The Colts and Steelers championship game was a heavyweight bout . I remember watching this game on NBC on WPXI. The city went crazy when they went back to the Super bowl. And the cowboys game was awesome too.
This Colts team is still the biggest Cinderella story in NFL history they was a hail Mary away from going to the Superbowl that almost was a catch and it was great for Ted marchuleta and Jim Harbaugh comeback seasons
krlm2280 it was 95 was the best Colts season besides the 2007 super bowl season with Peyton manning. If they had instant replay.......but I still have my 95-96 Indy Colts home blue Harbaugh jersey " Captain Comeback".
Diljabar and to win the Super Bowl as they became the 1st team to Win 3 Super Bowls in 4 seasons and the last of good times for the " Triplets" Cowboys should won more if Jimmy hadn't left 😔. I miss these Cowboys so much they played with heart,
@@jasonwalker9091 Those Cowboys were real formidable, with good leadership within their frontline guys. If free agency and the salary cap didn't comes along (even without Jimmy Johnson, but better off with him), they likely would've lasted longer.
Lets not forget the PI against Kordell....Colts db hit Stewart early thus negating a sure TD so it evened out......You can't just look at the plays that went against you while not looking at the plays that went in your favor....
The Colts came that close to being just the second 9-7 team to reach the Super Bowl. There have been 3 such teams as of the end of the 2020 season. The 1979 Rams and 2008 Cardinals both got to the Super Bowl but only the 2011 Giants have ever won it all with fewer than 10 wins in a 16 game season. Those Giants are also the only team to win the Super Bowl despite having a negative point differential during the regular season. Both the 2007 and 2011 Giants are in the mix for the worst team to win the Super Bowl, but they did it twice with a lot of the same players. They were great at pulling out tight games under pressure which leads me to believe they had a strong faith and trust in each other.
Whats really amazing is both those 9-7 teams (79 Rams & 08 Cards)--guess who they played in the Super Bowl? Yup, the Pittsburgh Steelers....and of course this 9-7 team obviously played Pitt...I am a lifelong Steelers fan and just being honest but it took somewhat miraculous efforts to beat those 9-7 teams...every darn one of them...Pretty crazy when you break it down.....ALL were GREAT n I mean GREAT games!!!!!!!
Three plays...4:34, Willie Williams with a spectacular tackle on Lamont Warren that would've kept the time ticking and forced Pittsburgh to burn timeouts. 4:46...Quentin Coryatt with the sure game ending INT, and can't hang on. And of course, 6:46...Aaron Bailey, SO CLOSE to the Hail Mary to end all Hail Mary's. BTW...would Ernie Mills' catch have been good under the rules of recent years?
And....Kordell Stewart stepped out of bounds on that TD in the first half. Obviously, we don't know what happens if the call is made correctly but the Steelers got a major break there.
@@bentipton1331 It made up for an interference on him in the first half on a sure TD when the Colt hit him before the ball was there. Plus, he wasn't out of bounds when he caught it he just had stepped out and came back in but the ref missed it. At least Pittsburgh had the defense to slow Emmit to 49 yds, Aikman to 209 and Irvin to 76 in the SB XXX and make it a game. Colts would have been blown out by halftime
Between the phantom touchdown, the Willie Williams shoestring tackle, the Coryatt near-interception, the near sack on that 4th and 3, AND the Hail Mary that Bailey would've had if he'd just moved his arms like an inch after the ball got in his lap... the Colts got as close as you can get to winning a game without actually winning.
@@Price70 Believe it or not, I think that Colts team was a better matchup for those Cowboys. Not as much talent, but harder to gameplan for. I think the Colts would've gotten closer than you think.
@@RySenkari The Steelers basically beat Dallas. The 2 interceptions to Larry Brown were both miscommunication between O'Donnell and his WRs. That's why Larry Brown the corner was by himself both times.
Dallas would lose in the second round the very next year to Carolina. I'm a Dallas fan, but I've always wandered why that Cowboys team is never thought of as a biggest one-year drop off of all time. Age, I guess. But wouldn't Troy and Emmitt both go on to play 4 or 5 more years?
Nick Phillips Few factors. After Super Bowl 28, Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones got into a dispute on control of the team, and Jerry mouth wanted more say,and Jimmy left to be on the NFL on FOX in 1994, and hired Barry Swizter in the March of 1994 and Cowboys players and fans wasn't happy that Jimmy left,and it wasn't the same they made it back to the Championship game in 1994 with the 49ers for the 3rd time and got dethroned, then lost of lot of key free agents like Alvin Harper who went to Tampa bay and Ken Norton Jr ( left in 1993) to be on the 49ers and others, In 1995, controversy on and off field became a tailspin and even they captured their 3rd title in Super Bowl in 4 seasons they wasn't strong as early on,In 1996 they woke up with a hungover with Irvin being suspended 4 games, Leon Lett getting suspended again for the 2nd time later in the Season and didn't play in 1997, and the sexual assault case involving Erik Williams and Irvin the same week they were going to play Carolina and in 95,96 remember watching football and being very old school they started to struggle ( EX: 1995 2nd meeting between the Redskins,losing twice to them, going into Philadelphia in one of major upsets of 95 of the " 4th Down and Dumb game and barely getting past the Giants) In 1996, Week 1 they got destroyed by the bears on Monday Night Football, they survived a scare with the Falcons in Dallas, lose in the final seconds with the Eagles in Week 10, they rallied late to squeak in, and thanks to the Redskins 7-2 collapse, beat the Vikings and got their card pulled in Charlotte territory of a very dangerous Carolina Panthers team and being undefeated at Erriscon Stadium, in 1997 the damage had been done you can tell in preseason when they played the Rams at Texas Stadium, Troy Aikman was frustrated at Barry and everybody and after the Packers blowout in Green Bay, the loss on Thanksgiving with the Tennessee Oilers and they cashed in their chips and it wasn't fun anymore, the good times were ending Espically in the finale with Michael Irvin crying on the sidelines at the end of the Giants game and going 6-10,in Dallas the party's over.
96 team beat both super bowl teams and probably would have won if irvin played the whole game... They were still just as strong only dropped off cause irvin missed the first 5 games that year. They went 2-3 without him. 8-2 with him and rested guys week 17.
They didn't have the "going to the ground" philosophy back then. So if that happened in the middle of the field it would have been a fumble. Definitely incomplete today.
@Blue Skeptic No, still in effect, but they're not as ticky-tack when determining loss of possession and they're not as broad in determining "going to the ground".
If it weren't for the green bay packers in the 95 NFL championship playing and beating the sf 49ers the Cowboys probably wouldn't have been able to make it to super bowl XXX
Best season in NFL history. Chris Berman and Tom Jackson on NFL Countdown. Man do I miss those days.
How that colts team beat the chiefs and almost the Steelers without Marshall Faulk was unbelievable

