As a huge Bronco fan. This superbowl and its result is one of the best days of my life. Not only because the Broncos won, because I was able to watch it with my entire family. I sure miss watching football with those family members who are no longer here.
I still cry watching this game! Best memories with my mom ever! I was a kid, but she took me outta school (for both wins) to go to the parades lol she was the best! Rest in Peace momma & dad!
I remember shedding TEARS of joy for Elway when he DIVED for the first down,SENSING that this was HIS hour!! And he would NOT walk off of the field again,withOUT a Superbowl ring!! As an INSANE Chargers fan(ever since 1979 when I watched Dan Fouts SHRED the"Steel Curtain" at Jack Murphy Stadium en-route to a 35-7 DRUBBING of the defending champion Steelers)I'd followed Elways progress since 1980,and felt he DESERVED a ring,and was ESTATIC when he finally got it!! I'm getting"misty eyed"just watching this!!
The first time I ever saw my Dad cry. I was 7 years old and the excitement from my dad and the whole family was palpable. We went out and honked the cars horn and heard everyone else in the city doing the same thing. Magical
I don’t care what anyone says. But you gotta respect John Elway. He lost 3 Super Bowls and he didn’t win his two rings until his last two years of his career. That man had heart and he never gave up
@@hectorlopez1069He was the better quarterback in two of those three Super Bowl losses. He wasn’t better than Montana. In 1986, the Giants defense was too good and in 1987, the Broncos defense couldn’t stop anything that Washington did
The Minister of Defence, what a legend, never forgotten. I get goose bumps seeing all these legends on the field after 23 years. These is the kind of stuff I love youtube for
At the time this was one of the most hyped Superbowls ever and one of the best. Since we’ve had so many great ones since, I feel SB 32 gets forgotten at times
I remember the hype was Favre and Packers were going to extend the streak and so but no one told the Broncos. I live in San Diego and the night before the Bronco fans were out in full force and it felt like there was no way Denver could lose. And yes this game is forgotten and it is a shame because it was back in forth all game long.
Packers were on fire and dominant all season and looked to be able to go back-to-back. Broncos weren't bad either, but Elway's history of losing Super bowls and coming in as a wild-card, I predicted the Packers would win. And 13 NFC victories. Even though I was rooting for Elway.
1 I was raised in Denver, Im a life long denver fan. 2 I live through the previous 3 humiliating SBs 3 This was on my 28th birthday. Best birthday present Ive ever gotten.
Interesting, it wasn't my birthday, but I was also 28 when Denver finally won the Super Bowl and the memory of those 3 losses was temporarily washed away. Cheers!
I bet Fangio is wishing he read these TH-cam comments lol. I've always respected Kubiak. Watch the Denver/NYG SB game, Kubs was the backup and was calling plays. Obviously it didn't work out that year but you could tell he was destined for a long coaching career.
@@poisonlady1965 packers still played well on defense with only 4 dressed lineman but gilbert brown was gassed and reggie and that killed our run d yet almost won
People have forgotten how huge this was. Before the game the Broncos had lost 4 Super Bowls, John Elway was considered the best QB to have never won the SB, and the AFC had lost 13 straight SB's.
Yep, it was also the most competitive, most exciting Super Bowl in 7 years. Not only that but Elway was on his last legs (but still very effective. Terrel Davis may have gotten the MVP but I don't think it would be necessarily accurate to say their running game or defense carried the team). Also the Packers were heavily favored and were the defending Super Bowl Champions. It also limited Brett Favre's Super Bowl wins to just one, and I think a lot of people assumed he would finish his career with a lot more than that.
Surprised after winning the following year, that Elway didn't try to win 3 straight and decides to retire, can't say I'd blame him, why not go out on top.
@t- milt it would have been nice if Elway passed for 379 yards if Barry Sanders and Jerry Rice were in the Broncos and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could have been the opponents
13:09 as a Redskins fan. Nothing but pride gets brought up. Doug Williams, who beat Elway in the same stadium in '88 shakes hands with no one else on the field, except for Elway, and even Elway took and extra second with Williams there. There's an understanding we could never grasp and won't ever get told.. Great moment...Nothing but respect and I felt he was probably rooting for him that day..
