It wasn’t his fault Earnest Byner fumbled!
He was coach of the Brownies for Elway’s The Drive.
Man I still remember watching that game the stadium was shaking!
A fellow Bronco fan, I see. Yep, if “The Drive” didn’t prove that Schottenheimer and the Browns were living under a curse against the Broncos, that play certainly did. All he had to do was cross the goal line and it was over, but then the curse struck.
I loved it, of course, but even at the time I felt a tiny pang of sympathy for old Marty.
