Marino vs. Elway Legend Duel! (Dolphins vs. Broncos 1985, Week 4) 

Amazing to think they didn’t face each other again for 13 years

Dan Marino reminds me of the Muhammad Ali clip where the GOAT tells a reporter to hold up their hand and he'll hit is six times before they count one-two. Marino flinches his arm and the ball is already forty yards downfield. Best QB in history. No rings, sure. But also no refball in his favor. No rule changes to suit him. Just twenty years ahead of anybody else.

All-time great uniform matchup

Dick Enberg was one of the many voices of my youth. The weather is perfect. God this was football. I know I'm being nostalgic but man such happy memories.

This was a great selection. Thanks for posting. Just a shame that with the funky scheduling back then the Broncos, and Dolphins didn't square off more. As spoiled as I was with Montana, and then Young, I always marveled at Elway and Marino's genetic talent at the position. Simply amazing.

Just to let you know this is the same year the Dolphins are the first team to beat the 85’ Bears and their defense 38-24.

Marino could make every throw in his sleep 🔥🔥🔥

My God, I forgot just how legendary John Elway's arm strength was in his younger days. An arm touched by God called by Dick Enberg, a voice touched by God. The first pass he throws here is a lobbed touch pass...57 yards downfield. And shoutout to Dan Marino. My God, he sees a receiver and that throw is in the air so fast. Two fantastic superstars going at it when I was a four year old Bronco fan. Where I am from in Colorado, you had no choice. And you could rob four banks at 2 p.m. on a Sunday, no problem. The whole town was just not worried about anything else. I quit watching the NFL in 2015 when it made some very bad decisions, but I did not miss a game for 34 years. Not bad. We Bronco fans used to be so jealous of Dan Marino until about 1995 and Mike Shanahan's tenure. We kept screaming, "Why can't they build a team around Elway the way they do with Marino down in Miami?!?! We have John Elway....against 11 players." I have a cousin who, ahem...dated isn't probably the right word, let's say, had a congress with Broncos Tight End Clarence Kay. Funny to see him shaking his hips (probably like he did with her). She was like a rock star at a family party because she'd hooked up with a Bronco. That was how rabid my neighborhood fandom was.

Let's Go Dolphins 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬

For those that do not know Mario & Elway only met twice in their careers. They wouldn't meet again until 1998. Amazing

Crazy how the very next day after this was posted the dolphins crushed the broncos 70-20 😂

Imagine these two in todays offenses 🤯😱

These 2 and Montana were such a goated trio. What a time for football.

Damn.... this brings back childhood memories!! 2 legends, "throwback" uniforms, nearly a foot of snow in Denver. Would love to see a hi def full version of this game!!

Huge snow piles on the sidelines in September. Never change, Denver!

People remember the 2008 patriots missing the playoffs at 11-5, but before them? The 85 Broncos had the same record, and missed the postseason

Marino 4 Life 💪😎

Two of the strongest arms of all time.

Two Legends 👍

The two best passers in NFL history - these QBs today don't come close to throwing the ball like these two did.

How about all that snow in Denver in late Sept early October?

12:18 Elway escaping a near sack then launches a 40 yard rope.

I attended this game at Mile Hign, Marino was already stablished as a bonafied star QB and Elways was still trying to find his footing. The rest is history.

Let's go Miami, get to 3-0! - Steelers fan.

lol where did nfl throwback get this game? This looks like it was rip off of another floating around on youtube. Give us a proper HD version, these two legends deserve better quality.

You all can't enhance the quality before uploading these?

69 yards. NICE

Im just lucky to have seen his whole career. Still the GOAT imho

The year the 11-5 Broncos didn't make the playoffs

I was at that game. Almost 40 years ago....but they looked like today's offenses.

THIS WAS COOL.............

Elway had a rocket for an arm.

ridiculous that these 2 only played against each other twice!

One of two regular season games between Marino & Elway The schedule formula was way different than it is now

Miami Dolphins Against Denver Broncos From 1985 Thanks For Uploading

This would be the last game between these two teams for the next 13 years

can yall post the full super bowl of the raiders vs eagles?? cant find it anywhere on youtube.

I remember watching this game live.....Marino the best pure passer ever imo....boy do I miss real football today's version is pathetic soft & unwatchable that's why I don't watch it

I only saw the 2nd regular season matchup between these two (I think there's a playoff game in there as well?) It's just INSANE how two of the greatest QBs around only faced each other twice in the regular season in their careers. If they played in this era of the NFL they'd have played way more than that.

wow the potatoes back in the day had tremendous HD picture

Imagine if Elway had a decent coach and talent around him for more than just last 3 years of his career

Marino was a big dude

Denver ended up missing the playoffs in 1985 despite an 11-5 record

Friendly reminder Dan Reeves is the only coach to go to four Super Bowls who is not in the Hall of Fame (as is always the case with the Broncos; see examples Gradishar, Randy; Shanahan, Mike; Smith, Dennis; Mecklenberg, Karl) Shoutout to Tight End, Clarence Kay! Clarence, if you are reading this, a cousin of mine told everyone at a family party that you took her virginity. I learned the word virginity from you, my man!

I know it's a mile high, but how was the weather snowy and below freezing temperatures IN SEPTEMBER of 1985??

Wow, just wow

Wow extremely cold for week 4. That's Denver I guess :)

1985 Dan Marino sat out beginning of season for more money to get a better contract and finished season 30 td passes with over 4000 yards passing and playoff appearance beat Cleveland Browns.

This was a good 😌 game nfl throw back you have good 👍 videos good 👍 time length keep up ⬆️ the good 😌 work

6:27 look at that throw to Joe Rose. Perfection.

Elway had more natural talent then any qb, but I disagree with you Dan Reeves was a good coach

Combine those yards and add 120 more lol

Why such the Bad Quality? I’ve seen games in the 70s that looked Better

Awesome video

I’ll bet you that Elway would’ve beat the Jets if he was with the Colts

Fridget temperatures in only Week 4???

I really believe that if John Elway would’ve had a more pass friendly offense, he could’ve put up the same numbers as Dan Marino, Warren Moon, Jim Kelly, etc.

Is this snow in September?

Love this!!!!👍👍

“Broncos country let’s die”😂🤣

My family are die hard Dolphin fans. But you have to think, Miami really failed to get Marino anything better than a mid OL, and a average defense. If he was drafted by the Steelers, he wins at least 3 rings, possibly 4.

Just superhuman throws all game.

It very rare that it snowed in Denver on September 1985

Damn that place was loud!

Too bad Marino never got a ring...

70-20 lol they tried to hype us up

😂😂😂Barefoot Kicker???

70-20

What a game!

That was the issue back then the NFL didn't put these games together all the time. It would of been nice to see elway vs marino like Peyton vs Brady.

Elway to Marino

I Love You NFL Throwback And Keep Up The Good Work

I wonder how long that sell out streak lasted. Colorado Avalanche fans had a very long sell out streak as well.

Two Legendary Quarterbacks

Marino will always have Yeah But attached to his career!!

Everyone looks like they are running in sand

I like the 98 playoff match up better 🤣🤣 GO BRONCOS!!!

I never liked John elway
