- Finally get back to Denver's 1997 playoff run. Good playoff game between Denver and Kansas City. Defense really won he day for both teams for the most part. Joe Horn who would later be a Saints 4 time pro bowler in the early to mid 2000s got his only playoff reception in this game.
I meant to post this one earlier but I just ended up having to keep pushing it back to here. Hopefully the next Denver 97 playoff game will be more timely.
This game is one of my favorites. The atmosphere of the crowd was electric.
quintessential divisional rivalry in the playoffs. the weather and overall looks of Arrowhead that day adds to it
Ref's blew the touchdown call for Tony G., If replay would have existed Denver would have lost the game.
No his arm went out of bounds and hit the ground before his feet touched the endzone.
As a Chiefs fan since the 1970's this one is still painful to watch all these years later. I may not be remembering correctly but I thought Tony Gonzalez had two touchdown catches nullified, not just the one shown here where he was clearly out of bounds. I think the Broncos and Elway would have found a way to win anyway as they were a team of destiny and was rooting hard for them the rest of the playoffs. It was awesome to see Elway finally get his first championship a few weeks later and go out a two time Super Bowl winner the next season. Interesting note; I didn't know until yesterday that Elway almost was a Raider as then Oakland owner Al Davis had a deal with the Colts who had the first overall pick in 1983. NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle, who hated Al Davis, nixed the deal but allowed Denver to make one with only one first round pick, a backup quarterback and two other picks instead of the three first round picks offered by Oakland plus others for the chance to draft Elway. He may have preferred to play in his home state of California at that time but now Denver and Elway seem made for each other and it worked out well for everyone.
Hard to imagine a chief’s fan rooting for the Broncos after they beat you. Prop’s to you
Always thought they should've stuck with Rich Gannon who won 5 straight going into the playoffs and in the long proved much better than Grbac
@@clickman443
Idk man chalk it up to sunk cost fallacy?
I think Gannon would've, bare minimum, given us more than 10 points. People talk about Denver's "magical" 97 run. The Chiefs absolutely were that year. Except the playoffs ughh. Still not completely over this one or the 95 choke. They should've been so much more
@@CaptainTunnel I feel ya. Gannon would've provided an extra dimension and the team had been fire when he was playing. I don't want to be like cowboys fans who assume Dallas would've won 3 more Superbowls if Jimmy Johnson stayed coaching. But Gannon certainly would've changed the dynamic. Anyway the chiefs got Pat Mahommes now. Denver, well they're still looking for Elway...
Chiefs shoulda won this game 20-14
For a team with the best homefield advantage in the NFL, the Chiefs sure blow it a lot at home.
just like they do every year
they have had it
Not this year! SB 54 champions! Mahomes 15!!
@@davidpadilla8400 u were saying?
50 years later yes I was saying
It’s not like Elvis had a bad game. That last drive was just so strange. They had 3 minutes on the clock when they crossed midfield and somehow let the clock be their enemy.
Its honestly some of the worst clock management of all time by both coaches and players. No one made an effort to get out of bounds 😂
Plus he threw for the end zone on 4th and 1 on the 20. They could have played another 4 downs.
@@SBRS47 so bizarre. I’m a Broncos fan and knew that was pretty lucky how they got off that easy on that last drive.
@@rkid727 often the difference between the Super Bowl winners and everyone else is the right amount of luck. The whole 2015 season was like that with all the fumbles bouncing the right way and few significant injuries.
I know. Patrick Mahomes could have put together a couple of touchdown drives during all the time the Chiefs wasted on their final possession, dilly dallying like they had all day.
I never understood the end of this game. It is forth and one with 18 seconds left on the clock. Throw to the middle of the field, get the first down , set up and spike the ball. You still have time to run at least two plays. In my opinion it was bad field and time management.
Yeah, I remember thinking somewhat the same. I thought the chiefs panicked
He could have walked two steps and got the first down then spiked it.
