- This is a classic feature I found in my vault on one of my incredible Elway comebacks and one of many heartbreaking losses by my Houston Oilers. It was the 1st of 3 successive Oilers collapses in the playoffs.

Pretty impressive looking back to see how John Elway takes decent football teams deep into the playoffs every year. Then finally, a great time is built around him in 97 and 98, and the Broncos win two Super Bowls. This is why Elway should be mentioned as one of the greatest football players.
By any tangible standard, he is the best. This is historical fact...no man ever dragged a team deep into the postseason on his back on a regular basis. He did it 3 times in 4 years. That is INFINITELY harder than actually winning a Super Bowl the usual way.
I like how you said decent because that's what they were. Decent. Probably top 10-15 rosters in the league. They were good defensively, but there weren't many offensive weapons Elway carried a lot of the load in those early years. It was up to him to make plays because if he didn't, no one else on the Broncos was going to make any.
Elevating the play of those around you is the true mark of greatness and he did that.
I saw this game in Denver. Having Elway as our QB was a gift. He made the improbable look easy and made the impossible possible. Loved him then and I Love him now.
Steve Sabol!!! RIP!!

Sabol was a legend!
Houston had beaten Denver 42-14 at home during the regular season - and they were either the #1 or #2 seed in the AFC all season long until December when they lost 3 games to non-playoff teams to allow the Broncos, who were 7-4 when the Oilers were 9-2, to swoop in and steal the #2 seed, resulting in them having to play this game at Mile High instead of the Astrodome.
I was at the game in Denver. The Oilers dominated early and were trash talking Elway. Elway had the last laugh.
I think all the old NFL uniforms were nicer than today's
Agreed
👍 I agree with you, I have a few of the throwbacks.

I hated them coming out of the 90s but looking back you can see the pain and blood on those uni's.
Two classic uniforms.
100% Thx for the take!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I was born and raised in Colorado and have been a life long fan of the Broncos since the mid 80s. This was one of those defining moments in John Elway's career which helped solidify his mystique as one of the greatest come from behind quarterbacks to ever play the game. I remember watching this game with my father and as one of those people who has become very nostalgic the older I've gotten, I cherish the memories this video brought back. Thanks again.
You're welcome. As you prob can tell, I'm an Oilers fan so this was not a fun game for me to watch - but I always loved watching Elway when he wasn't beating the Oilers & I badly miss those orange crush unis. The current unis are pretty boring
As a Bronco fan, and looking back, I’m glad we lost to the Bills in the AFC Championship this season, as we would have just been blown out again in that ‘91 Super Bowl by the Redskins. That ‘91 Skins team is arguably one of the top 10 teams of all time.
Yeah, the novice think the Buffalo Bills choked four straight times. No. The Bills ran into two of the greatest TEAMS in the history of pro football. The 1991 Redskins and then the dynasty of the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys were a play away from going to four in a row themselves. Naturally there’s WIDE RIGHT. John Elway is underrated. John took Denver teams to Super Bowls that had no business being in Super Bowls. Was pleased when John got his two rings. Nobody ever deserved them more.
@@BuffaloWyoming Well said. And one thing that usually doesn't get mentioned is Elway's incredible toughness and durability. So many of his greatest comebacks involved him making plays that nobody else could make...with the game on the line, which makes it much harder in football...but also after having spent the entire game taking hits that would have put Brady or Manning out of the game in the first quarter...The man was made out of a whole other material than most human beings...
@@tgriffin3059 Elway is the greatest pure QB I ever saw. I’m a huge fan of John Elway and Joe Montana. Elway carried Denver teams to Super Bowls that had no business being there. He’d of beaten the Buffalo Bills in the 1991 AFC title game had he not gotten injured, he kept trying, but he was injured badly. Elway tried so hard. A real warrior. When the Broncos lost to the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIV 55-10, John’s interview after that massacre was nothing but pure class. The majority of people wouldn’t of handled that so well. Elway was always humble. John got his two rings and walked off into the sunset one of the absolute best QBs ever.
@@BuffaloWyoming Funny you'd mention that blowout vs. the 49ers...In the recent biography of Elway, there was a little information I had never heard. Apparently, he advised the defensive coordinator against the scheme they used that day. He knew that that particular scheme would be tailor made for Joe and that West Coast attack. Apparently even Montana, himself, was mystified over why they played that scheme. Of course, they might have lost, anyway, but if they had listened to John, I doubt the loss would have been by 45 points!!! That sheds even MORE light on just how much class he showed at that press conference...
I disagree. I think the broncos D would of kept the game close against the skins.
"Elway cant read defenses"? He ws part of a team. Anyway, Iwas at tht game. OmG istill get chills.✌️
I use to love watching this
When the NFL was REAL, and it was F'ing amazing.
Yup, I agree. I can't watch the watered-down pass happy games of today.
I remember watching this game my family was happy I wasn't dang great game
Tyrone Braxton was funny 😁 in this video
Elway converts on fourth down
Not once but twice
i was at that game!
Broncos or Oilers fan?
This was the Oilers big chance. They had the Broncos pinned back and had 4th and 10 twice and the defense couldn't hold the Broncos. All that wasted talent and when it came crashing down after the 93 season when they lost to the Chiefs, the Oilers demise was complete.
REAL TALK!!!!!
It’s the same pattern as today. Denver always gets a quarterback and houston joins Cleveland and Detroit in the world of misfit players , all by design of course
I was born and raised in Colorado and have been a diehard Broncos fan since the mid 80s. However, I will say that that those Oilers teams of the early - mid 90s led by Warren Moon were always my second favorite team. That team had so much talent and I would love to have seen Moon win at least one championship... Lord knows he deserved it.
@@mando3061 Moon did was 5 Grey Cups in the CFL before he went to the NFL. I mean not a Super Bowl, but winning 5 championships in A ROW is something no one can beat.
@@redmustangredmustang That's a very good point. CFL or NFL, winning a championship is tough to do, so to win five? Wow! Being a huge Warren Moon fan, I just wish he could have gone down in history as a Superbowl winning Hall of Fame quarterback.
Please bring back those helmets.
Agreed! 100%
It’s the same pattern today , Denver always gets a quarterback one way or another and houston , Cleveland , Detroit never field a team ,,,,,things that make you go hmmmmm
broncos need to go back to those unis
I wish they would too.!!
Agreed 100%. Miss the orange crush
Looks like the NFL fixed games with the refs as much back then as now. Clearly the Oilers were cheated on several plays.
Kubiak won the game
this was terrible. I couldn't believe the oilers let the broncos and that horse head, Elway, win them. such a heartbreaking loss again in the playoffs
REAL TALK!!!!
@@marvinspeak3777 dude, it sucked seeing those losses in this era. Felt bad for the oiler fan base. My family is all from Texas.
@@Snowboy2015 The League Set My Oilers Up For Embarrassent And Failure, Saying A Run And Shoot Team Couldn't Make The SUPERBOWL And They Ran With It!!!! REAL TALK!!!!!
@@marvinspeak3777 it was hard to see them never advancing. the league didn't want a team like the oilers to win a sb. they were the precursor to the best show on turf and modern offenses when you think about it though