Huge Broncos fan, and I will always remember exactly where I was when I watched this game in my parents' living room. I still have this game on VHS (worn out!) and my local sports page from the next morning, with Elway nearly in tears as he holds up the Lombardi Trophy, a scene I NEVER thought I would see. Love during the Broncos introductions that the Blue Angels mistimed their flyover and flew over the stadium precisely when John Elway got introduced. THAT was bad-ass!!
@@jeremyn2626I was about to say the same thing. I’m bitter about this game to this day for that reason and don’t feel happy for Elway to win his first ring.
@@ericpackers1700 LMAO, Green Bay could have gone Back-to-Back if they would have won, Denver in my mind was the best team in the 90's. Heck, I would take them against any team from any era!
This game was so awesome and my Broncos finally broke the ice and came out on top of the world! This Super Bowl win is redemption from the previous 37 seasons of failures that included 4 Super Bowl losses!!! I thank God for seeing my favorite and hometown team finally win a world championship. And they done it 3 times ...SB 32, SB 33 and SB 50 the Broncos won those Super Bowls which is way more than I hoped for!!! So thank you Mr. Pat Bowlen for 35 years of your ownership of the Broncos!! RIP Mr. B. GO BRONCOS!!!!
Jamal Reed the Patriots have lost Super Bowls in the past their Dynasty is not over until Brady and Belichick is gone and until the rest of the AFC actually grows some stones and build teams that can beat the Patriots. The Patriots will be in the Super Bowl next year again unfortunately.
This was on my 29th birthday. After the losses to Dallas, Giants, SF and the Redskins...... this was the best birthday gift Ive ever gotten. This made those 4 debacles, all those years ago, not so tragically painful to remember. PS: ol #27 is my man! Hardest hitting man in show business. Why in Gods name is he not in the HOF?!?!
2:30:32. With the legendary career Greg Gumbel had in sports casting, this trophy presentation was one of his best moments. Rest in peace, Greg. We will miss you.
This game popped up randomly in my feed, brings back a lot of memories. I sure do miss the 90s. Amazing to relive this game watching Brett Favre, John Elway, Terrell Davis, Shannon Sharp and the late but great Reggie White. RIP. Crazy how much the game has changed since then.
For real I watch all the old games from the 90s on TH-cam and as Packers fan the nostalgia is still there even though they lost cause the 96 team was a lot better but this Packers team didn't have the same reciever talent and shane Packers could only dress 4 lineman
@Samuel Wells look up DodgerFan1988’s comment below. This was a huge moment for the league historically and it broke an absurd streak of dominance by the NFC in Super Bowls. It was the first real competitive SB in the modern offensive era (you could add Bills Giants to that list, another fantastic game, but you could already see the modern offensive game emerging by the mid 90s).
Dan Marino was better and he is older and played in the same era. Yet both has around the same interceptions in 225+ each but one has nearly 500 pass tds that’s Dan Marino
Greatest SB ever. I love the Broncos for life, no other team in any other sport for me, but man, i really love Brett Favre as a player. Mad respect fot the 4.
Here is a case as to why Super Bowl 32 is the absolute best Super Bowl game of all time: 1. John Elway finally wins the Super Bowl after three losses in Super Bowls 21, 22, and 24. 2. John Elway VS. Brett Favre, with the Packers being 14+ point favorites to go back-to-back. 3. The NFC's Super Bowl winning streak finally gets snapped at thirteen. 4. Both teams scored a touchdown on their opening possession. 5. The game stayed close throughout, where at one point, there were three ties. 6. John Elway's 3rd down helicopter dive in the 3rd quarter. 7. Terrell Davis battling through migraine headaches to score 3 touchdowns and win Super Bowl MVP honors.
