I'm here a year later to say yes I watched and recorded this game in 1985. Great memories back then. The commercials were amazing. Amazing Stories on Sunday night! Crappy school on Monday but it wasn't so bad in elementary school! This era had such a great feeling on network TV. Shame life is so bad now.
I was only 7 when this game first aired and I remember being drawn into the drama of the game towards the end ( thus beginning my weekly football viewership on the spot ). Also, I also began strongly disliking both the Raiders and specifically Todd Christiansen on this day. I can’t remember exactly why re: TC , but I’m rewatching now to hopefully stir my memory. I also remember thinking that the Raiders QB Marc Wilson looked like a “jerk” too.

Thanks! I always wanted to see the end to this game. I was a 9 year old huge Bronco fan, but we had to leave to go to a church Christmas program and I missed the overtime.
...and that was the reason the Broncos didn't make the playoffs that season. The Broncos, Raiders and Seahawks all went 11-5 and tied for the lead in the AFC West....but because of tiebreakers, the Raiders and Hawks made the playoffs, the Broncos didn't, as they lost a tiebreaker to the Patriots for the final wild card spot (who also finished 11-5 and second in the AFC East) in record vs common opponents. This made the Broncos the only team in NFL history since the 1970 league merger to finish the season with 11 or more wins and not make th e playoffs. Since then, only one other team has matched that dubious feat--the 2008 Patriots.

your right. he did absolutely did. but im sorta glad they didnt go that year. the 85 bears were gonna just totally annihilate and brutalize anybody that showed up that year. it was just their time. and that was the beauty of the game back then. its just certain teams that by about week 4- you already knew. they were about to terrorize the entire league...

Marc Wilson was HARD to watch. You talk about a DOUBLE AGENT! The Raiders were NEVER going to win or go to a Super Bowl as long as Wilson was QBing that team. I can only imagine how difficult it was for teammates to say WE came up short” instead of “HE.”
When Marc Wilson played you had to be wide open for him to complete a pass. And then you had to hope he didn't over throw you. He had absolutely no *touch* as a QB and couldn't throw directionally.
Denver missing this year. Coupled with about half a dozen 10-6 missing the playoffs the next few years . Ultimately lead to the NFL adding a 6th team to the playoffs. Wellth and $ of course.
Matthew Cole Late and for sure in OT the snow is spitting. I had same recollection and it turns out to be the case. 2:26:20 It picks up pretty steadily as OT goes on.
It was in 1985 that was really the beginning of the decline of the Raiders in the 1980’s. The team had hung on too many players who were part of their 3 Super Bowl title teams and when free agency wasn’t rampant as it is in today’s NFL, their draft picks in the 80’s other than LB Matt Millen in 1980 and RB Marcus Allen in 1982, most of them never panned out and they really never found an QB to be the air apparent to Jim Plunkett or a WR or TE to stretch the field vertically like Cliff Branch, Fred Belitnekoff, Dave Casper & Todd Christiansen. They thought that future QB was Marc Wilson when they drafted him in the first round in 1980.
@@conlanding Howie Long was a great draft pick. Greg Townsend was a good draft pick. Sean Jones was a good draft pick. And Stacy Toran(RIP) was a good draft pick who's life was tragically cut short. The Raiders did have a lot of aging players, but they were still a good team throughout most of the 80's. They just didn't have a solid QB.
Alzado was nearly done at this point. Sean Jones was a monster though, and he played very well. How the Raiders let him go to Houston is far beyond me???
Marc Wilson = A doofus looking version of Howard Stern. Nothing screams more of 1980s NFL was the bands playing fan fare music from a corner in the stadium.
At 1:45:10, there was an advert for Chrysler. Somehow they claimed that some POS Chrysler could outperform a BMW 528e. Yeah right. BTW, where is the Labaron GTS anyway ?? If anyone ACTUALLY believed this crap, comment.

Dennis Smith must be Marc Wilson's favorite receiver.
The Raiders have always owned the Broncos.

I know right? Glad the Raiders passed on that Dan Marino bum back in '83 when they had the chance. It's not like he ever did anything memorable.
Wilson just wasn’t a starting NFL QB or a real leader. HE was the biggest albatross and obstacle to the Raiders Super Bowl hopes.
To Mark's credit, his career was riddled with injuries, and he remains Raider loyal to this day.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not to mention that in the year 1985 when this game was going on I was born
1:24:07...Marcus was so good, he was the Raiders best option on a 3rd and 5.

The 85 Raiders had everything...except a quarterback. They were a good enough team to offset this AWFUL performance by Marc Wilson.
You said it! Those Raider teams were great. They almost certainly would have won another Super Bowl if not for the pathetic Wilson.
Marc Wilson, Interception MACHINE!

Yep. During those Wilson years, he was their worst enemy. The team only gave up 19ppg during his time. HE was their problem.
That's a trip. OT was introduced to end ties. And the inaugural OT game ends in a tie!
Broncos went 11-5 in 85 but only went 2-4 in the AFCW which cost them tie breakers.

Once when a quarterback got nailed after releasing the ball it wasn’t a big deal.

It picks up pretty steadily as OT goes on.
There was a snow game against Green Bay in 1984 and then in 1985 someone threw a snowball at the 49ers placeholder during a field goal attempt.
Did the Raiders only have two receivers (Dokie Williams & Jessie Hester) for this game? I never saw them go to a 3 receiver set the whole game.

They thought that future QB was Marc Wilson when they drafted him in the first round in 1980.
The Raiders didn't use 3 WR sets under Flores. They were more likely to use 3 TE's.

1:48:52 They would never do a commercial like that now.
Because American cars suck
Marc wilson got away with throwing 4 picks, and managed to get the win
53:06 that's just unfair with that rocket
