16. Sunday November 5th 1995 at Chicago Bear 37–34 OT
The 1995 season was one that didn’t get off to a very good start, and with a 3-4 record the Steelers beat the Jaguars at home, then went to Chicago to play a Bears team who was favored. The Steelers and Bears waged a wild shootout, with big plays on each side. The Steelers scored on a 4th down play late when Ernie Mills pulled in a TD, and then in overtime Neil O’Donnell led the team on a drive and Norm Johnson nailed a field goal to get the teams biggest regular season win of the season.

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!