One of the most gratifying wins in Super Bowl history!! I remember pulling so hard for Elway to win this game and he finally did!! During the coin toss you could tell that Doug Williams was really pulling for Elway. How could you not!! That was a Great night for him and the NFL. I'll never forget it!!
The day the NFC's aura of invincibility was shattered. Younger people forget how one-sided these SB's were. The AFC not only lost, but routinely lost big. Year after year. Until this.
End of an era in many ways. Last game with the NFL on NBC as the AFC channel. The NFC's dominance as the best conference ended on this day. The modern NFL really started with this game.
@@ericpackers1700 , I remember when Marty was coaching the Chiefs and the Broncos were playing at Arrowhead. Marty benches a red hot Gannon, and replaces him with Elvis G. I remember we all erupted in joy because we felt no way the Broncos were going to win if Gannon was starting. This SB was sort of a whoever had the ball last situation, when Denver the next year was playing the Falcons I knew we were going to win that one. Honestly, I was a Broncos fan way back when Morton and Moses were the M&M connection, and lost to the Cowboys. I never really thought I would live long enough to see Denver win even one SB, let alone 3. The Orange Crush years were a very special time to be in Denver, now it's a dumpster fire thanks to all the sanctuary city wokies. There was a bar on 93 outside Rocky Flats super fund site that we used to stop at for fish and chips on the way back from Boulder that was a total Packers bar. I actually like Green Bay, the teams we dislike are the dirty birds(Ravens), the Chiefs naturally, and of course the Raiders, who will always be the Oakland Raiders to me. Good times, I remember SB 10 where it was the Cowboys and Steelers and during the game one of the Cowboys players was hurt, and 4 Cowboys players 2 on each leg, grab the guy and drag him off the field so the game could continue. The game was a lot more brutal back then, no pink ribbons, kneeling, or moments of silence for everything under the sun. Glad I got to see football when it was in it's prime, good times for sure.
I just love focusing on Atwater in this superbowl. He just pastes everyone he comes into contact with including himself! PUT THIS MAN IN THE HOF ALREADY!
Nah...they didn't lose. They imploded. There's a difference, they spectacularly imploded on the biggest stage in pro football really. Name another SB with such a great team destroying their chances from the very outset. Seattle were the better team, but the Broncos gave away the first points on the first play. That was the tone of the whole game really. Whereas the 2015 SB with the Panthers, I can't say for sure the Broncos or the Panthers were objectively the better team honestly, but that SB was a snore fest really, it felt to me like a regular season defensive shootout just happening to be in the biggest stage in pro gridiron.
DieKolkrabe To be honest, if I weren't a huge Broncos fan, there's no way I could watch that game again. When my team has only one sustained drive and really didn't produce an offensive touchdown, it ain't good.
I tailgated this Game because I couldn't afford a Ticket. Stayed with a Navy friend, coming down from Park City, Utah to see Superbowl 32( Forever A Denver Broncos and ELWAY FAN Growing up in Weatherford/ Lake Granbury, Tx). When ELWAY did the Helicopter Dive on 3rd and 6 for 8 Yards and a 1st Down at the GB 4, then went up 24- 17, Eventually WINNING 31-24, .......................I'm still Eternally HAPPY and Thankful for that.
I’m only 12 minutes and 34 seconds into this video and I just gotta stop and say that I love and appreciate the respect that was had before the coin toss when all the players shake hands, you could genuinely see a level of respect PRE-GAME that the players had for each other. I love that. If there’s one thing that football has taught me it is, whether you’re the big guy or the scrappy little dude it’s greatness that brings the best out of all of us. To clarify GREATNESS being the pinnacle of respect, love and achievement.
Been following football since the early 1980s - and from start to finish this is still the finest NFL game I have ever seen. Very few mistakes made, well-officiated, no unnecessary delays in play, just two great teams slugging it out. 2:26:04 - the iconic shot of Elway being carried off that you still see to this day.
