SOP on a doubleheader game--CBS needed to wait for the PHX/PHI, TB/ATL and GB/CHI games to be over before they could take a commercial. (PHX/PHI ran realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly long. :) ) Chicago and Philadelphia were both blacked out of this game.
I remember CBS promoted this game pretty well. Surprised Summerall and Madden didn't get this one. I think it was a doubleheader. And this was after CBS discontinued the practice of placing Pat & John on Giants games, Tim Ryan & Johnny Morris on Bears games etc.
Thank you for teaching me something: since January '90 I'd been wondering all this time why Madden & Summerall sounded so dull on the Flipper OT TD.... Now I know.
@@cedericocosantorini8013 yea. Sort of like Vin Scully calling Dodgers post season games back when he was the lead baseball guy at NBC. He virtually tried to make America know he couldn't stand the Cardinals winning the pennant in Dodger stadium in 1985.
I remembered watching this game at a time when I was new to watching sports on a regular basis, a few months before ny’s mark Jackson won the nba roy award so in this game when they were talking about mark Jackson I felt confused
I’ve been looking for this game for a long time and finally someone uploads it so thanks, this game proved rams were foolish pretenders, sure it was in den but the nfc clobbered den the prev 2 yrs in the sb - teams the rams beat on the road in the late 80s so if those 2 can beat em so can the rams
@@joewanke6000 I'm looking for the same games as you. I don't collect Broncos losses, only the wins. I'll send you a message if I see the ones we're missing.

@@joewanke6000 No, I don't usually look for Broncos games until every 12 months. It's because not many are uploaded often. I look once a year usually and see if anything new is online.

a lot of teams were a bit backward in those days , denver give up 35 points in a quarter in the superbowl and all of their defensive coaching staff keep their jobs for this following season , not as likely to happen now .
@@bradjames891 pat bowlen gets too much of free pass on this era , i don’t see any reason to give a coach more than three or four years , reeves was already in his sixth year as hc before denver got exposed for being too small and light vs the giants , then the following years humiliation , he still was given another three years after the blowout to the 49ers , its like the franchise lacked quality management and leadership , just riding the coat tails of elway , or if elway wanted reeves that was good enough , no wonder elway likes bowlen so much .
I knew it was because the Rams only played in Denver in 82 and 88, we played there in 85 and 94(When I think Greene was in Pittsburgh). Big apology, too, your comment apparently needed to be approved. No idea why, sorry! Go Broncos!
If this matchup happened a yr later also in den I’m sure rams would’ve clobbered em, sure both blown out in the postseason by sf but rams winning at phl & nyg in cold dec/Jan showed they improved from ‘88 while den lost at home to those 2 teams
And that's super important! The Rams: Definitely the 2nd best team of 1989! However, if it was close in the 4th quarter, you know Elway beats Everett. Every time.

Bradshaw is a much better commentator than I realized. He provides great insight into the game.
John Elway had a 21st century skill set back in the 80s.
Dan Reeves' trench coat during this game=BOSS
@2:06:13 Nice sportsmanship from #91. RIP Kevin Greene.
He was a great one.
That was a shot..
NFL Films used that one a few times

Verne was still based in Steamboat at the time, so I think that's probably why. Verne got the Eagles-Broncos game in 89, too.
@@jredwine12 ok. BTW, did you attend the Univ. of Nebraska?

1:02:55 Elway running for 30 yards diving head first at the goal line.
God, he was so awesome! I am so thankful I got to be a Bronco fan and season ticket holder for his career. Go Broncos!
@@jredwine12 he's the greatest
@@jredwine12 that could be the end of his carrer wow
That pass from Montana to rice what nfl buetey

Mark Jackson of the NBA also played for the Denver Nuggets of the NBA1996-97
Also, Steve Smith "Smitty," on NBATV and a Steve Smith who played for the Raiders.

41:13 Elway throws 46 yards TD off balance all arm.
Yes!
The amount of big pass plays that he had while contorting his body to avoid the onslaught is definitely a league record. Go Broncos!!
a lot of teams were a bit backward in those days , denver give up 35 points in a quarter in the superbowl and all of their defensive coaching staff keep their jobs for this following season , not as likely to happen now .
It was a different era of the NFL. As soon as salaries skyrocketed, the pressure went up.

Didn’t Kevin Greene slam into Elway face first in this game?
2:05:50
Ah, there.
He hammered Elway pretty good. J-ballgame was at the top of his game though

No beer was sold at this game because they sold to an underage person in November. So beer sales were suspended for this one game
a real tragedy.

@@jredwine12 I was just wondering are you doing any more denver Broncos games I would love to be see more please upload more please
I find it disappointing pat & John didn’t do this game, same with the ‘89 game vs phl, if a big cbs matchup in den those 2 would usually do it
There had to be a bigger game that day that John & Pat were doing.
Remember the Broncos in 88 were a mediocre team, great in 86, 87 * 89 but this late in the 88 season they were already out of it.
@@rustykuntz94 they weren’t out of by this time. They were tied for first after the game.