That last play made no sense
The Best broncos edition Of the history, Back to back
Football with actual contact is amazing
Great Bronco win, great game, heavy weight fight between these two teams
this is what a division rivalry in the playoffs should be all about
The Chiefs allowed 29 SECONDS to elapse after the completion down to the 21-yard line in the final minute. And then threw for the end zone on 4th-and-1. That is legendarily poor clock management and play-calling.
agreed...not sure what GRBAC saw because no one was open in the EZ..
terrific edit
I will never forget freezing my ass off at this game. I'll also never forgive Marty for starting Grbac instead of Gannon who had won eight straight games. Grbac hadn't taken a snap since October and they put him in this playoff game against the toughest opponent, sub zero temperature, and the biggest game with no rhythm with the receivers. We would've won this game with Gannon. I have no doubt he could've scored more than two touchdowns. I threw my Division Champs hat away on the ground in the parking lot. I was 15. Think I'm still a little salty?
Marty had awful playoff luck not just elway
@@packersauburneric3625 The NFL wouldn’t let Marty go to the SB, they ordered him to alter his game plans.
Nobody had a answer for td.
I was 12. I lived overseas and saw the score on Compuserve or something Monday morning. I cried. Tears of joy!
beautiful well matched struggle w/ a running back getting yards old school style - rough n tumble Defensive play. No "new" NFL Indoor TOUCH Football League rules.
This was a great game but the regular season game this season in Kansas City was phenomenal
Now they play Bengals
And this my friends is the last time we beat the chiefs
Besides the QB controversy by Marty Shottenheimer and his clock mana I was impressed that Shanahan beat Marty in his own kind of game which meant he punt the ball pushed them back and play defense
he found the more uneven duel of the game I guess. KC was known for the great defense at the time, their offense had the QB controversy, a Marcus Allen about to retire and a rookie Tony Gonzalez as their main "headlines". And Denver's defense wasn't bad at all either, with Neil Smith, Bill Romanowski, Keith Traylor on the line...
The curse of the missed field goal.
marty shottenheimer has stomach pains to this day when he sees a photo of john elway and poor rich gannon probably wants to forget that football exists
Tera Elektra and it was final Chiefs playoff game with Marty Schotimmer
Terra all Bronco fans agree that if KC had played Rich Gannon instead of Elvis Grbac the Chiefs would have won. Gannon was playing so well and was in "game shape". However Grbac was totally exhausted by the end of that game ending drive and just couldn't finish. Bronco fans are very grateful to Coach Marty Schottenheimer for many reasons.
Yay! We still won!
Those were fun times...........
Bro I remember this game. I'm born and raised in Baltimore City and a Ravens fan. Before we had the Ravens, my Dad was a huge Chiefs fan. I followed them and watched them with him. We got the Ravens in 1996 and I've been a fan ever since. Now I hate the Chiefs lol
You must really hate them now. Lol
Damn!!! The Chiefs had Joe Horn, Andre Rison, and Tony Gonzalez!?! The Broncos still prevailed!!! #BroncosGang
to be fair, Rison wasnt the same guy he was with Atlanta and Horn hadnt arrived yet..Marty played too old school to open up the passing game...
Than we won back to back superbowls the Broncos had stop that long Nfc Superbowl Streak
Chiefs now taking care of NFC
Here's hoping we repeat this year.
What an incredible running back matchup! Marcus Allen vs. Terrell Davis. WTH is that???
The Broncos defense was instructed not to injure Grbac during the game because the coaching staff was afraid of Gannon and his mobility and ability to make plays out of the pocket.
Marcus Allen's final NFL game
Marty's (RIP) last playoff team with KC
Marty's 3rd loss to Elway in the playoffs
It's a damn shame
But he really helped instill a culture in the organization at a time when KC was bottom feeders. That has to count for something. The losses sting, but Marty had a great career. Still love the guy. Wished he would've stuck with Gannon..but hey hindsight ya know
@@CaptainTunnel right....Marty sucked in the playoffs after that 93 season..but he brought KC back from a dark spot and put them on a winning track..what KC is now started with Marty..in a strange way, Elway helped KC restart their franchise...if "the drive" and "the fumble" never happen, Browns never fire Marty and he never comes to KC
You know I would have loved to hear from Allen Aldridge about this super bowl run and why he wasn't on the 2nd run
Chiefs had a first and-10 at the Denver 28-yard line with 1:51 remaining and only managed to run four more plays and gain 9 yards the rest of the way. That's inexplicable.
this game was Marty's last shot in KC at a SB...unfortunately, he made the horrible decision to bench a future MVP QB in Gannon, who had played really good while GRBAC was injured, in favor or GRBAC, who hadnt played in weeks.....his loyalty cost him a likely playoff win..KC D played great
They ended the game with 12 seconds left!!!
