1994 Steelers 14 vs Eagles 3
An absolutely SUPERB defensive performance by the Steelers as they fight for homefield advantage while snowflakes fly. A long return by Herschel Walker on the opening kickoff sets up an Eagle FG, but the 90's Edition Steel Curtain gives Philly NOTHING, playing perhaps their most dominating game of '94 (which is saying a lot).
While the Steeler offense flounders for 3-1/2 quarters, plagued by off-target passes and an uncharacteristic case of drop-itis by Yancey Thigpen, the Blitzburgh defense allows only 105 total yards and absolutely crucifies Randall Cunningham, who finishes a pathetic 9 of 27 for 59 yds with 3 sacks and a back-breaking 4th quarter INT by Darren Perry. When Bam Morris goes down (subbing for the injured Barry Foster), John L. Williams steps in and plays admirably, griding out 94 yds on 20 carries and icing the gam with a 4th quarter TD run. I love defensive slugfests, so this is among my favorite 90's-era games.
