7 Jan 1995:
7. Saturday January 7th 1995 AFC Divisional Playoff vs Cleveland Browns 29-9
The third meeting between the Browns and Steelers in 1994 was no contest, as the Steelers crushed Bill Belichick’s Browns by 20 points to advance to the AFC Title Game. At the time it was Bill Cowher’s first playoff win, and the team treated him to a gatorade shower, which turned out to a be a mistake after the Steelers lost the next week. In this game though the Browns highly rated defense couldn’t stop the Steelers ground game, and the Steelers D dominated the Browns early and often, as the Steelers built a 24-3 halftime lead.

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!
