I remember that this was the postseason in which I started to watch the NFL and only because of the beautiful design of the Broncos uniform I started to follow their games. Who would have thought that the team that I started to follow because of their colors would be the one that won the superbowl that year and that I still follow as a fan of this sport to this day, thanks for the memories.
I think Brady at 45 runs faster than elway did that day only because the visious holding by oline only reason elway & Terrell davis had so much room period!
I remember jumping so high and screaming my heart out. My friends and I drove right to Colfax once the game was over. We partied all night with all of Denver. One of the greatest times of my life. Elway was the only QB I knew until he retired. BRONCO COUNTRY for Life
It really is a shame there can’t be a SB MVP for both the offense and defense…Atwater would’ve won it for this game…I’ve always believed his play gets overlooked in this game. That sack/fumble on Favre was beyond huge.
My high school football team was in Colorado, and they absolutely ripped off these Broncos uniforms. Same stripe, basically same colors. Honestly they looked pretty great for HS football.
@cubuffs2028 people were ignoring the massive red flags the packers had in 1997. For christ sack, the 0-10 colts scored 41 points against them in an Indianapolis win. People simply favored the packers because they were the defending super bowl champions, and in the nfc. Let me be clear, the 96 packers and 97 packers were totally different. The 96 packers dominated most teams, while the 97 packers beat most teams. The 96 packers had a +15 turnover differential. The 97 packers had a turnover differential of zero. The 96 packers had a great qb. The 97 packers had a good qb. The 96 packers had a defense, both against the run and the pass. The 97 packers only had a pass defense, not a run defense
The only reason this game is considered an " upset " is because the NFC as a conference had won 13 STRAIGHT SB's up until that point, on top of the fact that the NFC representative for SB31 was the DEFENDING champion (Packers). The Broncos win, represented the AFC's first SB win in over a decade. It is actually comparable to the Jets upset of the Colts in SB III if you know NFL history 84 - 49ers 85 - Bears 86 - Giants 87 - Redskins 88 - 49ers 89 - 49ers 90 - Giants 91 - Redskins 92 - Cowboys 93 - Cowboys 94 - 49ers 95 - Cowboys 96 - Packers
Wow already been this long, a game I should’ve saw, even though I didn’t I still think gb lost this game more than den won - gb’s front d bigger but underestimated den run game
No. That's Mike Holgrem, Andy Reid is the coach of KC. Andy Reid was coaching, or was hired to coach within a few years of this game, the Philadelphia Eagles.
