Grade:  Very Good.  Slightly jumpy video.

 

Notes:  Even though he wasn’t “The Bus” yet, Jerome Bettis drives straight at the Kansas City defense and gradually wears them down.  The Chiefs keep the Steelers in check for half the game, but Pittsburgh’s defense makes sure the Chiefs cannot score more than once.  Penalties take a toll on the Chiefs as well – 8 for 45 yards.  Marcus Allen moves into second place for all-time yards from scrimmage, and trails only Mosi Tatupu in total number of games played by a running back.

Thanks Robert!
