My father and I at 10yo strapped the Charger chair to the roof of the van that afternoon and drove down to the Murph to receive the team at the stadium. What a magical evening and Junior coming out to tell the fans they weren't done was awesome!!! Great times!
I got too drunk while watching the game to make the trip to Murph with all my friends. It was a West Coast morning game and the Bloody Marys took me out.
Upvote if you saw this game live, when it happened... That was such an inspiring and gritty performance. Natrone Means, Ronnie Harmon, Alfred Pupunu, Junior Seau, Gil Byrd, Leslie O'neal, Humphreys and Jefferson...that was an incredible team, that went into hostile territory - and brought home the win. Those towels became 'terrible crying towels'.
I remmeber this like yesterday, greatest bolt moment in history.... Hacksaw screaming CAUGHT@!@@@@ TOUCHDOWN SANDIEGO! on that Tony Martin TD will never be beaten in my eyes.
When Gibby knocked that ball down, my whole family was jumping for joy. It was a wonderful moment. I went to the Q to welcome them back. Sadly, no more San Diego Chargers today. But this win will always be for San Diego.
Remember like it was yesterday!! CELEBRATING AT A PACKED “MURPH” to welcome the team back from Pittsburgh!! The only feeling I can describe it to, as a LIFELONG S.D. Fan is when STATE WON THAT FINAL FOUR GAME!!
I remember this game when I lived in Oklahoma. All of the talk was about how the Chargers were a warm weather team and wouldn't have a chance playing in Pittsburgh. IIRC, it was 74 deg and Cowher was like, WHAT the HELL! But then, the Chargers didn't have a chance because of Deion!
Any team would have been destroyed by the 49ers that day. They were unstoppable that year. It doesn't diminish what we accomplished by reaching the Super Bowl in a year where we were picked to finish last in our division.
January 15, 1995. I was 13 years old and in 8th grade at Twin Peaks Middle School. I'm 43 now, and this is still the greatest sports memory of my life. Thank you for including the radio calls from that day. Hearing Jim Laslavic crying tears of joy in the background after the pass knockdown by Dennis Gibson is something I won't forget. He symbolized how we all were feeling at that moment.
Awesome Day… went to the Stadium to Welcome the Team… it was even raining a bit but No Once Cared… .. Sad to say Bobby Ross stopped coaching in the Super Bowl… like the whole Team just gave up… he never went back to coaching after that game… The outcome of the game could have been predetermined by the elites to cover the spread …
Stan Humphries, Natrone Means, Seau, Rodney Harrison, Seay, Martin, Griggs, Gibson, Pupuno.... Great year. It was magical when Elway fumbled the pass into Seau's hands. And Humphries to Martin for 99 yards, and then....... Humphries left elbow..... San Diego went on to the SB.................................. Thank God the NFL is rigged now because thats the only way LA can ever have a history like San Diego.
Let's continue to show the team some love. I thought the NFL did the team a HUGE disservice - by not letting them be the Southern California Chargers... The Carolinas have the Panthers. New England has the Patriots. You can have teams identify with-, and play for- an entire region... So why not the Chargers, too? At the time of 'the move', large portions of their fanbase were in the IE, Orange and LA counties. If they could have split games for a while between Jack Murphy and the bandbox in Dominguez Hills, calling themselves the SoCal Chargers - it would have assuaged a lot of hard feelings. Oh well. I live up here, so I'm happy to have them. But I went to school down there, and still come down to visit on surf trips...So I have a lot of positive feelings about America's Finest City.
@@anotherworldviewispossible I was a 25 year season ticket holder. I blame the Spanos and the City of San Diego. If Spanos sold the team and stayed in LA, I would think about supporting them. SD LA or OC.
@@cuwsteve Open your heart. Dean has finally put together a winning front office and coach. Let past wounds and injuries heal. I think we should all move forward into a brighter future... That's just my two cents. Much Respect - from Venice.
@@anotherworldviewispossible "Open your heart" you crack me up. We had several good front offices. Spanos is a puke and he will never win. I want him to sell. I supported Spanos for decades. How do you feel when that they play all away games.....crowd is at least 80% the visiting team. Spanos chased the money and screwed SD fans, 50K strong. I do like Harbaugh.
@@cuwsteve Dean Spanos just hired the best leadership combo since Beathard (whom I knew, as a bodysurfer) and Ross. I'm frustrated with the way that we got here - but I want to move forward in a dominant and united fashion. Who knows what the future will hold for the Raisin kings, once they have a valuable and winning asset, that could make them a bunch of money were they to sell it, or take-on additional investors ... For sure, they were trying to get by, doing things on the cheap, for years... LT made the hall of fame, but didn't get the Jewelry he deserved. I'm well aware of the lack of response of the LA fans... It was never a problem for me, personally, as I mentioned, I've supported the team since the days of Dan Henning. LA is a town that loves a winner. Right now you can hear all of the broken legs happening - as people jump off the Rams' bandwagon. This time next year, we should have at least an AFC Champion, if not a Lombardi trophy... Seats will be hard to come by, at that point. I'd suggest forgetting about the owner - and looking at the Team and Fanbase (that's growing as we speak). I know from time spent in "The Jungle" (on "the Nifty 650"), that Lo-Cal kinda hates SoCal... And SoCal barely notices... It's like the classic story of Big and Little brothers. Let's not make this a Cain and Abel tale... Let's work together, and all get onboard for the big win. This New Team has tremendous upside, and a whole lot of young talent. ALT and Slater, Mack, Bosa and Tuli...Morgan Fox. This team has the tools to win, down in the trenches.
So then build them a house... But San Diegans were more hyped for Comicon, at the time. Maybe overlook the City designation - and think of them as the Southern California Chargers.
‘94 was a good year. RIP #55 ⚡️
‘95 started out badly 26-49 never forget!!!

