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."

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.

They basically had 2 shots to score from the 1 if they run the ball...I like those odds.

That ‘99 was super stacked and arguably their greatest team and lost to a division rival they had lost to (changed) twice during the season. Oakland Raiders: 1972 Divisional vs Pittsburgh Steelers. Immaculate Reception. Voted by NFL Network as the greatest play in NFL History. A statue of this play sits at Pittsburgh’s major airport. Even Coach Madden (RIP) denied the validity of the result to his dying day. As a Raider fan, I’d give this one a slight edge of the “Tuck Rule” Game because of its historic significance.

The Cardinals should have won against the Steelers, cause Holmes did not have both toes down, left toe was down but the right never touched the turf.

[@Rockhound6165]

@@Anonymous-gh8kt worse than that, there were at least 2 penalties on Harrison's INT return that went uncalled.

[@Scott-nr2ji]

@@Anonymous-gh8kt Yes, that maybe one of the worst calls I ever saw in playoff history. Signing off, a Redskins fan who moved to Phoenix in the early 2000s. (The only worst call was the saints getting jipped so that LA could go to the Super Bow AT HOMEl semi-recently)

[@RYMAN1321]

I feel the Bengals loss in SB XXIII, Bills in SB XXV, Cardinals in SB XLIII, and the Falcons in LI were the absolute worst knowing just how painfully close they came to winning it all and knowing they never got that close again

[@shauncameron8390]

And the Bengals' recent SB loss all but completely mirrored SB XXIII. Had the lead at crunch-time , but the defense couldn't keep the opponent out of the end zone.

That 2002 Eagles loss to Tampa Bay was earth-shattering. Everyone in my family, including my parents, went to bed in tears that night

[@johnoconnor6356]

That night, after the Eagles last game at the Vet, I had a nightmare that the city of Philadelphia looked like a war zone the next morning, that angry Eagle fans were tearing down everything in sight. Again, it was only a bad dream I had in my sleep. After the Rhonde Barbour interception, as he was running away, I was actually anticipating the announcer to yell, "LOOK AT THAT SON OF A BITCH RUN!!!"

That 2006 chargers loss to the patriots still hurts knowing we where the much better team, colts where next & bears after in the super bowl!!!

RG3's career being ruined was far worse than the playoff loss.

Yea he was supposed to be the next big thing and I forgot all about him

The Chiefs also had the Christmas 1971 Divisional Game where they lost in double overtime by a Dolphins field goal.

[@crimsonkid3820]

That was arguably worse for them, since they were favored and playing at home--a truly awesome game.

[@erosennin211]

Ah yes, the Bert Emmanuel catch. Literally changed the game after that loss. Would've loved to have seen that Bucs D against McNair and the Titans in the SB.

[@joesmortgageminute8224]

Before I even hit 'play' I knew that would be the game they'd pick. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Bucs be the one to break another team's heart. (The Eagles)
