I was 11 and in attendance for this game. Seeing the TV broadcast brings back many memories of all those players. I was a huge Broncos fan and knew every player on the roster and all their stats. This was pre internet, so all info was gathered by watching ESPN, TV games, and listening to sports talk radio.
What a great crazy game. This time in the NFL, was my first introduction to the NFL. 1986, a friend called and said "Dude, turn over to NBC and watch this guy Elway. I think he's gonna do something wild!" I turned over there and it was the second play of the 98 yard drive in Cleveland. I was hooked! And my team was then the Broncos. I was 15 when I saw that game on TV. From then on, it was Elway and the Broncos. Denver is thousands of miles away from where I grew up, so not having a regional pro team, it was Denver for me. I've been thru all the ups and down rooting for the Bronc's! This was one of the games I went to school the next day and just raved about this game and how Elway scrambled and made plays happen!
I have some of the John Elway games on VHS. Thanks for improving this Bronco classic. Many will enjoy watching this game. A lot of great players on both teams.
Thanks for posting this what a heartbreaking loss for the Bears I remember watching this game and thinking they need to make up for 1986. Little did I know ownership Mike Mccasky fired GM Vainisi, Putting himself in charge and it was the beginning of the end for the Chicago Bears. Lack of good draft picks doomed them by 1991
The Bears had many extra draft picks in that timeframe. The Bears got two first round picks for Wilber Marshall signing as a free agent with Washington.
And they never really recovered. Even the Lovie Bears were very clearly not close to the top of the NFL. Good coaching and great defense made them relevant, but they were never really super bowl caliber - even their Super Bowl season. They never knew how to hire strong Personnel people with vision for how to build a long term team.
I'd rather watch this, than today's NFL. I watched this game live when it happened. I was 11 years old. This is back when Football and the NFL was great. It really isn't anymore. 😢
Huh? Why would you say today's NFL is worse than this in 1987. I too watched this live and both eras are equally good. Perhaps better today with today's tech. Your turn.
@@fman4234 The tech today is part of the problem, along with all the stupid new rules... They might as wear flags these days because you can't hit anymore and what's with the new kick off? Ridiculous.
@@fman4234 No bro, today isn't football. WHY? 1. Basically flag football with now rugby mixed in todays game. 4th and 1. Oh gee let's do a rugby scrum! It's not exciting. You can't hit the QB, RB's have no value. You get 12 actual mins of a football game in 3 hours. that's it. 2. Taylor Swift. I don't watch football for Taylor Swift or endorse that. 3. Cost_ It shouldn't cost a family vacation to take a family to the game. 4. GREED. Now we are talking about adding in a 18th game. Get ready for more "historic" records to be broken. This does not increase quality. Only decrease it. MNF used to mean something. Now we sometimes have 2 games on MNF. TNF is a absolute joke and asking teams to play after 3 days is insane. Give them a bye and let them play the next THUR. WIN WIN. 4a. These clowns are so greedy they schedule professional football on Friday nights in early September. Just ridiculous. ( a long loophole allows this) Friday is for high school and a few small colleges now apparently. There are about 50 other reasons.

Thank you for fixing and uploading this, Dave! Great memories from when I was 23. It is even better seeing HOF “Mongo” Steve McMichael in his prime. He is forever young here on You Tube!
Amazing run by those bears, 36 of 40 regular season games learning into this game, 25-straight wins with McMahon as the starter, incredible, what a team.
Hopefully we can get an upload of the 84 Monday Night game between the Broncos and Packers that was shown in the opener. Special memories of that game.
I was at work when this game was played. the chicago Tribune had a 900 number to access news and weather forecasts and sports updates. I called the 900 number many times that night, only to be disappointed that they lost this game. Good thing I never got caught dialing that number...the toll charges were pretty high!!!
This season was during my senior year of high school. This was a strike season, the year of the "Scabs". I was the Denver Broncos mascot, "Huddles". I was on the field for the game, of course. This was Walter Payton's last game ever in Denver. I was able to get his wrist band after the game. I took off my costume, and spent the last half of the 4th quarter on the Bears sideline (I was determined to get my prize, LOL). One the greatest memories of my life! Mr. Payton was incredibly gracious! Oh yeah, GREAT GAME!!!
