Three More Yards

1994 AFC Championship Game

vs. San Diego Chargers

January 15, 1995

 

 

 

The atmosphere was incredible. Before the game, a small crowd had gathered in the parking lot at Three Rivers to douse a Stan Humphries doll with gasoline, and then light it and hang it from the Fort Duquesne Bridge! During the game I sat next to two guys from San Diego. They were nice guys, and I talked to them throughout the contest. When the 4th and 3 failed, they shook my hand, said "good game", and wisely fled the scene without celebrating. The attendance at that game is still the largest ever for Three Rivers, but I swear, you will never hear that stadium be more silent than it was in the seconds following that final play. Everyone was in complete and utter shock. I'll never forget seeing the Chargers run out onto the field stomping on Terrible Towels. That's when it hit me that the Steelers had actually lost the game.
