I actually watched this entire game the same way I did when it came on that Sunday in 1989, real grass, snow, good solid tackling, etc. That was football boy!!🏈
Foootball died when they began tearing down the football and baseball stadiums, and began building these luxury stadiums that only hold either football or baseball only. You began to see more vandalism than ever, like the home team’s “mark” in the end zones and at the 50 yard line all colorful and distracting. If not that, you see advertisements everywhere more than ever before
@@juanparty even if they were, it didn’t matter. It was the late 1980s when football was STILL football. Today, it’s reality television set to the context of football
I especially miss the old dual-purpose football and baseball “cookie cutter” stadiums and places like Mile High, which would later be the home field for the Rockies when they entered the national league. To look at Mile High, it doesn’t look like they would be able to convert it to baseball, but they did
Oh… and I remember getting John Elway Football for NES the following June in ‘89 for my 11th birthday. But even by NES standards, the game kind of sucked… but still a memorable classic, nontheless
Exactly I always relate the fall of America with what sports is doing right now it's nothing but a bunch of soft pansies that want to cry racism and victimhood as they're making $40 million a year it's hard to even watch this was when America was great if people want to know when they say make America great again or whatever when was America great right here 1989 America was great we were at our peak there was no racial problems nobody talked about this stuff in sports it was not even an issue and now that's all you hear about is race this race that discrimination is discrimination that I can't stand it nobody's discriminate against anybody unless it's white people get discriminated against but this was awesome
Also this was when the AFC was like the JV League to the NFC to this day because they lost those 14 super bowls in a row I always think of the AFC as inferior to the NFC even though now they're basically equal lol I have never been able to shake that because I grew up with the AFC being so weak and they weren't actually weak at the top because the Buffalo bills were awesome they just for some reason couldn't win those games but they were an awesome football team but those bronco teams were basically just John elway against the other 53 players that's why they got killed lol
Yes!!! I wasn’t a fan of either team, but knew it was an important game to watch. I remember seeing this play and flying off the couch in excitement. Late 80’s. CBS. Madden/Summerall. The best!!
Thanks for the hard work to get this uploaded. This was on my 15th birthday and it was a family tradition to decorate for Christmas every year on that day. My mom had an old Victorian-style living room and didn't want a TV in there, but I begged her to let me move the little B&W from the kitchen so I could watch and decorate at the same time. This game was really hyped up in New York and I didn't want to miss it. Turned out to be a classic! Stupid Flipper Anderson ruined an otherwise fun season.
@@ProspectFilmRoom thanks, was doing the same thing that day. People overlook how good the 1989 team was. Just couldn’t handle the Eagles and Rams for some reason.
This was great. I even enjoyed watching the commercials. It’s a time that will never be experienced again. When America and football were awesome. The best two announcers ever!!
Portable heaters on the sidelines and the World Trade Center in the picture for the New York Football Giants players. That really captures the time and era perfectly.
Watching these old games from the 80's and comparing to today's league, it's almost like watching 2 different sports. The style of play is so different. The NFL was such a run heavy-play action pass-stop the run, league back then.
It was more run oriented (this is 89 but it REALLY got moreso 1990-1993) but still back then it felt more balanced than todays video game track meet NFL that's trying to phase out big hitting
I REMEMBER THIS GAME!!! I just got back from my brother's campus at Rutgers, and I saw Bobby Humphries get creamed at the Line By Gary Reasons!!!14-7 and boy, what a GAME!!!!
No one can Replace the Voices of PAT SUMMERAL and JOHN MADDEN. Just ask the BROTHERS in Hood in Palm Beach county. Chicken 🐔 wings and cold Wine on a Sunday afternoon.
Fantastic TD run after the short pass from Simms, Megett had a ton of them his rookie year (1989). Several punt return touchdowns, runs from scrimmage, pass receptions. Him and Eric Metcalf of Cleveland both similar players and both having great rookie seasons in 89.
In hindsight (which is 20/20 of course), the Giants should've taken the safety after the Reasons' hit. By punting out of the end zone, they gave the Broncos great field position and therefore their only TD of the game.
Denver played the Giants tough for 2 1/2 games between 86 and 89. 86 regular season Denver lost by 3 on a last second FG this game and people forget Denver was up 10 9 at half in SB 21. It was only the second half of the Super Bowl where Denver got blown out.

Games like this just give the lie to the idea that the Broncos and Bills etc. didn't win Super Bowls because they didn't play good defense. They just met teams that were that much better. This Denver defense got lit up for 55 points in the Super Bowl that year.
two teams that love shotgun on 3rd down. its when the videogames start to evolve and u can see it in the games ... performed at a high level ...bears 9ners redskins not so much ...
NFL on CBS in the 80s was just golden man.
Brings back the fondest memories!
Totally. It set the standard for me.
Those. Opening. Titles. ❤❤❤
Summerall and Madden were really the gold standard.
All sports on CBS. NBA too.
Boy how I miss those days
NOTHING better than NFL from 86 to 93. Everything was better. CBS was and still is my fav
Perfect call on a classic game. Today’s NFL announcing teams fall far short of Pat & John.

@@chandlervatavuk9513 Actually it was a jaw pad.
I will always remember that hit delivered by Reasons. The one and only time I spent the money for an authentic game Jersey. No. 55 Reasons
Pat Summerall and John Madden were the best broadcasters in NFL history!!! Loved listening to and watching their games. Boom!!!!
2:18:20...quite simply, The Hit. Not a Giants fan, but one of the best plays in NFL history.
Either the ear piece from a helmet or a mouth piece went flying.
What a launch!!! Unfortunately, these days that would be a 15-yard penalty and possible ejection for leading with the crown. This was real football!!

As a Giants fan, when it snows like that in Denver, blizzard like conditions, it's extremely hard to not only win,but to play in.
The setting is appropriate for a late season game complete snow
To think that this game took place in the final weeks of the best decade of my life and maybe others too, was good to reminisce.

Giants D always had their A game and John Elway laser passes impresive havent seen something like him since
The great old days it almost brings a TEAR
Amen to that. The 1980s certainly was great for all things in life.

John Madden and Pat Summerall calling the game.
.... football at its best.
Madden and Summeral best duo👍
Verne Lundquist and Terry Bradshaw was good as well
With so many people watching RedZone on Sundays, the notion of legendary announcers like Pat and John kinda goes by the wayside.
Pat n madden are these best to ever do it!
I remember this game. This is where the Giants had that huge goaline stop on defense which decided the game if I remember correctly
Goal line not goaline

Why does the games feel more exciting than today?
injuries derailed what could have been a HOF career for Bobby Humphrey. He was a very good back.
@2:17:54, Maddens commentary then the 4th play....
Incredible!
I was home sick from Church for this game. I slept through most of it. It's just as well. The Broncos would have made me sicker.
Love the Reasons hit of course, but that punt and tackle by Thompson at the end of game I also have not forgot about.
One of the best football theme songs EVER!
2:16:00 The greatest goal line stand of all time! 💙💙💙
Ah, this was one game when Elway couldn't pull off one of his patented comebacks late in the fourth quarter. Kay almost caught the ball for the TD!
This game was a lot of fun to be at, even with the L. Can't say that about many losses.
