14. Saturday December 13th 1997 at New England Patriots 24–21 OT
There was a number of memorable wins in 1997, but this may have been the best, a Saturday afternoon critical game in New England. Down 21-13 late, Drew Bledsoe threw a pick on a screen pass to Kevin Henry, who took it inside the Pats 10. The Steelers got the touchdown, and then Kordell Stewart hit Yancy Thigpen for the two-point conversion to tie it and send the game into OT. A big WR screen to Courtney Hawkins set up a Norm Johnson 31-yard field goal to end the craziest win of the year for the Steelers.

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!
