In 1993, there were high hopes for the Kansas City Chiefs heading into the playoffs. This was the first season of Joe Montana in Kansas City, along with finally winning an AFC West for the first time since 1971. The Chiefs were 11-5 and the third seed, but drew a tough team in the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The game started out with Pittsburgh jumping out to a quick 10-0 lead while Montana struggled. However, the Chiefs closed to 24-17 in the final two minutes, when Keith Cash blocked a Mark Royals punt. On the ensuing drive, Montana faced a fourth and goal, where he hit Tim Barnett in the back of the end zone.

With the game tied and in overtime, Kansas City forced the Steelers to punt before Nick Lowery hit the game-winning field goal. The Chiefs won only their second playoff game since winning the Super Bowl in 1969.
