The Chargers scored 14 unanswered points in the second half to upset the heavily favored Steelers. Although Pittsburgh held advantages in total plays (80–47), total offensive yards (415–226), and time of possession (37:13–22:47), it was San Diego who made the big plays. The Steelers scored first on quarterback Neil O’Donnell’s 16-yard touchdown pass to Fullback John Williams. Then after the two teams exchanged field goals in the second quarter, Pittsburgh kicker Gary Anderson made a 23-yard field goal to give his team a 13-3 advantage.
Midway through the third period, Chargers quarterback Stan Humphries faked a handoff, fooling the Steelers defensive backs long enough to find tight end Alfred Pupunu wide open to complete a 43-yard touchdown. With 5:13 left in the game, Humphries threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Tony Martin, who out-jumped defensive back Tim McKyer to make the catch and give the Chargers a 17-13 lead. Pittsburgh then marched from their own 17-yard line to the San Diego 3 to put themselves in position for a potential winning touchdown. However on fourth down, Chargers linebacker Dennis Gibson sealed the victory by tipping away O’Donnell’s pass intended for running back Barry Foster. It’s also worth noting that the Steelers lost for the first time during the season in which they held a led at halftime. (In 1994, the Steelers were 9-0 when leading at halftime prior to this game.)

Dude…Thanks for the short walk down memory lane. I’ll file this in the “Who gives a shit” can over in the corner. Are you trying to say that history will repeat itself?

That’s all it was piggy, a short trip into the past. I remember watching a gimpy Stan Humphries eat up the Steelers D all day long.
I don’t think history will repeat itself, if it does I’m sure you’ll be there on the shitter drinking a PBR whilst stroking your mullet. Just like in 95.

This game was brought to you by the bold disgusting taste of Zima.
Ah…those were the days.

M, Here I thought you were gonna go Mikestrodamus on us and give an insightful futuristic view of things to come. What I really got was the end result of a ShooterB New Years Eve Peyote party complete with chunky hookers and Zima/Red Bull/Jaeger shots. Could the next recap be of a game that Lions won?

FYI - They are considered hookers if you pay them in pastries.
WTF - Did Miracle actually use the word “whilst”? You been playing Scrabble with Tophatal or what?

** I meant to say “not considered” hookers if you pay them in pastries. Just want to make that clear, at least until the trial is over.

O’donnell vs Hostes, “Twinkies are Gold!”
Wilson vs Phillips, “We used cream horns as money to get that fat bitch out on stage”
Piggy just doesn’t like that year because the fudge Packers beat the Ligers.
That may have been the last time they won a game.

Whilst? I missed that. Once I read the name O’Donnell, I fast-forwarded to the end thinking there was some nasty pic of Rosie posing on the hood of David Coverdale’s Jaguar.

The year, 1984. A young Dan Marino was reaching for the stars, ‘whilst’ keeping his feet on the ground.
He also beat the everloving shit out of the Steelers in the AFC championship game that year. Alas, much like the Chargers a decade later, the Dolphins lost the Super Bowl to the NFC rep.
OK, whos got the 70’s?
