1987 Divisional Round Colts @ Browns

Eric Dickerson and the Colts find themselves in the playoffs for the first time since 1977, as they travel to Cleveland to take on Bernie Kosar and the Browns, who look to make it to the AFC Championship for a second straight year.

I was at this game with my Dad and I still have the ticket stubs. Man it was cold, we had our feet inside of plastic trash bags to cut the wind and wrapped in a moving blanket. Dad's gone now but we often talked of eating breakfast in a bar in the Flats off a one-burner stove. Drunk fans already in full garb at 8am ish...barking, woofing and eating. One of my best memories with Dad.

Thanks for putting this on KZbin. Haven’t watched this in decades, as I lost my VHS tape, but still remembered some of the commentators lines.

From a Bears fan: the Browns were a good team in the late 1980s

[@PredatorKingdom]

I loved this theme for the NFL on NBC in this era and this was the Colts first ever playoff game since moving to Indianapolis from Baltimore back in 1984.

[@ssshhclos405]

Yeah… a lot of childhood memories…

Glad I found this channel, thx man

[@johncaparulo4800]

It's a shame that Earnest Byner's name is so synonymous with "The Fumble" because his playoff numbers were really impressive aside from that one big mistake.

[@brianbachmeier34]

True. I always remember him as a well rounded player who was about marking his teams better and willing to adjust his roles. He was a big contributor on the 1991 Redskins super bowl team.

[@johncaparulo4800]

@@brianbachmeier34 Yeah he did have a tendency to fumble quite a bit while he was in Cleveland. But Earnest Byner always played big in big games. Getting traded away like he did for Oliphant was just disrespectful.

[@ryanheather4309]

Glad he won the Super Bowl with Washington.

The Drive was way worse than the fumble. Browns were at home in 86 and had a 20-13 lead with Elway on the 2 yd line and they let them tie it. In 87 Browns were down 38-31 and it just would have been tied at 38.

[@johncaparulo4800]

@@christiancharles2866 True. But as a Browns fan through so many tough years back then, The Fumble actually hurt me even worse than The Drive. After blowing a 21-3 lead at Miami in the '85 playoffs and then The Drive in '86, the Browns dug themselves out of a 21-3 and then a 28-10 hole at Mile High in the '87 AFCC. But unlike the slow death of The Drive, our high hopes were crushed in the blink of an eye when Castille stripped Byner at the goal line. Both losses were painful, but that one has always bothered me the most.

Thanks for posting these old school games!! Love it

Colts only playoffs appearance in the 1980s.

[@Brodie--lw6eb]

My dad took me to this game, it was my first live Browns/Ravens game and we stopped at McDonalds beforehand. We both had Big Mack Attacks which came with a Kevin Mack bandana, it happened to be the first time I had a Big Mac! During the game I took part in the (good natured) pelting of a group of Colts fans with milk bones. After the game I got separated from my dad when a group of drunken dudes grabbed me, one of the guys put me on his shoulders and we danced on the third base dugout. My Dad also left the wool blanket he had possessed since his days on the USS Enterprise at our seats when he went to find me. Now he knew they had made of with me, and what vicinity we were in, he just wasn’t sure exactly where I was. We forgot to go retrieve the blanket...memories

[@shanetrimble9265]

Great story.

[@Hotspur77]

Browns were NFL royalty in 1987, and Municipal Stadium was unquestionably the most iconic - and intimidating - home field in the NFL. Lambeau, for all its small-town charms, was a HS field compared to this monumental stadium. Alas, rather than renovate it, Cleveland city leaders opted for a “modern” (i.e. generic) stadium. That decision was precipitated, of course, by Art Modell’s stupid, greedy move to Baltimore.

[@crosstatt7441]

I wish that Modell would’ve made more promises with his head instead of his heart. Also, he should’ve NEVER agreed to take the old stadium off the city’s hands. He also needed to handle money better. Then, he would’ve gotten the stadium he wanted.

I was born on the last Cleveland Browns Championship game. I need another before I pass way on this earth God🙏🖤😷🧘‍♂️✊Please. Bucket list type of Browns Love✊✊✊Let's Go Browns 2020

[@craigcelgin2755]

Very interesting game. Both teams were and will soon be in Baltimore

[@jln55]

The Browns of the last 20 years are not even a shell of this team.

[@americansaxon2101]

39:58 the foreshadowing of the next game was "The Fumble". ... chilling.... I STILL love my Brownies!

[@andrewwashington9904]

Love this!!!

[@k.p.5736]

Kosar, Mach, even sounds like football .. miss those days ..!

[@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820]

It's eerie how Cleveland foreshadowed their own downfall in both the 1986 and 1987 divisional games. In 1986, they had a 98 yard drive to score. And in this one, the Byner fumble as he was closing in on the end zone.

[@anonymousanonymity2815]

steelers ravens week 6 1997 pleeeeasse my parents went to it and it was their first football game they went to and it would make them really happy to rewatch it. If you can't then please the 1995 afc championship between the colts and steelers.

[@geo1303]

I swear in the 1980s Cleveland had snow of some sort on the field by mid November.Now I hardly see snow ever at their games.

[@andrewmartinez9992]

Do u got 1999 49ers vs Cardinals where Steve Young played his last game

[@maximummax9851]

Can you please do the 1969 divisional game between Chiefs vs Jets

[@Jackofalltrades892]

Do you have the 1982 Patriots and Dolphins Snow plow game...

[@carseye1219]

The Browns always looked best when they wore the all-white as their home uniform. They looked bigger than the other teams. The white, with the orange helmets, popped against the gray Ohio skies. In contrast, they looked smaller than the Raiders when they wore brown/orange in the "Red Right 88" game.

The playoff debut for the Indianapolis colts

[@savagebricksports1]

do you have any old episodes of nfl primetime or best damn top 50?

[@frankiesacco]

i've got many old NFL Primetimes, nothing on best damn top 50 though

[@JohnDoe-nj3vj]

@@frankiesacco I would appreciate any Houston Oilers games from 87-90. Anything in that time period. I am sure you are sick of people asking, but the Oilers are gone, and this time period is lost.

Can you get the Saints and Chargers from last week?

[@tombradley37]

The Old Baltimore team vs The Future Baltimore team, nine years later Browns Offensive Coordinator Lindy Infante would become the Colts head coach!

Love to see these old games as I use to roll to Cleveland Stadium but, have been on the West Coast for over 20 yrs. 🧘‍♂️🙏😷🖤✊🥂🍾🎣Peace on earth in the Pacific Northwest and the Seahawks as well. Browns always and Seahawks NFC team now. GO Browns Go Hawks ✊✊✊🙏😷

1:31--2:21.

[@Barbarianbrotha]

I don't think Kosar Mack or McNeil would make in today's NFL. Kosar and Mack are too slow and McNeil at 145lbs is too small. Byner is one of the only players that would make it in today's NFL.

[@kenp7814]

Where would you put Chubb? 1) JB 2) Leroy 3) Motley 4) Mike Pruitt 5) Gregg Pruitt 6) Ernie Greene 7) Byner 8) Mack 9) Metcalf 10) Hillis
