Denver Broncos Vs Kansas City Chiefs NFL Primetime 1997 AFC Divisional Round

[@chieftricky]

I miss the old school primetime with Chris Berman and Tom Jackson. They where hands down the best sports duo ever.

[@thecollegeofra]

And the music!

[@jediuli1981]

I’d always look forward to watching the highlights on Sunday NFL prime time

[@REAlMIDOFFICIAL]

This old show music is still the sh*t in 2023. 🔥💯💪

Me too Chris and Tom where the best sports duo ever.

[@thecollegeofra]

What a phenomenal game. I was 14 years old. The Browns had left. I was now a "I will watch the NFL Playoffs neutrally" fan. I was always a fan of football, but this game made me appreciate the game, if that makes sense.

And the best part was Elway went through his old coach on his way to his first Super Bowl victory.

[@baseballboy7964]

Wrong. He beat Reeves for his 2nd ring the following year.

Went to this with my dad and got to skip school the next day. Pretty upset at the time with the loss but soon realized I got to see Elway.

[@broncobilly4029]

Wow, that was a closer game than I remembered. I was getting nervous there at the end. :)

[@shelbysmith5244]

As a Chiefs fan I took a long time to get over that lost. I didn't get over until Super Bowl 54. And Currently, the Chiefs have 4 Lombardi's to Denver's 3 Lombardi's.

[@Marshall_playz15]

It's good to see Chris Berman still do what he does best.

[@reneep9972]

What's that, make a loud mouth, jackass out of himself? Never could stand him. Too bad he wasn't in that car, instead of his wife. He is an absolute blowhard, beyond belief and his stupid nicknames are flat out ridiculous. "George Taco Bell". hahaha, so funny. a 5 year old could've come up with that. I will celebrate the day this blowhard either quits or gets fired from ESPN. 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤮🤮

[@Ironeagle21]

Hard to believe this is the only time these 2 teams crossed paths in the playoffs.

[@ZJBorg]

Always thought Grbac got to much blame for the L in this game. He really made some great plays under duress from a Denver pass rush that had the KC o-line beat almost off every snap. As usual, Marty went Marty in the playoffs: Not taking any deep shots early. Even the fake punt late they’d have been better off just straight up going for it with their offensive personnel then with a punter running.

[@AD-eq4kn]

They still should of started Rich Gannon

[@chieftricky]

Yeah but Gannon had the hot hand going into that playoff game they should of started Gannon and if he would of been struggling then put Elvis in after halftime but that's just my opinion maybe Marty knew something behind the scenes that we didn't know?

[@chieftricky]

@@AD-eq4kn Yeah I agree they should of started Gannon that's why Grbac received so much blame.

[@kenokiehne6346]

@@chieftricky I was born in 96 and I had no idea Rich Gannon and Joe horn played for the chiefs watching the old highlight tapes is crazy for me

[@chieftricky]

@@kenokiehne6346 Yeah Grbac had gotten injured earlier in the season and Gannon came in and out performed Grbac in my opinion and then the playoffs came and Marty played Grbac because he was healthy from his injury and to be fair Grbac didn't play horrible in that playoff game against the Broncos but I just felt they should of started Gannon because he had the hot hand and who knows Gannon could of put up a quick 2 or 3 touchdowns or at least did better than what Grbac did and if Gannon didn't perform well by halftime then put Grbac in. But anyways after we lost that playoff game Gannon went to the Raiders the next season and eventually goes to the Super Bowl so that just showed that Gannon was the real deal.

[@jasonpdsi]

I miss Berman and TJ

[@SammysmSoulGlow]

I'm a lifelong Bronco fan but I feel Schottenheimer made a huge mistake by not starting Rich Gannon that day.

[@lucashenderson2775]

The crazy thing is while Marty made a mistake going with Grbac and he's notorious for playoff meltdowns, the Browns and Chargers have never really recovered since they let him go and the Chiefs took about 2 decades to recover and outdo him by winning the Super Bowl.

[@SammysmSoulGlow]

SWEET VOICES FOREVER

[@AllPro777]

Can you imagine starting Elvis Grbac over Rich Gannon? WTF were these coaches thinking back then?

[@TransKingFormers]

thats because this is 1997 and rich gannon was not that good up to this point and he will later gain success with jon gruden and the raiders in 1999 meanwhile elvis grbac in 1995 and 96 was 49ers back up but steve young was hurt alot so elvis was playing really good those 2 seasons which was what got him the starting job with chiefs in 1997

[@AllPro777]

@@TransKingFormers I remember his career vividly and remember him playing well but always getting passed up for the next supposed hot gun. Gannon was always good, he just hadn't run into a coach who believed in him enough to be the full time starter until he met Jon Gruden. His story is not unique, other players went through similar things. What's sad is that most of those guys never get the shot Gannon did.

[@TransKingFormers]

@@AllPro777 yup while Gannon got be league mvp and start in a superbowl elvis grbac was lucky that 49ers offense made him look good when he had Jerry rice,Brent jones and even a rookie Terrell Owen's but elvis pretty much never had success as a starter after he left left 49ers

[@AllPro777]

@@TransKingFormers My lasting memory of Elvis Grbac was of him crying on the sideline when he blew the season while having one of the best defensive units ever behind him in Baltimore. If I recall correctly, he never played again.

[@AllPro777]

@Ryan Andrews What are you talking about? The point is that Grbac was the intended starter but Gannon was a better QB.

[@walterlv01]

Criminally bad clock management by the Chiefs at the end of the game - they had a first down at the Denver 28-yard line with 1:51 remaining and took the whole rest of the clock to get just four more plays off. Doesn't matter whether you are out of timeouts or not, that is inexcusable.

As much hate as Grbac and Marty get for this game, if Stoyanovich, who was usually money on FGs, makes a 41 yarder, the Chiefs win as they were well into FG range.
