Steve Largent DESTROYS Mike Harden

[bigglewings]

oh yeah.. largent givin him da bidness.

[MrCooshcoosh]

was payback from either earlier that year or a year before when he knocked out largent

[finndogg]

I still hate the Broncos...

[mrceleb2006]

Gordon McCarter was the referee in that game.

[ukwarrior25]

This was the game in 1988? The one that took the Broncos out of the playoffs.

[MrCooshcoosh]

@ukwarrior25 I think so because the same guy knocked out largent earlier that year he got payback

[vicprobey]

If you gain enough speed do you think you could fly with those shoulder pads on?

[SCE2AUX]

"See how YOU like it!!" Not one of the greatest ever for nothing.

[6400az]

@1:13. There are decleaters and then there are the bowling pins -type of hits. Look how many players fall as a result of Harden sent flying.

[june1683]

wow, the white boy lit his bitch as up

[BLAZINGKNEES]

I wish he had hit him even harder, Harden was a cheap shot artist and had knocked out Largent with a cheap shot. Karma is a bitch Harden

[MattOuellette88]

Ya wanna know the sad thing is... that hit probably would have been flagged today. I mean, it LOOKS legal, but in game time I'm sure some official in today's soft-serve society would have thrown a flag just because it's a hard hit from the blind side. Then the fines would be coming later in the week.

[MLordRichM]

@MattOuellette88 that hit would be illegal actually. it falls under the category now of hitting a defenseless player. (his back was turned, thus not seeing the big hit coming) this counts for defensive players too, not just offense.

[bnegs521]

@MLordRichM Yep. Welcome to the new NFL.

[namttiw11]

@MLordRichM um...no...he is a runner at that point

[Fnoel98356]

I think Mike Harden was lucky Largent nailed him. Curt Warner was bearing down on him. that would have separated Mike Harden's head from his body.

[eggo63]

I wish they would've shown the viscious illegal late cheap shot that Harden laid on Largent 2 plays earlier...that's what made this so sweet!

[DrPepperBoy97]

0:10 Largent to Harden

"FUCK YOU"

[torpeyn]

This would have been a penalty - with today's NFL rules

[Magicrazy1]

Great play but that wasn't even a fumble... unless the rules were different back then.

[itsinthenet]

@Magicrazy1 Rules were the same. He probably would've been ruled down. It was all mute because of the penalty. This was Steve Largent's second to last year in the NFL. I remember there were questions whether he would return for one more year. I remember a newscast of this game where the reporter said after that hit the Steve Largent would be returning the next year as a linebacker.

[raiders75]

@Magicrazy1 You are right in some ways. But since there was a defensive holding on the play before the fumble is technically negated. But the hit...STILL AWESOME! :)

[jackhandy00]

In todays gay ass football this would have been a 15 yard penalty and a 10,000 dollar fine. I miss how football use to be played.

[Hellisan12]

@jackhandy00 It wasn't a helmet to helmet collision or a defenseless player...

[jackhandy00]

@Hellisan12 since when has that stop the refs from throwing a flag and the league dropping a fine in the past 5 or 6 years.

[17aeast17]

my favorite Seahawk play of all time.. I was at this game and freaked out when Steve hit 31.. remember my date thought I was insane....

[mes401166]

Wish we could find another classy guy like Largent or Hassellbeck

[ReklawLah]

Oh and Steve Largent UNLOADED and got the ball!

[rucshboy]

What happened to the NFL? We used to get Steve Largent now we get Criminals galore.

[MrSage360]

mama, there goes that man again....lol

[rwells47]

Largent certainly got payback on Harden!!!

[00Billy]

hehe Steve-O popped him sweet.

[MadThespian]

OUCH!!!
