10. Sunday November 1st 1992 vs Houston Oilers 21-20
The rebirth of the wild fan base in Pittsburgh, these two 5-2 teams went at it, and for a long time it looked like the Oilers were going to get their revenge. Up 20-7 in the fourth quarter, the Steelers got some huge plays from Neil O’Donnell, and they also got a big hit from Rod Woodson to knock Warren Moon out of the game. The Steelers rallied to take a 21-20 lead, but Cody Carlson led Houston into field goal range in the final seconds. Al Del Greco pushed a 39-yard attempt wide, and the loudest crowd in Three Rivers in years went home happy.

Matt, I seriously think you’ve overlooked the 1993 MNF game vs the AFC back to back defending Conference Champs, Buffalo Bills. It was a statement game for Bill Cowher’s Steelers who were eliminated in the play-offs by the Bills @ Three Rivers. Final score : 24-0.

Hi Anthony,
Thanks for the comment – the 93 Bills game was on the long original list for sure and was one of the last ones to get taken off to get the list to 20 games. I think the reason I stayed away from it was due to the aftermath of that game. The following week they were beat up bad by the Broncos, and then lost the next Sunday night to the Oilers. Overall after beating the Bills the team went 3-4 and had to claw their way into the playoffs. Just seemed like the team was never the same after that win, which again is kind of why I kept it off the list. Thank you again for the comment!
