Watching old NFL games is like looking back at NFL history! Its really cool!
golden days...
I AGREE with you 1,000% because this was when football was football. The NFL is now CRAP & isn't worth watching anymore. I HOPE the USFL does well & there's no kneeling for the American Flag or anything like that. LOVE YOUR COMMENT.
?????? Weird comment.....!
love watching these old games. good af. better than NFL today
amen greebs huh??
Back in these days when you turned the game on you didn't know what the score was. Lol The anticipation was brutal at times.
Yes! Turning on the game after it started, dying for the announcers to give the score and the time!😂
I remember hearing my dad and older brother yelling at the TV, "What's the score? How much time is left in the half??"
Good times!😂😂
Back when the only thing that came across the bottom of the screen was a 'severe weather' update.
Funny I actually prefer that. The screen is too cluttered today
Yes lol. I hated it when they started putting the score box on the screen but after a while I got used to it and now it would be hard to watch sports without it. I could do without a lot of the other stuff though, such as the big down and distance arrow, the darker shade of the red zone NBC uses, and in baseball the strike zone box.
@@ChildOfThe1970s everyone needs the score, I cant believe there was a time without it
You got that right. I remember watching games for 5 - 10 minutes without knowing what the score was.
Definitely one of the greatest games between these two rivals. Eric Metcalf was a helluva player. A veritable Swiss Army knife on the field who could do it all.
Man the NFL looked so cool back then
Big facts 🏈💯
Cause it was !
It was beyond cool!!
@@russschoewe3551 physical
It was amazingly vicious back then too…. The middle of the field was a death sentence.
Not too many 175 pound slot receivers running 15 yard digs without getting absolutely destroyed.
That's the most passionate fan base I've ever seen!
Eric Metcalf said he was inspired by Joe Carter’s game winning HR in The World Series the previous night.
i think after the 2nd td he makes a baseball swing
@@iselin90 back when the blue Jay's were back to back world series Champs
Joe Carter played for the Indians, too.
@@iselin90 Yep, at 20:56, I always wondered why he did that for years until I remembered the Carter reference.
Amazing, one of my all-time favorite moments and never knew that!
look at those quartebacks, taking those hits, no flags thrown...
Watched this game at my aunt's house, apartment right on Lake Erie, on Lakeshore! Never forget it! Miss you, Aunt Lynn!!!!!!
I remember being mad at Tecmo Bowl because Metcalf speed was only like 75 or 80. Everyone knew he was fast af, like wtf Tecmo Bowl lol
Barry Foster was really good for few years if I remember correctly. We talked about him at school all the time. Metcalf was so exciting to watch. He was the first all-purpose back that I can remember.
He was great in 1992, and solid in 93 and 94, but had both seasons shortened because of injury. It was those injuries that caused him to be left unprotected in the expansion draft and claimed by the Panthers, but he never played a snap for them. He was on their roster on Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition, one of many players over the course of that game that were represented on teams they never actually PLAYED on.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 Right on dude, thanks.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 Barry foster almost looks like a Jerome Bettis stunt double
They ran the legs off Foster
I was born in Buffalo NY and am a lifelong Bills fan. Yet I have to say both sides left it all on the field with this game
Gonna watch this on my lunch break. As usual thanks bawse. Eric was an awesome player just like his dad.
Love to hear it!
@@NFLVault wde
@@NFLVault keep up the 90s content bossman
The Cleveland Browns were 1 of The HOTTEST Teams in The 80’s And 90’s Dawg Pound Forever
Could've had a Super Bowl in the 80s if it weren't for you know who
@@ck-1649 2 years in a row. But especially the first one.
It seemed, until Testaverde got hurt, that Belichick had turned the team around. And it really looked that way before things fell apart in 1995.
Eric Metcalf was not only a great returner, but he can also be a solid receiver when his quarterback gives him the ball
As a Raiders fan, we could attest first hand. He had an "Al Bundy" against us in 1992, scoring 4 TD's in the LA Coliseum, completely exploiting our slower LB's and safeties. Then beat us in this season, scoring on a toss play on the last play of the game.
Metcalf was a solid player back then. Would be so much better today in the pass happy NFL today.
Deserves a call to the hall
@@reverend_wintondupree Yep
@@reverend_wintondupree He wasn’t THAT good. Definitely not Hall of Fame worthy.
My best friend's stepdad was a gigantic Browns fan...which was random as heck for Fresno, California. I will never forget him completely losing his mind when Metcalf took that second punt back for a TD. That is a VIVID childhood/teenage memory. And what's funny is, it ultimately meant nothing for Cleveland, who ended up flaming out under Belichick and missing the playoffs in '93.
from the 80s till 2010 was the best era
Miss the old lady on the lake. Always great crowds at Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
Michael Jackson was a “Thriller” in this game.
