Were any of you at the 2002 AFC Wild Card game when the Steelers beat the Browns 36-33 in the final minutes? I was. It was fricking cooled! Here's a video of when they got 36 points and won the game.

That was an awesome game! I remember thinking it was over for the Steelers so I went and took a shower and when I got out the Steelers had just taken the lead. So now anytime it's the playoffs and the Steelers are losing in a close game, I take a shower... it's worked two or three times already! I didn't bother to test it for the NE game in 04 that would have been hopeless

Yeah I was at that game and i swear it was the best Steeler game I have seen..........well until I saw the Pats/Steelers halloween game, Everyone in our section was singing Who's Your Daddy?

But that wildcard playoff game was the best! Then the following week in TN Tommy got hurt and was never the same.

I'm more shocked to find out that the browns actually made it to a game that could partially be considered somewhat of a playoff game.

Seein that game only makes me want to go to a game at Heinz Field even more.

I loved that, because that was the year we got to beat the Brownies THREE times instead of the usual 2.

That's what is neat about that game, THE BROWNS WERE IN A PLAYOFF GAME! I still have the tickets too (collecters items since it's very rare you will see the Browns in a playoff game!)

I think I remember the whole game very clearly! It was something, the Brownies lead all the way to the 4th quarter. Steeler "fans" were clearing out of Heinz field by the hundreds. After the game, I can remember thinking to myself, those losers got into their cars, turned on the radio and listened to the most exciting game in recent history, I bet they kicked themselves for leaving, It ain't over til it's over!

I cannot even imagine leaving a game before it is over............look at the Immaculate Reception game same thing.......people left even Art SR never saw the end of that game cause he was headed to the locker room to be with the guys!

What we pay for tickets, I know I am not leaving. I have sat in -degree weather, too hot weather you name it, but I am staying til it is over.
In fact I enjoy sitting in the stands AFTER the game watching the groundscrew and the fans! Many sit there for awhile. It is like a year between games so soak it all in....reality hits in a short time!~
