For a Broncos fan...and such a big play in your history...you would think you would know what actually happened.
You are a Browns fan and you forgot about the Fumble???? How did I get it wrong? It was a fumble at the goalline to go to the Super Bowl, just as I said in my post.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fumble
The Fumble refers to a specific incident in the January 17, 1988 AFC Championship Game between the Cleveland Browns and the Denver Broncos.
During the game, the Broncos jumped to a 21-3 halftime lead, but Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar led them back with 4 second-half touchdowns. By the middle of the fourth quarter, the game was tied 31-31. The Broncos then took the lead on a long drive that ended with a 20-yard touchdown pass from quarterback John Elway to running back Sammy Winder, making the score 38-31 with 5 minutes left in the game.
Cleveland responded by advancing the ball down to Denver's 2-yard line 1:12 left, setting the stage for the play that would make this game one of the most famous games in NFL Lore.
Browns running back Earnest Byner took a handoff and
appeared to be on his way to score the game-tying touchdown. But he was stripped of the ball by Broncos defensive back Jeremiah Castille, and fumbled at the 3-yard line. The Broncos recovered the ball, gave the Browns an intentional safety, and went on to win 38-33. While Byner took a lot of heat from Browns fans and the media for his fumble, what is often overlooked is that he was one of the main reasons Cleveland came so close to winning the game. He had a superb performance with 67 rushing yards, 7 receptions for 120 yards, and 2 touchdowns.
