 2 yd line. Finally, the play calling & execution after starting off final drive with 30 yd pass getting them close to FG range.
At 59:47 Dennis Smith climbs all over the receiver (#86, Willie Davis, I think) to slap away a pass. The Broncos and their fans (of course) hated the interference call. But, what chaps my ass is the announcers declaring that the call is wrong. Of course Todd Christensen - a career long Raider - would cry "bad call" - he was a Raider, but one would think Charley Jones - a broadcaster without organizational affiliations would be more objective. It was clear that Smith's only goal was to break up the pass, otherwise he would have been lower and had both arms extended. It's rare for me to defend an official's call in professional football but, in my opinion, there has rarely been a more egregious case of pass interference in the NFL. And I would like to pint out that there are at least dozens of calls where the defender had far less contact with a receiver and was called without comment.
Pass interference has always been a racket. They give the referee way too much leeway in terms of what gets called and what doesn't. I still recall that Saints game where the throw was out in the flat to a wide open guy....so the defender closed in and just outright TACKLED him before the ball ever got there...and there was no flag. Then you see a guy's hand lightly brush up against the receiver, and they call it...I, personally, wish they'd judge pass receivers the same way they call the line of scrimmage...let the guys hit, and push, and fight it out, and ONLY throw the flag in cases of obvious holding. Otherwise, let the cbs and receivers fight it out, and let the best man win. That wouldn't be perfect, either, but it would take the ref out of the result as much as possible.
Marty schottenheimer should have never been a head coach, not on a pro level that’s why he didn’t win in Cleveland or Kansas City or Washington DC or San Diego he was awful!
Is that why he took every team he had to a winning season? He was one of the greatest coaches. He took three different franchises and turned them into winners. The same thing was once said about Andy Reid.
At ironbeatyfly do you have the 1991 week6 football game between Denver broncos at Houston oilers game can you upload that game if you have that game and 1991 week16 Houston oilers at Cleveland browns games upload that game if you have those two games on your list from Joe wanke to Joe wanke
Great audio & video for 92’ along with a fantastic game. Charlie Jones play by play 🔥

29:38 - Throws like that are what enabled Dave Krieg to last *19 years* in the NFL. Not bad for someone who was never drafted.
Out of a college that doesn't even exist anymore
I liked the Tuna on TV. I almost forgot he had been on NBC until this clip.

This game still makes me smile. Love those Elway comebacks!
John Elway didnt
@@joshb20101 who did it?

4th quarter OG comeback kid 😁 and could run and smile in your face with his Mr Ed teeth.Elway a true Football legend.😊

That happens a lot nowadays. I was at the game the Jets came back to beat the Dolphins on MNF in 2000. Exact same situation
Another great comeback game by Elway and his teammates. This was a time when football
was exciting and fun, not like it is now.. "celebrity entertainment".
Thank you for tbe memories. GO BRONCOS!
Fuck Denver bitch
Old school NFL Live Halftime report!
Marty's Mile High jinx had reached epidemic proportions at this point.
Nah, the NFL is fixed and they wouldn’t let him win against Elway most of the time especially when it mattered most.
@@frankfurlacker5219 Marty usually lost to Denver because Elway made plays that nobody else can make. Nobody orchestrated that, because nobody COULD.
Man I remember this game! I was living in Denver at the time!!! Great come back win!!!!!!!!!
I was living in Monterrey México.
I was a recent college graduate living in Virginia, but still rooting for the Broncos!
I'm shocked a Chiefs fan account put this game up when one realizes how it ended.
Go Broncos, best fans in the World!
Denver needs to return to these colours. They must!!
This game is better then tonight's game ( Atlanta verse Philadelphia )

He dropped the ball. I think that was the luckiest break in NFL history.
Ed Hochuli: The Lean Years.
Man, that pass to Sharpe at 1:36:50 was f'ing awesome!
Reeves was a very underrated coach. Sure, he choked badly in all of his SB appearances, but his teams were always competitive.
I think he had the same problem that Elway had in those Super Bowls....he and his qb were the reason they got there, in the first place...Reeves put smart, well prepared teams on the field who could be counted on not to beat themselves...this tended to keep games close, even against more talented clubs...and then Elway's playmaking would tend to be decisive.

the NFL of 1992: defensive backs could do things they can only dream of today. That's why Elway's passing numbers were so mediocre.

In first six minutes one of the announcers uses the word “exemplify” at least three different times.
