Hands down, the biggest upset in the NFL since I've started watching. A second year expansion team goes in to Mile High and beats the Broncos, something only the battle hardened Steelers (who still had multiple members of the dynastic 70's teams on the roster) had ever done a dozen years earlier. NO ONE saw this coming and anyone that tries to claim otherwise is a bold faced liar. This was supposed to be, in the words of Rex Ryan, a rat kill. Instead, Mark Brunell undressed that solid Broncos defense after spotting them 12 points. It was so surgical, you would've thought THEY were the favorites. I always point back to this game as the line of delineation from the 'old NFL' of my youth where the regular season favorites just worked their way through the playoffs to the 'new NFL' where just getting in meant you had a shot.
Long term wise, this loss was the best thing that could happen to the Broncos. I believe if they won here, they would've eventually gotten smoked by the Packers in SB XXXI. This loss gave them that extra hunger the next year in winning it all.
so good...so good...we all so muvh enjoyed this great game by brunell...how we all enjoyed and partied all nite....yes, bucktooth won it all next year, but remember, bucktooth never woulda won without davis and smith....
Nothing like watching Denver games on tv during the 80s and early 90s . At Mile High Stadium when the screen would shake due to the crowd noise . Their stadium they have today can't compare
Yea then they changed to there new uniforms in 1997 and won back to back superbowls and got rid of the superbowl curse and elway and got 2 superbowl rings but he shoulda had 4 rings.
@@graciemaemarie11jones16 The Broncos went to 5 Super Bowls with Elway, not including this blown year where they probably should've gone to the Super Bowl.
I'm sure many would disagree with me, but I still feel this year's squad was the most dominant Denver Broncos team we ever fielded. This upset stung like an electric eel.
tiff hansen And now the Oakland raiders are now the Las Vegas Tratiors! They will always be Oakland/L.A. Raiders to us old school same with San Diego Chargers !
Forgotten subplot of this game- the Denver weather on conference championship Sunday was below 0: high of 11.2, low of 0.4 Had the Broncos won, the Patriots would have had to play in below zero temperatures at night (Green Bay couldn’t have hosted the late game since the weather was barely better for a noon start at Lambeau).
This wasn’t the biggest playoff upset by point spread but it might’ve been the most shocking outcome in history. The Broncos rolled to a 13-2 record and clinched the one seed before resting players in a week 17 loss to San Diego. They were the best team in the AFC all season and they had John Elway. Meanwhile, the Jaguars got off to a 3-6 start thanks to a 1-5 record in games decided by one possession. They would then win 8 straight one score games after this one. 6 of them were by 3 points or less. They came back to defeat Baltimore twice in 3 weeks after trailing by double digits in the 4th quarter. Morton Anderson missed a game winning 30 yard FG that would’ve kept them out of the playoffs entirely. They were down 7 in the 4th quarter to the playoff tested Bills. Mark Brunell shook off a pick 6 in the 4th and led the Jaguars on 2 scoring drives to win the game the week before this one. The AFC championship was much closer than the 20-6 final score would suggest. Jacksonville was done in by turnovers and special teams errors. A blocked punt set up New England at the Jaguars 4 yard line to start the game. Brunell threw a pick at the Patriots 5 when they were down 13-6 in the 4th quarter. Then James Stewart fumbled from the Jaguars 42 with the score still 13-6 and about half of the 4th quarter remaining. Jacksonville proved it wasn’t a fluke as they compiled a 36-12 record over the next 3 years. They won 2 division titles and got back to the AFC championship game in 1999. They lost to the Titans for the 3rd time that season in the CCG and were 15-0 against the rest of the league.
Definitely the most shocking was the New York Giants beating the undefeated Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. That was the most shocking outcome in the history of the NFL. That is the biggest choke job I ever witnessed. Naturally Super Bowl III with the Colts as 18 point favorites is another., with the Joe Namath led Jets defeating the Colts 16-7.
Jill Conner jags was bigger jax was a second year team.I think they were 11 point underdogs Denver was the best team in the nfl that year and heavy favorite to win it all this lost still shocks me

@@alwaysmiserable honestly this one shocked me more. Giants played New England week 17 and only lost by 3. We knew they could at least hang. I thought this game would be over by halftime.
Broncos( caught looking past the Jags here) got revenge the following year. This is the ONLY reason New England reached the SB that yr is because they didn't have to face Denver. Reminded me of 1987 when the Redskins avoided a trip to Candlestick(they would've lost to SF) and got to host the Vikings( 49ers caught looking past them) instead.
Technically not the last game in the Orange Crush uniforms, as they threw back to them for Thanksgiving 2001 and hopefully will again soon, but the last game before the adoption of their current style. I was glad to see Elway finally get his rings, but bummed that it couldn’t have happened in those beauts.
Instead he became the most underrated wr or all time in jax. Thanks Jerry. Hin and and McCardell were such a great duo. And Brunell the Jags snagged some absolute studs and came out busting heads early.

That Broncos defensive INT that was not allowed changed the game. So in other words the refs changed the course of history. Jags were done if that INT stands.
James picked off Brunell but got called for Pass Interference. Late in the 4th quarter on 3rd down, Brunell went at James again, and dropped a dime to Smith for the TD to seal the victory.
THAT’S why they play the games
Chris Kreager Brunell was evsive when he ran, Kordell Stewart also when he ran and Ray Lewis hated playing them both cause he was thier spy on the Ravens and had to catch them.
Mark Brunell’s coming out party.
Christian Boddie yup

1t was not 8 [Mark Brunell]. Elam misses the PAT and then after the next drive the miss the 2 pt play and they are up 12 and fee1ing snake-bit.
This was the AFC's version of Minnesota over San Francisco in 1987. Very few playoff games have surprised me like those two games.
No doubt it. Denver was a 14 point favorite...which in the 90's was a GIVEN for a victory and did not happen.
The biggest upset? For me, it’s the New York Giants dethroning Brady and the Patriots perfect season.
Long term wise, this loss was the best thing that could happen to the Broncos. I believe if they won here, they would've eventually gotten smoked by the Packers in SB XXXI. This loss gave them that extra hunger the next year in winning it all.

Bring back the 96 broncos uniforms
Packers shredded their defense in the regular season. There was no Elway, but Packers still had no trouble scoring on that offense.
This would be John Elway's last playoff loss of his career.
Nothing like watching Denver games on tv during the 80s and early 90s . At Mile High Stadium when the screen would shake due to the crowd noise . Their stadium they have today can't compare

Who wins? 96 jags or 95 colts? They were basically the same team.
The Broncos rust showed in this game
Elway after this though he was running out of time being of 36 years old.
The Jags were loaded. McCardell, Jimmy Smith, and Natrone Means was a load, he really broke Denver. Brunell made plays with his legs.
The biggest playoff upset of my lifetime.

One of the ultimate examples of taking your opponent too lightly.

This is what happens when you don't take your opponent seriously. Unfortunately, Denver had to learn that the hard way.
This game wasn’t an upset The Jaguars were the better team and more prepared never underestimate any team.

That's a lame interpretation. Throwbacks shouldn't count. Otherwise there are multiple teams with uniforms dating back to the 1920s.
This was before my time as a Broncos fan, but it feels like the Baltimore loss in 2012. 4 missed points and lose by 3. That PI call was garbage