Great video from the vault.. Looking forward to more vintage classics like this!!
Watched this live as a former Chargers fan, and that call after the 4th down play Chargers announcers: "Aawgleron!!!!!" Classic Hacksaw and team call.
Yes, sweet memories of San Diego.
I was born in San Diego and lived there during this time. Amazing times , will never forget it!!
I still think that Natrone Means has the coolest name in NFL history.
Natrone Means Business!
To me, he is/was my favorite RB in the NFL. I have his jersey and Seau’s.
When Gibby knocked that ball down, my whole family was jumping for joy. It was a wonderful moment. I went to the Q to welcome them back. Sadly, no more San Diego Chargers today. But this win will always be for San Diego.
Tony Martin TD was so unreal. Love this team 😃🦾🤗
That was awesome!!!! San Diego Super Chargers!!!
Stan Humphries. The only charger QB to do it. Let’s go herbie, it’s your turn
What a blast it was at the Murph later that nite when Team returned from Pitt - Al PooPoo knew
Been waiting for far too long to have this feeling again . C’mon Harbaugh take us back to the Super Bowl and win it ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
"The Chargers are going to the Super Bowl! The Lightning Bolt is going to the big show!" My god do I want to hear those words live.
Remember like it was yesterday!! CELEBRATING AT A PACKED “MURPH” to welcome the team back from Pittsburgh!! The only feeling I can describe it to, as a LIFELONG S.D. Fan is when STATE WON THAT FINAL FOUR GAME!!
That was such a fun time.
I remember this game
Who remembers the Miami game a week earlier??
Epic!
I got so drunk watching this game.
90s were the best decade
I was 11 years old .. best day ever
@@miguelberumen558I was 13 and an 8th grader at Twin Peaks. Unbelievable memories.
Amen i only remember as far back as 1995 super bowl though unfortunately
Stan was the man!
Lee “Hacksaw” Hamilton voice of the SAN DIEGO Chargers! I was 14 when this game was played.
I was 13
@@bobbyblends_ Same here. I was an 8th grader at Twin Peaks Middle School.
RIP Junior Seau and David Griggs
Golden BOLT years of the 90's
Loved Hacksaw Hamilton

“The Chargers are going to the Super Bowl” sounds so good
Will never forget the moment that gibson blocked that pass how my whole street roared
Remember this like it was yesterday!!! GOOD TIMES!!!
I remember my mom crying with joy because the Chargers were going to the Super Bowl…and then they got destroyed by the 49ers 🙄
My daughter was concieved after this game
And u named her Terry Bradshaw.
Btw...Any player that got smacked & hit by this Legend of a Player...All victims would ughhh...
Say OW! #55
Jr. SEAU!!!🙌
Lee Hacksaw Hamilton folks
Show me your lightning bolt!
Sure... But not in a Gay bar...
I hope we go to the Super Bowl this year
Only to be trounced in the first quarter in the super bowl. Please Jim Harbaugh, bring us our first.
The trouncing was gradual, really, score was 14-7 at the end of the first, but you knew the defense couldn't stop the Niners.
Any team would have been destroyed by the 49ers that day. They were unstoppable that year. It doesn't diminish what we accomplished by reaching the Super Bowl in a year where we were picked to finish last in our division.
Nostalgic
Social media team still allergic to typing the words "San Diego"
Way to be inclusive.
Yes, I noticed that too. Douchebag move.

This was the San Diego Chargers, not this LA crap. The Chargers belong in San Diego.
So then build them a house... But San Diegans were more hyped for Comicon, at the time.
