1995 Steelers 31 vs Chargers 16
Revenge!!! Well, sort-of. Pittsburgh simply takes it to the Bolts in a rematch of the '94 AFC Championship game. The Steelers are clearly on a mission in this game, which I was fortunate enough to attend, marching 75 yards in 11 plays on their opening drive, capped by a 1-yard scoring run by Bam Morris. Pittsburgh's defense then steps up with two interceptions for TDs and the rout is on.
Willie Williams picks off a Humphries pass and returns it 63 yards for a touchdown with 6:10 left in the 1st quarter. Alvoid Mays then returns an INT 32 yards for another score with 1:33 left in the quarter to increase Pittsburgh's lead to 21-0. Williams and Mays finish with two interceptions EACH for the Steelers, who pick off Humphries a total of four times.
Bam Morris adds a second rushing TD before the half Pittsburgh builds a 31-6 halftime lead. It's hard not to look at this game, think of the '94 AFCC and say, "What if?"