Every throw all the pukes of today gush over that Mahomes makes...Elway made in this game. He did it every game and did it better. In addition the beating he took in this game...he took every game.
Holy crap, dude. I think I asked you for this. Unreal. This is one of the greatest regular season wins in Bronco history. Pretty much the monsters of the midway, at Denver. Broncos should have been there instead of the Patriots in ‘85..maybe things could have been different. thanks
I remember watching this game live. Terrible call by Ditka handing it off to Perry. You’re on the road in a hostile environment with a chance to go up 21-7. Do you hand it to one of the greatest backs ever? No. Do you hand it to Neal Anderson? No. You hand it off to Perry. Ditka is one of the most overrated coaches in NFL history.
@@tonywright282I disagree their best best would have been 87, only because the 49ers lost to the Vikings. Had McMahon stayed healthy in 86’ it would have been a close game with the Giants, but I would have given the Giants the edge. From 87 - 90, the Niners were the most talented team. The Bears just weren’t as good or as talented as those great 49ers teams.
@@thfzn3130 You are right after I gave it some thought and reflection, in 86 if McMahon or Tomczak were healthy I believe Chicago would have lost a close, low scoring defensive battle to the New York Giants in NY in the 86 NFC Championship Game and as you said I agree I believe Chicago should have beaten Washington in the divisional round if McMahon had have stopped throwing the damn ball so much and ran Walter Payton more, he had 74 yards rushing at halftime but only 11 yards rushing in the second half why, because McMahon and Ditka started throwing the ball more and oh did I mention Jim McMahon threw three interceptions in that game two of them in the second half and one of those two in the red zone, winning that game there’s no doubt the Bears would have beaten Minnesota in the Championship Game and went on to beat Denver in Super Bowl XXII
@@tonywright282 McMahon was crushed on a TD throw to Morris in the first half. After that you could see the balls he threw had nothing on them. I think you're right about 86. Even with a healthy McMahon they didn't have a reliable receiver. McKinnon was out all year and Gault's hands were always suspect. Keith Ortego was their number 2 receiver and no one would be scared by him. It was a short lived run, but man what a ride!
Always go back to the QB problems with the bears. # 9 was our best option but never truly healthy after 85. Those other teams wouldn’t have gotten far with the 2nd or 3rd string QB that the Bears used
This was a very significant game because Dan Reeves figured out how to beat the 83 defense, by putting your quarterback in the shotgun. The rush couldn't get to the QB fast enough and they didn't have enough guys down field to cover. If I remember correctly, up to this game, no one had ever played out of the shotgun for so many plays in one game.
Man I remember this game....but I bet Gene Lang remembered it more after that hit by Samurai Mike Singletary..that's what i mainly remember about that night..WOW!!..what a hit..he was my all time favorite LB.
Payton retired after this season. He did not appear to be happy. When a team chooses to give the ball to fridge instead of him at the goal line, what do you expect?
the play calling on that goal line series is still stupefying. 1st and goal, and neither Payton or Anderson touch the ball? a McMahon designed option roll-out? The Fridge? Ditka trying to relive his Superbowl “genius” play calling, or he never learned that designed running plays for Mcmahon and Fridge were idiotic when you have Payton, Anderson, Suhey, and a couple other decent backup RBs.
Payton didn’t retire because of the play calling. 87 was Payton’s last season regardless he made it known before the season started. With that said the play calling was the result of Ditka’s ego starting to get in the way too much. He was part of the reason they didn’t win after 85
Had nothing to do with him retiring lol. He retired because it was his time after 13 years 💯 Giving the ball to the fridge literally had nothing to do with it smdh.
And he blows the win with a bad interception. Uncharacteristic game for him for sure. I'm definitely on the side of him being more underrated than overrated. Dude was a gamer.
If the Broncos don't win this game, there's a great chance Cleveland goes to the SB that year. This was a great MNF contest. And it had great impact on the season. I remember watching this. Wow.
I was in 4th grade and I lived in Denver area at this time. I remember this game well. There was a blizzard all weekend in Denver leading up to this game. The day before this game a Continental' airlines DC9 crashed at Stapleton Airport in Denver due to the blizzard and a deicing issue on the planes wings. Worst crash ever in Denver I beleive. A lot of people died. We had this Monday off of school due to the blizzard. Give me a thumbs up if you remember this day in Denver.