Didn't he wear #1 in 1992?
@@toddbiesel4288 He did. He also went by Michael Dyson
Michael Jackson the receiver is also no longer with us.
@@PhilJHaast7695 great player I never knew who he was until I played madden with the ultimate team mode
R.i.p.
I miss Nbc day time football. Thanks for this one.Fun Fact: Kicker Gary Anderson missed the kick against the Falcons to send my Vikings to the Superbowl.
No. If Anderson made that FG, the Vikings would have been up by 10, possibly enough to win.
The Falcons had to get a TD to tie the game. Minnesota's defense failed, but dropped a pass that would have stopped the drive.
I don't blame Anderson. The reason Atlanta won was because Minnesota's defense didn't hold them and allowed them score too easily. I watched the game. Don't blame Anderson. He didn't lose it. The Vikings did...
Same thing with Cody Parkey for the Bears in '18. Chicago had a 5 point lead in the middle of the 4th quarter. Two 1st downs and the Bears win. Trubisky and the offense failed. The defense allowed the Eagles to score. Parkey had a chance, but "doubled-doinked"! He tried to bail-out the crappy offense/defense. Didn't happen. It shouldn't have been an issue if the Bears were a competent team that year.
I remember Eric Metcalf at the University of Texas. My brother worked for the athletic department and I used to watch practice, etc... even got to be a 'ball boy' for a few days.(My brother was 16 years older than me).
After practice, Eric Metcalf would run hurdles that were set up on the track. (This was back when Memorial Stadium had astroturf.)
Eric was such a nice guy. I helped him move some hurdles and he knew it was a big deal for me. He signed a couple of gloves for me and also my burnt orange, Texas mini football. Still got them today. Also have a team signed poster from 1990(?) as well.
He was by far the biggest star on those early 90's Texas teams.
I remember this game so vividly...2 days before my 10th birthday! At my cousin's trailer my folks & everyone was drinking....when Metcalf ran back that 2nd punt i thought they was going to flip the trailer over THEY HAD IT ROCKIN from jumpin around! Like the Browns just won the super bowl! O yea I'm from northern Ohio! Football is a staple of alot of my memories!
One of the few NFL matchups with a college atmosphere. The Ohio State- Michigan of the NFL.
I was actually at this game. For a three-year stretch (92-94) I took a bus to Cleveland when the Steelers were playing them. It was a bus company in Everett, PA, that hosted travel tours and the game at Cleveland was one of them. Loved the game day atmosphere there.
Good old days of the steelers x browns rivalry
Those days might be back after the last few seasons, I hope so anyway
@@markrobertson2196 i hope too
It had iron bowl intensity!
@@markrobertson2196 Those days are long gone. The ravens are now the main rivals to the steelers and took the browns place in the NFL. The new Browns don't have any mutual rivalries yet.
One of my favorite games of all time!
Eric Metcalf was the only exciting playmaker on an otherwise plodding Browns offense during the Belichick era in Cleveland.
That's when the game was REAL Football !! Been a Browns fan 54yrs . One of my all time favorite moments as a Browns fan !! ClevelandTillTheCasketDrops
1993 back when football was football, and when men were men, girls were girls, and men used the men's room, and not the ladies bathroom!
I remember watching this live. What a venue municipal stadium was. Place was old and antiquated but always rocked during Browns games. Barry Foster sure was great in 92 as he nearly won the rushing title but Emmitt passed him and won it on the final game of the year vs Chicago. After the '92 season, I recorded an NFL Films feature that included a segment on Foster. He mentioned that he almost called it a career until OC Ron Erhardt came aboard the Steelers coaching staff and tweaked the blocking schemes in the run game. The result was a hell of a season that saw Foster finish second in the NFL in rushing yards.
Watching this I couldn't believe how close the fans were with only a tiny fence blocking them lol
Tom Hammond’s call was epic! He was out of breath calling what he witnessed!
And what is the Logo at the 50-Yard line? Never saw it before and it looks like a 5 than an interlocking CB.
It was a C and B and IIRC, was only used in the 1993 season.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 IIRC??
@@timg2088 "If I recall correctly"
@@timg2088 remember merely hodge espn the factor back guy lmao
@@ericpackers1700 "The factor back" is etched in my memories, along with the old ESPN 'Gameday' in the morning and 'Primetime' after the games were through.
It's sad the browns "relocated" in the 90s. A truly great team.
What's done is done, they're Ravens now
If only they didn't need to lose the team to get the stadium built.
