As a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan, I live with plenty of painful gridiron memories, but one stands out: "The Drive," January 11, 1987 — the AFC Championship Game.
The Browns were leading the Denver Broncos when quarterback John Elway took over at his own two-yard line with just over five minutes left in the fourth quarter. What followed was a 98-yard march that tied the game — a masterclass in composure and clock management under pressure.
