That Drop by Stevie Johnson is iconic

Just plain a heartbreaker.

[@VibeDoctor98]

Such a great run route, he tracks the ball completely, good hand placement it just... goes wrong

[@TheLocalLt]

Better known as “the Stevie Johnson Game” 9:59 “He’s got Johnson! OH he dropped the ball! That would have been the game winner!” Shame since he had a huge game and this would have been a huge upset… typical Fitzmagic type game

[@NavyP2013]

That drop hurt me deep but still love Stevie. Even with Revis in his prime one of the few receivers that could get separation against him, one of the most underrated route runners

[@naplesluck]

I still think Stevie is the best route runner of all time. 3 straight 1000 yard seasons on a run first team with no much else on offense so they could double team. He wasn't the biggest dude and he wasn't fast, but was almost always open. Only receiver the one season to get a touchdown on Revis. We called him jelly legs because of the odd way he would make cuts and jukes.

Top 5 most heartbreaking loses in Bills history. The 4 Superbowls are the others.

[@gregorylarson2640]

Did you forget about the Music City Miracle? That loss was more wrenching than three of those Super Bowls.

[@EsotericHighway]

Nick Michael you sure? There’s been a lot of them

[@ncnuggets]

@@EsotericHighway I remember watching that game and just thinking that maybe curses are real. That game changed my entire view on football and the Bills. The MCM was most definitely hard to watch too but it was the tough loss games after that basically turned the franchise into what it is now. Those were the games they needed to turn face. Look at how they're viewed now. 9-4 and really noone has much faith. I'll remember Stevie drop much longer than I will a blown call for a forward pass. (Because that's wtf it was)

[@credzcribb7439]

[@lennerzbell2657]

3:43 am I the only one to see Fitzpatrick try and light up Polamalu and be kinda successful?

[@Los150]

I'd almost forgotten what monster Polomalu was. He was all over the place.

[@SPTO]

I loved Stevie and he made some great catches with the Bills but he dealt just as much heartache with his ill-timed drops. He had all the skill in the world to be a really good #1 receiver but the issues with ball security prevented him from being one.

[@shariffsingh8593]

10:05 U can literally feel the heartbreak in the arena when he drops it 🤕

[@devynyates1929]

As a Pittsburgh fan, polamalu was the best thing to ever happen to us. His versatility is just crazy

[@TheGreatBoomy25]

Good ol Fitzmagic, Lindell always nailing field goals at any distance, Jackson getting loose all the time, and although he had a rough game...Stevie Johnson always was putting on a show with the shirts underneath the jersey and that. He was always getting fined for having too much fun out there haha. Fun times man.

[@julianharrison7193]

The fact that the Steelers had a 97% win probability in the 3rd with only a 2 score lead is actually kinda crazy

[@EsotericHighway]

lol right, like who determined that. Doesn’t make sense

[@toddpeucker9905]

Julian Harrison would be a bit crazy for most teams, but if you look at Steelers historical stats, they stand alone by far when they have leads on opponents. I believe they have only 5 losses when up by 10 at ANY time in the game and something like 2 losses when up by 11 or more. Those two conditions have been met hundreds of times and yet regardless of year or opponent or quarter of the game....they simply don't lose when ahead by those margins. This is over a span of 86 yrs!! No other team comes even close with those same margins in place. It's Pittsburgh then an ocean of distance to the next best team in that regard.

[@sethhogan4627]

One of the most heartbreaking bill's lost other than the wide right field goal

[@chrisarokium5645]

Music city miracle #TitanUp

[@duke7424]

Don't forget the 1999 Music City Miracle in Wild Card Playoff (that started the longest Playoff drought in the NFL till 2 years ago), plus the 2007 Monday night football (finally primetime game in Buffalo) game against the Cowboys where the Bills, gave up an onside kick and FG winning kick as time expired. This game, and then obviously Norwood wide right (SB) against the Giants. There have been many others the last 30 years but those are the ones that really come to mind.

Stevie Stonehands Johnson the drop which haunted him throughout his entire career in the NFL.