@Rowdy Jr I wasn't alive to witness the move (thank god), but as a Browns fan, I can clarify that's a hundred percent accurate. Hell even the Steelers were against the move!
@Rowdy Jr Amen
@rowdyjr2318 I hate Modell, he was a piece of garbage
Jeff Graham & Michael Jackson were underrated wideouts in the 90s
As a Bears fan,I agree with you regarding Jeff Graham.
@@thenextrung thriller Michael Jackson was like Keenan McCardell and guys like that where he was better than people remember and guys like Johnny Morton
@@thenextrung Super underrated
I miss these games, back when the N.F.L. games meant something. Today games are bore fests with manufactured drama. I feel for player safety, but it is just seven on seven fast-break basketball nowadays.
Smashmouth era
Eric metcalf was a beast that punt retun was epic 🔥
1:37 looks like the right tackle of the Pittsburgh steelers was doing the mannequin challenge
Loving these 70s 80s and early 90s throwbacks.
Kevin Stefanski really revamp the late 80s early 90s Browns offense into the new Browns offense
Yes Sir
Bernie Kosar would go on to help win the NFC championship game for the Cowboys later that year after the Browns let him go
Wasn't he in the dolphins playoffs the next year!???
@@ericsigersmith2831 He definitely played for the Dolphins after he left Dallas. As a Dolphins fan I was thrilled! Before him the Dolphins had Ron Jaworski.
@@ericsigersmith2831 The Browns let him go later in 1993 (i believe after week 10) The Cowboys picked him up and He came into the NFC championship game after Troy Aikman got hurt. Bernie played well in relief as the Cowboys beat the 49ers that game
That is not the most amazing story involving Bernie Kosar that season. He was cut by Cleveland on a Tuesday, Picked up on waivers by Dallas on a Thursday, had one day of practice on Friday and came into a game helped Dallas beat Arizona on Sunday. Unreal
Belichick actually gave him a great going away gift by cutting him and letting him sign on to the Cowboys, where he won the NFC Championship game. There was nothing for him in Cleveland.
As a Steelers fan I can definitely respect Eric Metcalf
RIP Kevin Greene
Auburn legend
Football legend Greene and wrestled in WCW
Metcalf floated on air when he ran. The good old days, blue collar crowd, Marlboro signs, the real Dawg Pound. 🚬🚬
I was all of 15 years old when this game was played and I remember it like it was yesterday. That punt return at the end was a real dagger. Crushing defeat. This was where the whole season kinda shifted. We lost both games to the Oilers later in the season but still managed to make the playoffs at 9-7 only to lose in ot to Joe Montana and the Chiefs. Killer season.
Holy crap! Collinsworth was doing commentary in '93???!!!! I don't know why but I don't remember any of his games back then.
Dick Enberg was the main commentator on NBC. At least he was to me.
“Now here’s a guy…”
Yeah, Collingsworth was on the regional games for years. Then moved up to national games as he improved. His first major paring was with Greg Gumbel, I believe. When he teamed up with Al Michaels was when he really came into his own. They had alot of mutual respect and great chemistry from the jump.
Collinsworth doing games in 1993, unbelieveable 30 years now.
He worked Notre Dame games on Saturday too.
Eric Turner was a really good player for a few years. Haven't heard that name in a long time.
Former raider?
@@ericpackers1700 yes sir. Was a Raider before his untimely death due to stomach cancer.
Good game I wasn’t even born yet ‘95 baby
I was 8 yrs old, watching from Redford, Michigan, and this game is the first time i saw a punt return for a td! 2 at that!
Back when tackle football was a collision sport, & not full-contact paddy-cakes.
Eric Metcalf was an all time great for real....He was nasty at University of Texas too
He was a Texas longhorn ?
@@ericpackers1700 yes
Man I miss those days. 90s were the best. Metcalf was my favorite player.
I was there. Old Municipal Stadium. Anyone over 50 who says they like the new place better is a liar. It was my first game back there since 1988. My first ever Browns-Steelers game. Even then I was surprised how many Steeler jerseys were in the crowd. Old "Muny" was a rough place, but it was one of a kind and it had character. It was a monster stadium that looked like something the Romans would have built if they could have had steel to build with. Just hearing that crowd noise, you don't quite hear it like that now. That place was tense, you could feel the hatred of the rivalry. I got to see something very rare, 2 punt returns for TD's by same player. Went back the next year for Steelers game. Not so good. Vinnie threw 5 ints in a loss. Though not realizing it at the time I saw the last win over the Steelers by the original Browns.
How rough was the stadium?
