I’m a Chief’s fan now living in Denver. I was at the game with my brother’s family, who travelled from Kansas City to see it. The game was exciting to the very end: Elway versus Montana down to the wire. When Elway tossed their last touchdown, the Broncos fans thought the game was over. Then Montana did the impossible. Even the Denver fans thought it was a classic game and unforgettable experience. They even congratulated our group wearing Chief’s jersey after the game. Unbelievable but true.

I was living in Seattle at the time and the unbelievably stupid ABC station there tape delayed the game so it wouldn’t interfere with the local news. How ridiculous is that? Anyway, I listened to the game on the radio and taped the last half of the game so I could watch it. I hate Denver more than any other team and that was one of the sweetest victories but I’d gladly trade a 1997 playoff win over those cheatin a$$ Donkeys any day.

NFL.com is reporting that the Chiefs have put Jackie Battle on injured reserve. Looks like he will be done for the year with a shoulder injury. I sure hope Colby Smith is about ready to return.

That was the game that broke a long streak of losing at mile high. That was the single greatest victory of the Joe Montana era in Kansas City.

I believe the NFL station on Direct TV played it this summer or early Fall. If I remember right, Derrick Thomas was suspended for the first half for violating a team rule or something like that. The defense played better after he got back in the game. All in all what a great game to watch over and over again. Too bad the kids deleted it on me! Bummer.

I remember the game. Truely a great moment for the red and gold. Far too many times Elway broke our hearts. For just that moment, just then, in their stadium, we did it! I hope we don’t have to wait too many years to be there again!
