15 years ago today, this happened -- Chargers upset Steelers in '95 AFC Championship

I was 11. We watched the game at home and screamed so loud the neighbors called the cops on us. Where were you?

I too, was 11-years-old during that game

I remember my mom and I sitting at home watching the game together, and both of us just screaming when they made the stop. I went outside later to celebrate with friends, and even an hour later, you could still hear cars all around honking in celebration and people just shouting as they drove by.

Damn, gets me excited to think about, and can only hope for it again this year. Especially since we’d actually have a chance against the NFC team this year.

It was a morning game

and I remember having a few friends over watching it. I was kneeling on the floor on 4th down praying…
Kev called me right away, and later that night a bunch of us went down to The Murph to welcome the team back. That group included Dex, it was the first time I ever did anything with him. It rained that night, but that couldn’t stop 80,000 strong!

I was in a grocery store

Listening to the game on a Padres giveaway radio in the shape of a baseball. My mom and I yelled in the aisle. I’m also in the Elevensies club.

I'll lay my claim to the twelvers club

But I suspect it will be a lonely club.

I'm the first person to admit that I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I'm going to be the last person to admit I'm wrong about what we're currently talking about.

Got y'all beaten.

I was eleven months old.

Banned from Arrowhead Pride... and Music City Miracles certainly don't like me very much, either.