@@ericpackers1700 The seats were on the small side, and very hard wood. At least they were foldbacks. Without question it showed it's age, having first opened in 1931. But it was a monster. It was in the Guiness book of records for years as the largest venue for baseball. The mens rooms were atrocious. Heavan help you if you had to do anything in them that involved sitting down. Those steel girders could block your view if you were in the wrong place. It had a permanent smell of a strange mixture of stadium mustard and cigar smoke. But you felt like TRUE fan sitting there. There was a time when they allowed for standing room viewing and that place could be near 90,000 filled. I was at a Monday Night game in 1980 against the Bears. Fights broke out everywhere before kickoff. As Howard Cosell walked along this gated walkway to the pressbox he was pelted with full beer cups. My Dad took me there with a few of my friends. He was getting worried about the violence and said if this kept up he'd have to take us out of there for safety's sake. There were 4 empty seats about 2 rows ahead of us. Right before kickoff these 4 nuns took those seats. Everyone around us began to behave themselves. It was the most surreal thing I ever had at a sporting event.
To get to the upper deck you had to walk a long narrow suspended cement walkway. All of them were deteriorating and would never be allowed today.
Metcalf was just ahead of his time, the game wasn't ready to utilize his talents fully... Imagine if he played in today's game.
Bedlam in section 49, row 27, seats 5 and 6.
Had those for from 88 to 95.
It will never be the same.
Metcalfs speed was unreal.. what a game he had that day
Vinny got CRUNCHED @17:34
i remember watching this game.merril hodge had some nice plays on offense,and special teams.memorable game.
Meril Hoge factor back lmao remember nfl matchup back in the day
Barry Foster won a rushing title during the prime of Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders & Thurman Thomas, people forgot about him
19:42 “if the browns pull it out it’ll be up to Bernie Kosar
Eric Metcalf: “and i took that personally”
Even if Pittsburgh looses, it's gonna be a great game
The Steelers losing to the Browns is never a "great game"
My boys were 7 and 5 ... this was their 1st Browns game.
How fun was that?
6:05 that's confidence when 2 defenders are ahead of you keep going knowing you'll blow by them
I watched this game in the ER getting stitches after a dirt bike crash! Never forget it.

Terry and Eric Metcalf...like father, like son! RIP fellas.
Back when the browns weren't an embarrassment
Share a birthday with Metcalf
this era was peak nfl
What a game
Yes it's one of the greatest games of the the 90s. Eric Metcalf with two great punt returns. That man needs to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
How is Clay Matthews Jr not in the HoF yet? Ridiculous!
His son in a packers hall of famer imo
It's hard too Believe that These same Cleveland Browns.. won Many Super Bowls as the Pittsburgh Steelers..in the last 20 years
Browns have 8 NFL titles, Pitt 6 titles
I remember these games like they were yesterday.
This was the last Browns game I ever saw in person. When Metcalf scored the winning touchdown the place went insane.
5:40 Sure fire hall famer clay Matthews but I’m still waiting for him to get into hall fame 😢 the disrespect for clay is unbelievable his stats and amount years he play for his position he should definitely be a hall of famer which really sad by nfl for not recognizing him for his accomplishments
If he didn't play for the Browns he would be in the Hall of Fame he could do everything easily

Beautiful game! 😁
Wow, Cris Collingsworth still works for NBC doing NFL
Worked at FOX in the late 90's to around the early 2000's as well.

Bill Cowher had some good Steelers teams in the nineties especially early to mid but make no mistake, Chuck Noll fingerprints were all over them. A lot of players he drafted were apart of those teams
Back when the NFL was legit.
Eric Metcalf was one of my favorite players of all time
He was the Joe Carter of this game...the NFL equivalent of a walk-off HR in the 9th!
Joe Carter a Cleveland Indian for life!
Tom Hammond was a great NFL announcer
Neither team did all that well in 1993. The dysfunctional Oilers would end up overtaking then both and win the Central with their impressive win streak.
If you just want to see Metcalf’s punt return TDs they’re at 5:55 and 20:04.
@8:38 Brown’s DL #59 Johnson was late getting on the field. Rumor has it that Belichick demoted him to interim junior deputy assistant equipment technician (chief ball boy >assistant ball boy> assistant to the assistant ball boy> ). At the conclusion of the season Johnson was promoted to junior hydration specialist where he served until 1995 when the Browns moved to Baltimore.
Cleveland won this game and advanced to a 5-2 record, they didn’t make the playoffs that season
They fell apart after this game. Testaverde was out an extended period of time and Belichick cut Kosar after the next game because he and Kosar didn't get along. Cited diminishing skills. Todd Philcox became the Browns starter and went 1-3. The Browns were 6-6 when Testaverde came back.
Is that a young chris collinsworth
So many hits that now would be considered illegal! Lol