[@thebourg]

Took 9 more years but the Bills finally exorcised some demons against the Steelers

[@depuis1hi]

The Steelers offense from 2008-2010 was the answer to the question; what if you had a hall of fame qb, an all-pro rb, a pro bowl te, one of the best receiving corps ever, but the worst offensive line in football.? The answer? A terrible offense, that's what you get. The oline makes the offense..

[@andywright1010]

Feel ya, but was Mendenhall ever all-pro? This game looked to be (almost) given away on the defensive side. Troy literally will'd that win.

[@gooseofwar5711]

[@Lew2000]

Troy is a legend. He should have made the NFL 100

[@RamenRobbie]

That drop by Johnson...exactly why I always say the Steelers are the luckiest team in NFL history. NFL Throwback should pull up the Browns-Steelers game where the Browns blocked the Steelers' field goal, but the Steelers recovered it and kicked another one to win it.

[@kgbcia1642]

I don't know about the luckiest, if that was the case Pittsburgh would have 9 titles instead of 6 .

As a Bills fan I'll never forget this game. Stevie Johnson had that ball. Also Troy polamalu's hits and that game would have been a penalty for helmet-to-helmet so many times if the rule was different back then like it is now. But the Bills beat the Steelers this week and are 10-4 now so it's sweet. Love my BILLS. Also the bills still hold the biggest comeback in the NFL till this day.

Stevie Johnson was a clown but for some reason he was the only WR in the NFL who lit up Darrelle Revis in his prime when they played each other

[@rayaguayo2287]

Jeremy Thompson That reason was his route running, one of the best route runners. Too bad he didn’t put in the work to get to the next level, he could’ve been great. His hands were frustrating (as this game shows). Enjoyed having him in Buffalo, imo, an excellent slot receiver.

Ed Reed was the man, but Polamolu was the best!

[@moistball3854]

what my dad always told me about this game, because i went to it, is that the bills lost on purpose because if they won they wouldve fell down multiple picks. but losing the game solidified the 3rd pick.

[@andrewlawrence2344]

I remember this game. Broke. My. Heart. I remember them losing to the ravens in overtime too that year. It was a year characterized by a bunch of close loses Just double checked they went 4-12 but of the loses 6 were determined by 1 score, 4 by a field goal, 3 of them coming in overtime. Flip those to wins that would have been good enough for a 10-6 record and a wild card berth.

[@ogreman-lll-957]

I just realized those bills jerseys were still their alternates at the time and not the main jerseys yet

[@MrDariusJWilliams]

Some NFL throwback ideas for week 15: DEN @ KC, 2001 (forget the week, but it was late November; it went to OT and KC won), or DEN @ KC, 2002 (another OT game, but DEN won). IND @ NO, 2003 (ESPN SNF; Colts scored a lot, forget if it was a blowout or shootout, but pretty sure IND won). SD @ MIN, 2007 (Adrian Peterson breaks Jamal Lewis' single-game rushing record). Really like reliving these throwback games (from 1998 on, the first year I started watching the NFL).

[@fredleeland2464]

Or the Texan Titans game with Vince Young winning in OT

[@MrDariusJWilliams]

@@fredleeland2464 Oh yeah, that one too. Or maybe the MNF game from 2009 where Vince Young led them on a GW drive in Houston.

Kudos to Roethlisberger turning a near-sack on 3rd and 18 into a 1st down without even throwing the ball.

[@JamesErb00]

[@martinbradstreet5728]

This is just as painful to watch for me, a Bills fan, ten years later SMH!!!!

[@jacobrklein7175]

Important thing to remember from this game: the Steelers had the #1 rushing defense in the league at this point in time. Knowing this, the Bills instead threw the ball A LOT and only ran to keep Pittsburgh honest. Now, the Bills did not win this game, but Chan Gailey provided the blueprint needed to beat the Steelers, one that the Packers used successfully in the Super Bowl that year.

[@jacobrklein7175]

Another thing to point out: Kyle Williams was a beast in this game, and it was this game that led to him making his first Pro Bowl appearance.