@@maxgreen8520 thats definitely not what meant at all. I just meant to give me a thumbs up of you lived in Colorado and remember this very memorable day.
I will never forget this game. I was a freshman at the University of Colorado, and a bunch of us were all watching it in the TV room in the dorms. There was a *very* attractive young lady watching it, and I had my eye on her all night. Her face was completely blank the entire night, until the last play when the Broncos won. I was so happy…..then I looked at her and she mouthed “Shit!” and stormed out of the room. Now, I just assumed that if you went to CU, then you were from Colorado and rooted for the Broncos! That was my first indication that I was surrounded by all sorts of people from all around the world, and some of them might, just might, be Bears fans.
People say Mahomes is the greatest all the ways he throws the things he does. All anyone has to do is watch this game and u see Elway was better in every aspect of the game. And he did it against tough physical defense instead of the soft ass stuff of today. He is the greatest ever.
@@mattst.germain4023 I disagree. Brady didnt have the arm or mobility that elway did. brady played in the soft era. brady played in a division that was inept other than them for 20 years. it all adds up. I wonder the 3 super bowls elway lost. those teams had no business being there. he made those around him better. i wonder if brady could have got those teams to the super bowl. i say no
@@letsrevieweverything144 opinions vary. Just hard to argue against the NFL’s all time leader in passing yds, passing tds and 7 Superbowls. Brady passed for 349 more tds than Elway (349… think about that). Almost 38,000 more yards, won 2 more MVPs and 5 more SB’s lol. I always liked Elway, but it’s not even close man.
@@letsrevieweverything144 I don’t wanna argue about it though. I’m an old school guy who grew up on 80’s/90’s football and yes that was a much tougher era of football no doubt. I have much respect for Elway
@@mattst.germain4023 Stats arent the same now as they were in the 80's and 90's. Elway played under a coach for half his career that didnt believe in throwing on 1st or second down. no point in arguing u are right. just hard to ever compare eras. better to just lump all the greats in one pool and call thenm the greatest.
I have about hundreds of 80's games from all teams to possibly work on at some point. I've done a bit of baseball -- ruclips.net/p/PLgbtYZmWdbXKfrgB5gW--TPX0QzT8Lkmg -- but NFL is my main focus
On every scoring drive my dad or I would call and say did you see that.Man I miss those days.We both are die hard bears fans from Chicago let's go bears beat Washington this sunday
Serves Ditka right for Perry to fumble on the goal line as poetic justice for Payton not getting that TD in SB 20 although 3 seasons prior … it was the football God’s way of reminding him of that injustice … getting too cocky and cute and it costs them momentum and the game … RIP Walter !
Oh get over it Walter didn’t score in the Super Bowl boohoo. I guess some people forget it’s a team sport and they won the big game. If walter couldn’t get over it then he was a bad teammate
@@williamstocker584 oh please … he worked his ass off for some bad teams … and that was his crowning moment, his crescendo of his career and his lack of awareness coach somehow forgot to call a package for him at the goal line to get a chance to score … clearly you see karma appearing here in this game with Perry yet again fumbling …
This was the beginning of when the AFC was so vastly inferior to the NFC, but during the regular season a lot of times the AFC could compete a little bit. They were still you could tell they were still a little bit inferior to the heavyweight like the bearers of the NFC, but they could compete with them but then in the Super Bowls they just couldn’t compete but Denver during the regular season a lot of times would play these big heavy NFC teams through the Hiltonand beat them sometimes
John Elway was an established player around the time 2 trips to super bowls both loses to New York Giants and Washington Redskins with winning record but would have to lose 1989 to San Franciaco but won 1998-1999 and now Hall Of Famer and won another super bowl with Gary Kubiak as Head Coach his backup and was GM picked up Peyton Manning to win the super bowl.
Mike Hart is giving Willie so much cushion that when he stops he's got a cover 6 yards just to get to Willie before he can try tackle him that it's just the worst coaching I have ever seen in the NFL
this could have been the super bowl they gave washington by far there toughest game if they had won would have hosted minnesota n with a win would have played denver in the bowl!!!!
The voice, the music, the uniforms, the pads, the rules. the hits, What a game it was.

