The NFL's Greatest Games - 1986 AFC Divisional HD

[@MarvinClay-ck7zj]

Another forgotten AFC classic. Bernie Kosar was such an underrated quarterback.

[@dispassionateobserver]

I love BK. He played with so much heart and he always put us in a position to win these big games.

[@MarvinClay-ck7zj]

@@dispassionateobserver totally agree. The Browns were never out of any game as long as he was in at quarterback.

[@markmerberger7997]

You had to see it Live, this is where I was on that day !

[@johncarter1297]

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.

[@dispassionateobserver]

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.

[@z71pack]

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

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.

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.

[@Ghost_of_a_Flea]

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.

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

Remember that game like it was yesterday. Lol.

[@DeplorableJaredBrodersen]

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.

18:15 such beautiful camerawork

[@gski201]

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...

[@anthonyvasquez1316]

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.

[@adamdorgant9454]

You’re right about that!!!!

[@Longenecker1776]

Unfortunately the Broncos couldn’t put up a fight in the Super Bowl.

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.

Browns had more chances in this one. glad they won.