To date the last NFC championship appearance by the Cowboys

Final game at Texas Stadium with the iconic endzone/turf design of the 80s-mid 90s
Chris and Tom and Joe what a group !
As a Cowboy fan thanks for more winning vidz for us
Lamont Warren is still running if Wiilie Williams doesn't make the shoestring tackle. There wasn't a Steeler within 20 yards of him.
Glad I'm not the only person who noticed that.
20:37 Really missed the "Inside The Numbers" for Primetime!! Including this music cue they played right now.
And suddenly I'm back in the 4th grade.
Missing Greg Lloyd dropping the f-bomb in locker room speech :)))
J-F Pilote OMG I remember that speech, maybe Mike Tomlin need to watch some old school highlights on real ads Steelers Like Greg Lloyd!!!!
This was the year The Chiefs were supposed to go to the SuperBowl but lost to Indy
Paul Z They were the " lucky" team in 1995,
Ernie Mills- One of the Mills Brothers
I remember the Sports Illustrated cover “Good Till The Last Drop”. Man, the Colts got screwed because that Stewart TD should’ve never counted.
Ernie Mills “catch” to put Pittsburgh on the 2 yard line shouldn’t have counted either ... dropped it when he hit the ground
@@Born8etter thats a new rule, catch was legal in 95
@@shag688 it was bullshit then it was bullshit when the Cowboys receiver “caught” the TD pass in super bowl 12 against the Broncos ..

So they gave a fit on a missed call against dallas but skim over pittsburgh getting a bogus td...
Marshall Faulk was hurt but had he been playing
Happy 25th anniversary
That block by Eric Williams was flat dirty.

Warren and Coryatt both were going to the house on those plays too. Colts would've been up by 10, Steelers would've had no chance.
Ernie Mills was so underrated.
Colts should of won that game
Jamell Shaw absolutely. Dude caught that td out of bounds.

The 1st of many big games harbaugh has lost
Man so true
Harbaugh does seem to lose the ones that count
One inch from cowher being 0-5 in home afc title games
Wish we could get the whole game. C'mon NFL.
Nick Phillips they put up the 1994 game but this game was better than that game.
NFL are assholes they expect us to watch this pussified era. Fuck them and Goodell, I rather watch true real old school NFL all day.
@@jasonwalker9091 Yeah but kickers missed so much back then I couldn't even watch NFL nowadays kickers make It look easy.
@@jasonwalker9091 They don't expect us to watch the NFL If you don't want to watch It then don't not that hard.
gee another bad call in 3 rivers.. 🙄
DALLAS COWBOYS TEDDYT's MUSIC CHANNEL It was a " Sign " of god. One of the classic games of 1995
Colts gave game away
Pat Verbeek scores two goals to pull the Rangers from a 3-1 deficit as they tied the St Louis Blues 3-3.
