Steelers and Chargers have a History

[topseed]

Better than anyone wants to admit.
They played in a tougher division than us, the Bengals and Oilers combined for 4 or 5 wins that year.
They had a tougher schedule than us.
Their offense was 5th in scoring and defense was 9th.

I'm not saying we should've lost, but I still have no idea why everyone thought we'd roll them. I remember the week lead up to that game, fans were dismissing the game and talking about going to the Super Bowl

No, I will not admit that they were any better. Their quarterback was Stan Humphries, for God's sake, and they got accordingly rolled in the Super Bowl by 3+ touchdowns after embarrassing the Steelers in Pittsburgh as a double-digit underdog.

I was in my early 20s.
Spent $125 in 1995 money expecting to see my favorite team win the AFC and go to the Super Bowl and spend the night partying in the local bars.

I remember 3 plays from the game. Pupunu, McKyer falling down, and the deflection on the ball to foster.

With those plays I remember the cold damp air, Erie silence, and a feeling in the pit of my gut that had never been felt before at that time.

No loss has hurt as much for me. Not 97, 01, 04, 10, 11.....none hurt like that day.

That was half my life ago, still haunts me.

That's fine, we had Neil Odonnell at QB.
