John Elway and the Broncos need to clinch the AFC West and home field throughout the playoffs against a Chargers' team that has outside hopes of landing a Wild Card berth. Can they do it in sub-zero wind chill weather and four inches of fresh snow? Here's a replay of the entire NBC telecast minus commercials and halftime.

Remember the Broncos in their classic orange and blue uniforms at the old Mile High with Charlie Jones at the mic as everyone fought the cold and snow.

Yeah. Motors for the magnetic heads returning to speed after pausing for commercials/delays cause that - a telltale sign of home recording. Annoying, yes, but it's even worse if you stop the VCR and hit "record" as some people did or roll through without pauses and then run out of tape in the fourth quarter. Actually, those old commercials are often amusing now when they were just annoying back then. Particularly fun are commercials for the early personal computers - writing data to a 5.25-in floppy.

I miss old Mile High Stadium and the noisy crowds.
