The Bills and Browns played a classic shootout on an ice cold field during the 1989 AFC Divisional Playoff Game. The weather proved to be a a tough challenge as touchdowns were given up and field goals were lost due to slipping. With the field giving an equal treatment of mishaps to both teams, the game came down to a game saving interception by Browns linebacker Clay Mathews at his own 1 yard line with 3 seconds remaining in the game.

    Browns stadium, the telecasters, the environment..this was amazing
  • @jessier.4237
    That dawg pound roar is unforgettable...and I love how Charlie and the announcers of the past let you live in and relish the moment. Today's announcers love to talk over these big moments and beat it to death...
  • @SNESdrunk
    Eric Metcalf is one of the most underrated players ever. He could do everything
  • @jdt2003
    No replay challenges, no cell phones, no targeting penalties. On a baseball field. Glorious.
  • As a Bills fan, this game broke my heart, but man I'll tell you....THIS was real football. Ancient stadium, beat up turf, rabid fans, hard hits, two blue collar Rust Belt cities squaring off in a playoff game that literally went down to the wire. I miss the old NFL man.
  • @Bellcity
    I'm not a Browns fan but I do enjoy watching the Browns in the 80's. It's too bad that they didn't win at least one Super Bowl during that era.
  • @Hotspur77
    Love the way NBC broadcasts this game - after each Browns score, Jones and Olsen stay silent and let the insanity of that stadium crowd just wash over you....thrilling. The pace, intensity of the home crowd, the human drama of it all is conveyed vividly. Today's NFL TV producers should pay close attention to these games of the late 1980's/early 90's - this is the apex of NFL broadcasting. By the way, the Browns fans of the Municipal Stadium era have never been equaled by any other fan base before or since in their devotion and enthusiasm...even the din in Minnesota after the "Minneapolis Miracle" pales in comparison to the bacchanalian mayhem that was regularly on display in Brownstown when Kosar had the Browns in yearly contention. If the Browns ever get back to the top...this is a taste of what it might feel like.

    The Slaugther/Langhorne high five was so freaking cool. Not even a Browns fan.
  • @bartman20010
    I was at this game. I was 13 years old and it was my first Browns game. Incredible game. Some amazing sights in and outside the stadium that day. I'll never forget it.
  • Hands down one of the greatest playoff games of the 1980's in the NFL.
  • @RPatrick185
    What a thrill to watch, Great game!! The dirt, the puff dusk, the old Brown's uniforms, the throwback to the late 80's!! The Dawg pound-what a noise!! A great game with all the conditions, great end to the game. Charlie Jones, I love his commentary..just his voice alone sets the tone. Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, Kosar, Matthews, Smith, Thomas, Metclaf a All star line up. GREAT GAME, Pleasure to watch it!!
  • @shipofthesun
    Bernie Kosar looked like he clanked when he ran. And yet, he was one of the top 2-3 QB's of his era, just an amazing player. Disappointing that the Browns couldn't quite get to the SB, but watching him run that offense was a joy and a thing of beauty forever.
  • @matthewcole9418
    1989 was the season where numerous Cleveland Browns Players spray painted their cleats orange and then spated them with white tape. That was an awesome look.
  • @joe6096
    I'm a lifelong Browns fan, lifelong Clevelander, and I was 12 years old when this game was played and I remember every second of it. I just watched the whole thing and at 41 I have chills down my spine. For those of you not from Cleveland, you have no idea what it was like at that old Municipal Stadium for a Browns game when our team was really good. What that guy in that owners box did (who btw has our current President sitting with him) to this city when he stole our team to Baltimore will never be forgiven. It has never been the same since we lost those original Browns. This game is one for the ages. Amazing.
  • @gospos1
    Wow!...video quality is so good it seems like it could have been played today!...Charlie Jones and Merlin Olsen (RIP to both) in the booth with both being classic voices of a generation of NFL fans, oh and dirty jerseys being played on natural grass BASEBALL FIELDS!!...does NOT get better then this!!!
  • @nyakiiyo6692
    Call me crazy but I love the Cleveland Browns colors and uniforms. They are so classic, so simple, so football perfect. I love that they have only made moderate changes, if any, through the years. I see very good things coming Cleveland’s way, all that suffering is not going to be in vain. I’m stuck here in Seattle with arguably the most hideous uniforms ever. I grew up in Connecticut and did like the Patriots as a kid, especially their old uniforms. Really wish they’d go back to them. But the Browns have always had a place in my heart. Great city, great fans. I’d love to see a game there someday.
