FIRST Ever Pittsburgh-Cleveland Playoff Matchup! (Browns vs. Steelers 1994 AFC Divisional Round)

They had their moments. The fact that they didn't have a score-box on screen in 1997, though, when every other network had hopped on board and it had become rather commonplace, was inexcusable

[@JaguarGator8]

We don't talk enough about how the Steelers' loss to the Chargers the following week in the AFC Championship was one of the biggest upsets in playoff history. Nobody was giving San Diego a shot that day, especially after how sloppy they looked against Miami in the divisional round, and after Pittsburgh destroyed Cleveland on this day

Well, how much more should we be talking about it? Do tell. The Steelers took the Chargers much too lightly and lost the game, despite having a first and goal and four attempts to score a TD at the end of the game. Is that enough talking about it?

The on screen board is ubiquitous now. And it's better. But there's times where there's too much stuff on screen. Watching in the 90s (I don't have a frame of reference before then) seemed like a more engaged experience. You had to pay attention to each score and keep track.

At the time of Models announcement, the team was around .500 with a legit shot of making the postseason. After news of the announcement broke, the team fell apart and finished 5-11.