@@mattst.germain4023 Stats arent the same now as they were in the 80's and 90's. Elway played under a coach for half his career that didnt believe in throwing on 1st or second down. no point in arguing u are right. just hard to ever compare eras. better to just lump all the greats in one pool and call thenm the greatest.
It’s amazing what happened to the bears after ‘85
I remember this season. The uniform guys put John Elways decal on crooked. Bet you can't stop looking at it the rest of the game.
I forgot we had Anderson and Payton both starting the game. That is awsome but Anderaon at FB shocked me
Mecklenburg was no joke on Techmo bowl😂
Brilliant
Proper bronco kit too
What a crazy box score lol.
I was watching this game in my living room! I thought Denvers plan was awesome!
Daaa Bears!
bubba.
i was at that game i was eight years old ah the 80s
80s was better than today, but peak football was late 50s - early 60s
Crazy how little the players look compared to today. Back when the Bears actually had an offense.
Man 37 years ago.
I was 14 a freshman in highschool This was the year Denver Lost in the Superbowl to the Redskins HTTR forever
Do you have more 80’s chiefs? Do you do baseball too? If so please 80’s Royals… Thanks so much, watching these classic games is awesome!
I have about hundreds of 80's games from all teams to possibly work on at some point. I've done a bit of baseball -- ruclips.net/p/PLgbtYZmWdbXKfrgB5gW--TPX0QzT8Lkmg -- but NFL is my main focus
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 Thanks so much I’ll be on the look out… LOL… Thanks for all you do it makes people happy and we all need that!
On every scoring drive my dad or I would call and say did you see that.Man I miss those days.We both are die hard bears fans from Chicago let's go bears beat Washington this sunday
Kevin Butler I think this was his 8th season😂
Serves Ditka right for Perry to fumble on the goal line as poetic justice for Payton not getting that TD in SB 20 although 3 seasons prior … it was the football God’s way of reminding him of that injustice … getting too cocky and cute and it costs them momentum and the game … RIP Walter !
Oh get over it Walter didn’t score in the Super Bowl boohoo. I guess some people forget it’s a team sport and they won the big game. If walter couldn’t get over it then he was a bad teammate
@@williamstocker584 oh please … he worked his ass off for some bad teams … and that was his crowning moment, his crescendo of his career and his lack of awareness coach somehow forgot to call a package for him at the goal line to get a chance to score … clearly you see karma appearing here in this game with Perry yet again fumbling …
Great game
Our new uniforms are ugly lets go back these
This was the beginning of when the AFC was so vastly inferior to the NFC, but during the regular season a lot of times the AFC could compete a little bit. They were still you could tell they were still a little bit inferior to the heavyweight like the bearers of the NFC, but they could compete with them but then in the Super Bowls they just couldn’t compete but Denver during the regular season a lot of times would play these big heavy NFC teams through the Hiltonand beat them sometimes
wow AL still commentating...
Football looked so different in that century. Being born in 2007, this footage from last century seems like another planet.
Was a better place
No ads being shoved up your ass. No corporate interference. No Bullshit...just football.
November 16 1987
PERRY experinent ending in Denver 1:08:00 much like John Lynch would End the DANTE HALL at WR experiment 16 yrs later.
3:29:39 mark - Why does McMahon looks like Rocky Dennis?
Denvers '87 defense was horrible and got scorched in the Superbowl.
Orange crush!!!
John Elway was an established player around the time 2 trips to super bowls both loses to New York Giants and Washington Redskins with winning record but would have to lose 1989 to San Franciaco but won 1998-1999 and now Hall Of Famer and won another super bowl with Gary Kubiak as Head Coach his backup and was GM picked up Peyton Manning to win the super bowl.
Boy Howdy is that a sub
when football was football
At 1:45:27, Herschel Walker being traded? Never!
broncos' defense look like high school players -- so small
Mike Hart is giving Willie so much cushion that when he stops he's got a cover 6 yards just to get to Willie before he can try tackle him that it's just the worst coaching I have ever seen in the NFL
Dierdorf was great
this could have been the super bowl they gave washington by far there toughest game if they had won would have hosted minnesota n with a win would have played denver in the bowl!!!!
The rest of the nfc improved rams ,49ers ,redskins but the bears did not they were still dominant but the same