Silicone spray smh
Bucky Brooks was on this team
okay. So I've been convinced all these years that TG got robbed and I finally watched the play for the first time and I can actually kind of see the refs argument for incomplete. It a close call at least. I think it was probably a TD but it was a hard call. The refs didnt blow it.
I’m a Broncos fan, but I’m also pretty objective. I don’t hate other teams and it’s just a sport. But the play you’re referring to is pretty clear to me that he landed out of bounds on his own. For me, it looks like he was headed out of bounds regardless if anyone was around him. It was close but refs made the correct call. Good game. Chiefs are looking good for the foreseeable future so hopefully they’ll take advantage of Mahomes while he’s hot. Lord knows it took us forever to finally get one and we had Elway for 15 years.
The real crime was the 4th and 1 play on the last drive. Elvis could have been better.
1 year later the NFL ushered in Coaches Challenges. Rumors were cuz of that call. Chiefs had been able to challenge? U never know......
@@rkid727 that's true. with 15 seconds to go, the indended target should've been the receiver on a shorter play. It's the most expected thing, Denver would be ready for it, but anyways, sometimes you have to stick to the fundamentals.
The play working, he would have another shot for the TD. Can't tell his timeout situation based on this video, but from the looks of it he didn't had any to spare
The Chiefs were out of timeouts and the headset in Grbacs helmet went out so he had to call his own plays on the final drive. I remember watching in disbelief when he went for the end zone on 4th and 1 instead of getting the 1st then spiking the ball.
Revenge tour.
I remember this one well. It was hard to watch them fake that punt alongwith grbac not jus getting the wide open 1st down on that last play. 😒had a guy wide open underneath for like 6 or 7 yards easily. 1st down ! With like 15 seconds to go with spike. Maaaaaaan? 😓
Had no idea Allen played into the late 90's with K.C.
This was his final game
2020, Broncos have currently lost 10 straight games to Chiefs.
Mahomes (6-0) vs Broncos. 4 those 6 @Mile High.
Congrats it took you 50 years.
Mahomes is 5-0 and that has been against some pretty bad bronco teams recently that will change very soon. Also, Peyton was 7-1 vs some pretty good Chiefs teams prior to Super Bowl 50.
Also, in Denver anything less than a Super Bowl win is unacceptable why do you think we have been there more than anyone else except for the cheating patriots
@@davidpadilla8400 ? Chiefs fr 1970-1998 had 1 SB Title and Broncos had 0. Lol.
Mahomes is (6-0) vs Broncos. Game he got hurt he started the game and even threw a td pass b4 he got hurt.
Enjoy losing you're 11th straight vs Chiefs! Lololol.
Broncos were known for getting their assessment kicked in SBs. No on remembers who lost SBS other than the fanbase. Terrell Davis won Elway both his Titles. 3,700yds rushing/36 tds in 1997, 1998 seasons combined. 1,200yds/12tds in 1997, 1998 Playoffs combined.
Also? Who? Peyton Manning. Lol, You mean Den QB fr years ago? Lol, wtf does he have do with anything? Chiefs HAVE CURRENTLY won 10 straight vs Den. You know, meaning RIGHT NOW! Chiefs just need win next 2 over Den to achieve their longest winning streak over Den at 12 straight. Chiefs leads alltime h2h series vs Den (66-55.) Better just enjoy the fact Chiefs fans like me are still even talking about Den. Cuz while Chiefs are about win Back2Back2Back2Back2Back AFC West Titles and potentially many more SBs? Den is about have their 4th straight losing season. Enjoy Drew Lock! Lolololol, I can't believe Den & Elway is so desperate that they can't see Lock sucks and will NEVER get Den to Playoffs. But don't worry, after we tie u all with 3 SB Titles and continue to dominate u? Well move our focus to Pittsburgh fans as our next target.
