The Fumble: A Fail Horn Moment

This is a clip of the 1987 AFC Championship Game when the Cleveland Browns played the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium. Earnest Byner ends up fumbling the ball at the 3-yard line with 1:12 left in the 4th quarter and the Broncos are leading 38-31.

This play should really be known as "the strip" rather than "the fumble"

I live with this bullshit every day of my life

And to make matters even WORSE for the Browns, Byner went on to win a ring with the 'Skins in 1991 LMFAO!

You go by the NFL YEAR, not calendar year, dumbshits. This IS in fact the 1987 AFC Championship Game. Anyways, yes..just another horrid miscue from a major professional sports franchise from Cleveland..the Cavaliers would be sunk two years later by MJ in that infamous Game 5 at the old Richfield Coliseum.

It's called 'exaggerating' in order to make a point that the Broncos got creamed everytime they beat the Browns and went on to lose in the Super Bowl. You are a dense one my son.

[hadmiar8]

then why did you say 62-3.

[Sherpaful]

sigh, wrong. The Giants played the Broncos in the Super Bowl the previous year (1986-87). That was the year Elway beat the Browns with "The Drive" in the AFC Championship game. The game you're watching here is the next year (1987-88) and is known as "The Fumble". The Broncos would go on to play the Redskins, and lose 42-10. Duh!

[hadmiar8]

no, ever heard of the 1987 super bowl? I happen to know NYG won over DEN 39-20.

[Sherpaful]

Number one, I was being facetious. Number two, they lost to the Washington Redskins 42-10 in the Super Bowl that year. Shows what you know.

[hadmiar8]

they lost 39-20 to the giants, not 62-3.
