The Broncos most heartbreaking playoffs loss, I gotta say, would still have to be the 1996 Divisional loss to the Jaguars. The reason being that, despite Peyton Manning being a beloved part of Broncos history, John Elway was always The Man in Denver. 1996 looked like it was going to be their last, best chance at him winning a Super Bowl. Denver was far and away the best team in the AFC, and Jacksonville didn't look like they were going to be any serious competition. They were a 2nd year expansion franchise that barely squeezed into the playoffs. The Broncos were up 12-0 after the 1st Quarter and were rolling. And lost. The 2012 Ravens had been to the AFC Championship Game the previous season and were still a solid team that we knew could pull things off. The Jags came out of nowhere to win in 1996. Our jaws were wide open after the Broncos failed to convert that last onside kick. We all were like, "How could this happen?!?" That's the difference. Oh, and The Ice Bowl. People all over the area had trouble starting their cars that morning, and there were reports that at least one person died in the stands due to exposure. It was so cold that they canceled the marching band performance at halftime and the referees got rid of their whistles because they were sticking to their lips. What was it, -15* in Green Bay that afternoon? I still love hearing Vince's admonishment to Bart Starr before that final QB sneak. "Okay, run it, then let's get the Hell out of here."

Lots of recency bias in some of these picks. Chargers’ loss to a depleted Oilers team in ‘79 or the loss to the Raiders in ‘80 were at least as bad as the Patriots game. Washington’s shellacking in Super Bowl XVIII to the Raiders was worse than RGIII getting hurt. Older Cowboys fans have always told me the loss to the Colts in Super Bowl V was way worse than the Packers NFL title losses. And speaking of the Colts, Super Bowl III????! Anyway… Hard disagree on the Steelers toughest playoff loss. Super Bowl XXX was frustrating, but the loss the year before to the Chargers in the AFC Championship Game was worse. 2001 AFC Championship against the Patriots was bad too. Way tougher to lose as a big home favorite than to lose in a game you weren’t necessarily expected to win. Even if it is the Super Bowl. How about the loss to the Raiders without Harris and Bleier in ‘76? Any older fans remember that one?

[@kvernon1]

All good stuff! It's really hard for some teams to just pick one, isn't it?

Agreed. Getting embarrassed in the Super Bowl as the record-breaking defending champions is way worse than a Wild Card loss. Same with the Colts; they completely shat the bed as enormous favorites on the biggest stage. It's such a historic loss that it is inextricably woven into the fabric of the league's history. Also, the Broncos being upset by the Jaguars in 1996 and suffering the worst ass-kicking in Super Bowl history had to be worse or at least on par with the Mile High Miracle

Pre-Mahomes in the playoffs the Chiefs were 9-18 (over 55 years). With Mahomes, they are 8-3 (in 4 years). Although I hate to assume, it is likely that Mahomes will have the same or more playoff wins in 5 years than the rest of the 55 year team history. The same amount of playoff wins in 9.1% of the time. Even though this last one hurt (and it did, but kudos to the Bengals. Their game plan clearly worked), it's still far better than where they were.

I still hurt watching my Titans lose the SB by a yd. I sure miss the warrior that was Air McNair😢

[@djhines05]

I'm a Ravens fan, & we also LOOOOVED AND MISS McNair. I was rooting for y'all that year because of McNair. Always a fan of his. I wanted him to get a Super Bowl ring soooo bad! 😔😔😔 We Ravens fans was sad & cried when he died. RIP Steve....🙏🏼😢💔🕊🕊🕊

[@crimsonkid3820]

Well, they didn't "lose" the game by one yard, they "lost" the shot at winning it in overtime--no guarantee that they would have done so though.

[@ChawletMelk]

I genuinely think Pete Carroll didn't run the ball because of what happened to him in the Rose Bowl against Texas. Lendale White stuffed on 4th and 2 because everyone knew it'd be a run to their bruiser back.

[@RedWhiteAndBlue4evr1]

Or just the exact reason people are still mad about it today...because he had the best RB in the NFL. Everyone in the stadium thought it was going to Lynch. If that play worked, then people would still be talking about how brilliant Carroll was. And I hate the Seachickens. I like that they lost. But to me it was very smart to use Lynch as a decoy. Carroll probably should have faked a handoff to Lynch and had Wilson bootleg with a pass option. Easy to be a Monday morning QB though.

[@bryancoats5328]

I heard a rumor, again just a rumor, that Paul Allen the owner did not want Marshawn Lynch to get the ball and win the MVP because he didn’t want to talk to the press. Not sure if it’s true, but wouldn’t be surprising

[@jimmyplenderleith9471]

@@bryancoats5328 That is the first comment I've ever heard about that play that actually might make sense.....

[@jimmyplenderleith9471]

There are 28 or 29 seconds left in the game when the ball is snapped and its second down. IF Lynch gets stuffed, there is a LOT of time to get lined up and spike the ball on third down. You still have one more shot from the 1, so I dont see the Lendale play in the 05 Nat Title game being a reason why Carroll would do what he did. They basically had 2 shots to score from the 1 if they run the ball...I like those odds.

[@hiflyer000]

@@jimmyplenderleith9471 They still had a timeout left so they wouldn't have had to spike the ball. I think they figured NE would expect a run so they decided to try and trick them with a throw instead, which even in hindsight was a dumb call. If Lynch gets stuffed so be it, call timeout and pick your best goal line play and hope for the best.

Frankly for my Chiefs it should have been the 28 point collapse against the Colts in 2013. That was the type of loss that made you want to stop watching sports. The Chiefs started 9-0 that year, but couldn't get their first playoff win in more than 20 years, which was just devastating as a fan. Whereas with the 2019 AFC title game it felt like it was just the beginning and we would be back, which we were.

[@forman208]

That was actually a very good list. Most of the time these are filled with absolutely laughable selections, but I felt like you got nearly all of them right. The only ones I'd disagree with WFT: I'd pick their SB loss to the Raiders over a wildcard loss, though I understand that marked the end of RG3 Bears: I'd pick either their SB loss to Indy or the double doink game over your selection

[@untexan]

I was going to say, Washington got *destroyed* in that Super Bowl and no one else came close to giving them a beating like that. The only other games they lost that year were both by one point.