1966-1998....32 years Den had 0 SB Titles.
KC may went 49 years between SB Titles. But least we had 1 SB Title fr 1970-2019.
There are 12 NFL teams with 0.
"Peyton Manning." Lololololololol..Getting pretty desperate in Denver sounds like.
Alex Smith is no Patrick Mahomes. Get real
6 straight home playoff losses 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
SBLIV Champions!!!!!
Broncos have now lost 10 straight games to Chiefs.
How many touchdowns has Denver scored this year? And how many times do we have to see that pos team on national TV? This reversal of fortune has been LONG overdue. Hope you like it donkey fans 😄
@@CaptainTunnel a we both have tje same amoumt of trophies
@@stevenbrown6720 now KC has 4..Broncos gonna be stuck on 3 for a LONG TIME LOL
Neil Smith had a pretty good game but he’s not the former Chief that hurt us the most, it was Keith Traylor that did. SMH he f****** us up that day.
Yeah they came to denver so they could get rings
I knew by that first hit, and the analyst said his mom duke's just passed, this was gon be a longer and harder game to pull out
Shannon Sharpe sent me here lol
Iam fan Denver, Tony very god 😊
Yes, but give me Kelce
Broncos1 4lyfer. Elway and the broncos were always kcs daddy
There was no holding on that 39yard FG Made by stoyanovich. That was a touchdown to Tony Gonzalez early in the 3rd quarter
his arm landed out of bounds first sorry no TD
@@pedroenrique2062 He was pushed out. Which would have been a touchdown by the rules in 1997
Loved Coach Schottenheimer to death. But he got outcoached here. Completely abandoned the running game and left it in the hands of Grbac.
his biggest mistake this game was benching a hot Gannon for GRBAC...KC probably wins with GANNON..
#SlimeGate
Should of played gannon though. Donkeys always dirty remember the monday night meltdown DT vs Shannon Sharpe
This is also the year they were violating the salary cap
Lol. You guys are still complaining for what happened 20 years ago. Glad to know the Broncos own rent free space in your head
Hahahahahahahaha so true.
Who wears #87 now baby?
Now Denver has a real quarterback in Russell Wilson
This aged so well
Let's riiiiide
Only place they're riding to, is last place
LMAO!
I can't belived that a mediocre team like KC, gave problems to one of the best teams in the history of NFL...
It’s hard to beat good teams in your division, at their stadium, and the 3rd time you played them that year. There’s so much familiarity.
That 97 Broncos was not "one of the best teams in the history of the NFL". They were a very good team that rather overachieved. They won 2 ROAD playoff games to get to the SB, where they UPSET a double digit favored Packer team looking to win there 2nd straight SB. The team they had the following year WAS one of the greatest teams in NFL history, once they got over that SB hump and came in that year on a mission to be remembered as one of the few NFL teams to go back 2 back.
Also, that KC team was NOT mediocre. They went 13-3 in the regular season and had arguably the best home field advantage in the NFL.
@@Riles3152 kc is a mediocre team, even in the present, facts : their previous SB's are in an era where 1 or 3 teams are good, other factor is, when they arrive to playoffs never advanced to a Championship games, a 13-3 team don't prov that they are a good team, and the last factor is, the actual team of kc are good, there's no question of that, but, even so they need refs help to win they last SB... That's why I say that kc is a mediocre team
@@Riles3152 and the other things, I still belived that, the team that beat Packers in the SB, are equal or even better than the team that beat Atlanta in the back to back SB's, because the Broncos 97-98 have the hungry to archive that SB against Green Bay, the next year they have a super team, but don't have the same hungry, they win because are better than Atlanta, but, if that Broncos have face to the Broncos of 97-98... Can garante the Broncos 98-99 prevail?
