People in today’s world overlook Bernie Kosar. The man played in 3 afc championships games and was close. John Elway went to 5 SuperBowls in total, and 3 of them could have been Bernie instead. It’s all about perspective, and sometimes winning becomes everything, and players sometimes doesn’t get the full amount of respect they deserve.
Agreed. Bernie put his team in position to win those games. He couldn't go out there and get a stop for the defense. He couldn't keep players from fumbling. He couldn't stop receivers from dropping passes. He couldn't force kickers to make kicks. He did his job well but he's just one man.
@@adamdorgant9454 man sucked that team was loaded Kosar Slaughter Brennan Matthews Dixon Byner Mack Newsome 38 years later still can't figure it out watched it a friend of mines that I went to school with we were all rooting for Cleveland not Denver and when Cleveland lost it was like a death in the family man that sucked
I was one of the 5 million people that were at the stadium that day. Only, I really was. In the dawg pound. A high school senior, with a bunch of friends. When the Jets went up 20-10 in regulation, half the dawg pound left. We went down to the front row, and watched the comeback and overtime from there, as all the people started flooding back in. Too bad for them.
@@adamdorgant9454 yes i remember everything about this game and day. i was 12 years old watching my dad and brother this was the game that introduced me to a life of misery as jet fan 🤣
Man I loved the old municipal stadium, especially the painted dirt. The visitors had a rusty nail in the wall to hang their stuff on in their locker room. They and the refs were routinely pelted with ice balls and dog biscuits in the red zone. Teams knew they had to not only face the Browns...but a whole environment.
I think Brian Brennan someday it up well. The win over the Jets gave them confidence. The game wore them out. Number 7 on Denver was the great equalizer.
Big Giant fan but was never a Jet hater, remember watching it with a few of my Jet fan friends in my basement like it was a week ago... Might be the closest shot at a NYG-NYJ SB in my lifetime... I had no idea about the Charlie Steiner radio call jinx until now, almost 40 years later... Didn't even know he did Jet radio?? Where was the great Marty Glickman that day?? He did NYG then NYJ radio for decades... They're such a snakebite organization... Something always happens to them... I didn't think it would so suddenly like it did with AR this season... I guessed maybe a missed FG in a Wild Card game or a pick 6 in a late season game to miss the playoffs... Four plays in, I feel that pain because I have a lot of NYJ fan friends... Check out the early coaching career of Bill Cowher on Marty's staff, probably his first job...
19:03 - true words never spoken. That was the biggest 98-yard drive in Cleveland Browns' history. Ironically, it was overshadowed by another one a week later.
Billy, Get out of there, I'll take care of it. Even as a young special teams coach just a few years removed from playing, you could see that Bill Cowher was a head coach in the making.
It's hard to believe the Jets were that good and that close in the modern day to advancing to the AFC championship game. I agree with that Jet who said, it wasn't anything the Browns did to win that game. It was more the Jets who just gave up, beat themselves and let them take it. I mean, even after that 15 yard penalty hit by Gastineau on Kosar, wow, they blew some easy interceptions late in the game and they were given a gift when the Browns kicker missed a 23 yard field goal in overtime. It's almost like the Jets just didn't want it bad enough. What a shame. After watching this I really feel for Gastineau. Seems like a genuine and decent man who knew he messed up royally and it took years to shake off that regret. It was so touching to hear him say if he could do it all over he'd just hug Kosar. The Jets should've won. But if you can't hold onto a ten point lead late in the fourth, you know you're not a championship type team.
The Jets probably lose to Denver like Cleveland did in the next round. As for Mark Gastineau, he had more sacks in his seven best seasons combined than several Hall of Fame defensive ends, and he got at least one sack in every Jets playoff game in the 1980’s. And the only players to have three seasons of 19+ sacks officially or unofficially are Gastineau and Deacon Jones. He messed up in this game, but he had a better career than some people may think initially.
Back when football was about men and their guts n glory...no fashion walk into the pregame locker room...look at my threads,my shoes,my hair...nothing but a bunch of overpaid clowns today
Another forgotten AFC classic. Bernie Kosar was such an underrated quarterback.
I love BK. He played with so much heart and he always put us in a position to win these big games.
@@dispassionateobserver totally agree. The Browns were never out of any game as long as he was in at quarterback.
He was rated just fine, he was just unlucky
@@bradleybrown8399 he had the misfortune of having John Elway in the way of being in 3 Super Bowls.
You had to see it Live, this is where I was on that day !
Awesome!!!

The difference between 1986 and today. A double overtime playoff game with the winning QB passing for 489 yards and scoring 23 points to win it
The Browns should have won the Superbowl
@@clifftanton8385Who knows!!!!

Loved watching the MACK TRUCK!!

And THAT, folks, is what football is ALL about ! Every emotion known to man is shown on the gridiron in games like this......WOW !!
37 years later this game still haunts me
Is that Right?

Could be worse. You could’ve lost a game when the opposing QB called for a spike, then throws the game winning TD.
Oh wait……
@bb-gc2tx I was at the game. Back then when you were down 10 with under 3 minutes you were almost assured a victory.
@@bb-gc2txI think Browns fans can relate considering the outcome the following week.
I love,, they bark, they bite and come when called lol😅

was i the dog pound with my brother watching that game. long game!
Remember that game like it was yesterday. Lol.

You’re right about that!!!!
Unfortunately the Broncos couldn’t put up a fight in the Super Bowl.
@@Longenecker1776 a Browns Giants Super Bowl would of been a better match up, this coming from a Broncos fan.
@@Longenecker1776It was a close game at the half with Denver up 10-9. But from that point on, the Giants went on a run outscoring them 30-10.

One of Marty’s best teams, playing “Marty Ball!”

I've always loved this game.
I'm a Broncos fan. Hehe, sorry Cleveland!
😂😂
Sadly back then every time Cleveland makes it to the playoffs they give it a name .
They won the most regular season games of any team from 1986 - 1989. I’ll take it!
Browns had more chances in this one. glad they won.
Agreed!!!
There was nothing out of control on that gasteneau late hit. He squared up and leveled Kosar.
Jets Announcer Jinx Alert. 40:32
True!!!!
Mark Gastineau was the goat of the game.
If I remember correctly a few penalties went our way
Spoiler alert: Watched the whole video. It had to be on number 99.
No way in hell that was interference
I really dig Ozzie's loyalty to Kosar.
Team!!
The game with no winners
True!!!

He was an assistant coach for the Browns at the time!!!
@@adamdorgant9454No wonder I see him here with this team at the time and no wonder the Browns were such playoff contenders at the time!!!

What do you mean "as if he was spearing...? He should have been thrown out.

Probably so!!!!
