I was at this game, Whitney Houston and Dionne Warwick sat right in front of me. When I say right in front of me, I mean when they leaned back a little their backs would hit my knees. The Rose Bowl had wood bench seats and the rows were very close together. When I leaned back my back with hit Ted Williams knees. He was sitting right next to Stan Musial. One of my Wolfie Moments.

The Broncos had their chances to upset the Giants. Having that 10-7 lead and having the ball at the 1 and doing nothing with it. Then Rich Karlis missing that very short field goal and then missing another field goal allowed the Giants to stay in the game. Once the fake punt on 4th and inches worked and the Giants scored, the game was over. The Broncos had no running game and they were entirely zeroed in on Elway. Phil Simms couldn't miss in the second half and the Giants defense clamped down on Elway. It wasn't until 11 years later that Elway finally had a running game in Terrell Davis and a defense that stepped up in the Super Bowl that the Broncos FINALLY won their first Super Bowl.

[@DeplorableJaredBrodersen]

Very well said! That's how I see it too. Who the hell was Sammy Winder? If the Broncos had a better running back they could've won this. But your qb can't be the leading rusher if you want to win Superbowls.

Remember, Cleveland was without Earnest Byner throughout those playoffs, would he have given it a go in that Super Bowl? Most likely yes. Their best back was Kevin Mack that season. Curtis Dickey did not play in the AFCCG v Denver and would have been questionable going into that Super Bowl v Giants. Phil Simms went 22-25 v Denver’s secondary. Cleveland’s secondary would have been more formidable (two all-pros in Dixon and Minnifield) for Simms and the Giants O. That said, Simms would be I’d say about 16-24 v Cleveland.

Cleveland didn't even earn the right to be a part of the Super Bowl discussion. The 1986 12-4 Browns had home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs that year. Here's what they did with their home field advantage: Divisional Round: Beat the 10-6 Jets 23-20. AFC Championship: Squandered a 20-13 lead in the 4th Quarter and lost to the visiting 11-5 Broncos 23-20 in OT. A "championship" defense doesn't surrender a 98 yard TD drive late in the 4th quarter. The Browns didn't protect their own house - giving up 43 points at home in two games (21.5 points/game). Here's what the 14-2 Giants did with their homefield advantage: Divisional Round: Thrashed Joe Montana and his 10-5-1 49ers 49-3. NFC Championship: Shut out Joe Gibbs' 12-4 Washington Redskins 17-0. The Giants championship defense held their opponents to just THREE points (1.5 points/game) in the NFC playoffs, and 23 points in THREE games (7.6 points/game) when you include the 39-20 victory over Denver. The Giants not only protected their house in the NFC playoffs, they made their opponents pay dearly for entering their house. Giants were the hungrier team in 1986, after their 1985 10-6 season came to an end after a 17-3 NFC Wildcard win over the 49ers the week prior then getting shutout 21-0 by the 15-1 Bears during the 1985 NFC Divisional Round which provided them with extra motivation.

I can never figure out , why with such a awesome defense , and pretty good offense they couldn't get back again to the SP instead of Wash, Strike year.. joke.

If I'm a Giants fan in 1986, I'm relieved that the Browns lose the AFC championship game due to Elway's late-game heroics, because the Browns match up better against the Giants than the Broncos do.

The Browns would have lost the SB however. Don't overrate the Browns, they were lucky to even made it past the injury depleted Jets.

SingleTax Really? Let me tell what the Giants were saying in the NY papers leading up to the Super Bowl. "No disrespect to Bernie Kissers but compared to Elway, he would have been a stationary target in the pocket and no way would have he survived the first half. I tend to agree and one more thing. As good as Cleveland's running game was, NOBODY ran on the Giants, nobody.

Broncos were a better team than the $hitstains. Period.

Defensive players 💘 to signal a safety.