@@Kibagami07 I'll agree to disagree on KC not being a good team. 13-3 regular season is pretty phenomenal for any team to achieve in the National Football League. They just typically choked in the playoffs and many would blame coach Marty Schottenheimer for his infamously conservative approach and just being out coached.
As far as the 97 and 98 Broncos SB teams, I agree that the 97 team was hungry and driven to get themselves and Elway a SB especially after the all-time upset the previous year against the Jags at home. Yet I disagree that the 98 team didn't have the same hunger. The greatest teams/dynasties in ANY sport may actually be HARDER to beat once they've tasted ultimate victory and knows what it takes to get there. That 98 team had a chance to go undefeated and were even more dominant than the year before. They were on a mission to PROVE that they weren't a one year SB wonder like so many other past and future SB winning teams. They had an entire different reason to be just as hungry and motivated to win it all again.
And we really had Joe Horn at one time but i heard the rumor he smashed a teammate's wife
You serious?
Lol
I have looked for this game on tape or UA-cam for years and and years and finally. At one point, I was convinced that the NFL had done their damndest to keep anyone from seeing the game ever again because they know the refs blew the TG TD call. I envisioned league office lackeys meeting fans in multiple parking garages between KC in Denver in the middle of the night with lumps of cash for their VHS copies. I went as far as to question sports radio guys in KC as to why its so hard to find this game film. Finnally I get to watch it. I would love to get a replay official to comment on it now. Replay would have seen those Donkey asses back to the shitiest town in Colorado I say that with reluctance in my heart now though because baseball has replay now too and if it had been around in 85 then The Royals may have lost the World Series but oh well. For me... This was the most painful loss in my memory of being a Chiefs fan. I was a 16 years old. I remember I cried alone in the bathroom after the game. The sting hung around for months. It was a long winter and of course it was the last gasp of the Marty ball era. This game essentially transformed the team.
You realize Tony Gonzalez's hand was on the white line when he came down, right? Out of bounds.
His hand clearly touchdown out of bounds before his feet making this an incomplete pass however I am very happy you guys came back to beat San Francisco congratulations you have one hell of a football team
Salty Kansas shitty queef fan lol
grbac was terrible. should have stuck with gannon. Shottenheimer made a bad call
Tony Gonzalez was inbounds
Slim is chillin he really wasn’t
His hand came down on the white line. Out of bounds.
Well, A Coaches Challenge would of least gave Chiefs chance. It was diff in the game.
@Terry Bogard Bitter Broncos fan. Who has lost 10 straight games to Chiefs.
In today’s game nah, no such thing as a force out now
The Super Bowl could have & maybe should’ve been kc vs Minnesota 😂
So a rematch of Super Bowl three?
Kc got robbed!
skipthegreat1 you mean got beat
That missed call is why NFL brought in Coaches Challenges.
@@rkid727 Well, Broncos gotten beat 10 straight games now to Chiefs
@@jasonpeters9865 that’s right. Broncos have been beaten 10 straight times because they’re not as good as the Chiefs. That’s how it works. I don’t blame refs like a baby.
@@rkid727 Lol...who's blaming refs? I didn't. I simply said if there was a Coaches Challenge then at least Chiefs would've had a chance. NFL ushered in Coaches Challenge mainly cuz that play. 1999 season.
Enjoy you're 4th straight losing season!
Oh and GL in finding a QB. No "Peyton Mannings out there to buy a Championship" with. Looks like Den gonna have scout one in upcoming Drafts. Trevor Lawrence? If I was a Den fan. THATS who I would want. Best Lock gonna ever do is (7-9, 8-8) as an NFL starter. He's a future career backup. Best job in sports.
Enjoy us tying u all in SB Titles in 3 months!
Chiefs (29-3) vs AFC West last 6 seasons.
Mahomes(6-0) vs Broncos.
4 those 6 @Mile High. AKA "Arrowhead West."
I still love watching the chefs lose
You haven't done much of that here of late have you? Lol.
@@billquantrill4960 Broncos have sucked for years. Not much to get upset about while the team sucks. New day coming up though.
@@brentbman6945Well at least the Chiefs can’t beat the Broncos when it actually mattered.