This one of my favorite SB games, the QBs involved and the overall makeup of both teams, with great drives and dramatic moments, just a great great game
As a lifelong packer fan its soul crushing that we've had 30 years plus of hall of fame qb play and only 2 Superbowls to show for it. Besides that its just been heartbreak after heart break
Been a Broncos fan since 1983 and i swear i NEVER seen the Broncos played this way. We always olay good inthe first half and choke in the second half playing conservative. This night was a very special for me after suffering our past humiliation of from the likes of NYG, WAS, and SFO. Thank you for the memories.
23 years ago. I was 32 then living in Austin. Rooting for the Pack as I was enjoying the wonderful chemistry between my favorite receiver duo of Robert Brooks and Antonio Freeman. Then Dorsey Levens makes the Pro Bowl and Brett gets his 3rd MVP. While watching this game, I was happy to see at least before halftime that Mark Chmura got into the act. Chmura caught that beautiful 23 yarder, and then scores the TD with 4 catches for 43 yards. Very respectable for a pro bowl TE.
Ya played our worst offensive game and still should of won if not for 4 healthy defensive lineman and couldn't pick up blitz and recievers couldn't separate besides Freeman
I WILL NEVER, EVER, FORGET THIS GAME --------THIS MOMENT ! --------# 7's moment of vindication. Broncos were total underdogs--------smaller, lighter, & with 4 SB losses prior. What a moment !!----I'm a Broncos Fan from the very start, & this moment was sooooo sweet ! ---------WolfSky9, 75 y/o
It’s pretty crazy Elway came into this game 0-3 in the Super Bowl somehow but outside of Tom Brady, Elway may be my second favorite QB of all time it’s between him Montana and Peyton Manning
ickeausberlin36 lol dude I heard that to 😂 I only started watching football in 2011 and when he said “Terrell has a concussion but will return” my jaw hit the floor lok
I watched John Elway when played college at Stanford and his entire career in Denver winning back to back super bowls at the end of his career and then as an executive with Denver bringing in Peyton Manning and winning a third is phenomenal.
Thank you for uploading this! This is the first super bowl I ever watched as a kid at my first ever super bowl party and it made me a Denver Broncos fan for life : )
beerwine69 I think it’s just NBC. They just do a better job at sports in gen than any of the major networks. Their sound quality/music/player bios were always better IMO

What a great game! The family and I were in remote New Zealand when this Super Bowl was played in San Diego. We had no access to a television, so we listened to the game on the radio like in olden times. Incredible memory .....
The Denver Broncos won SB32 because they deserved to win it. The Green Bay Packers were a strong star studded team coming into this game as defending SB champions from the previous year. Brett Favre had just won his third consecutive MVP award and was in the middle of his prime. The Denver Broncos and John Elway were better than a lot of people gave them credit for in this game.
1998 The year and season produced a powerhouse teams that won a championship! The Broncos won the Super Bowl 32 in 1998 The Red Wings won the Stanley Cup Finals Real Madrid won the UEFA Champion League The Bulls won the NBA Finals France won the World Cup The Yankees won the World Series The 1998 season Broncos won back to back Super Bowls Truly the 1998 was a powerhouse teams to remember!
My grandma was the biggest broncos and elway fan she worked at the stadium when he just started playing for them and carried it on her whole life till 2015 when she passed away and the broncos made it to the superbowl and won it for her that year. I’m carrying on her biggest broncos fan legacy
Man, I wish we had TD today with Kubiak as head coach. His vision was just insane, literally *made* for the one move and go scheme. Also wouldn't mind having John Mobley's crazy speed. Can you imagine Ware, Miller, Mobley?
GrassValleyGreg Terrell Davis is easily one of the most underrated players in NFL history. I personally believe that he is one of the greatest running backs of all time. Easily the best running back in Broncos history. Super Bowl MVP, NFL MVP, had 2,476 yards in the entire 1998 season (regular and playoffs) and was a flat-out BEAST.
crazy that Phil simms (86 giants) was a commentator, joe gibbs and doug williams(87 skins) did the coin toss and mike holmgren (89 49ers) was the opposing HC. its like the ghosts of super bowl pasts came to see elway win his 1st one
I was so proud of those Broncos, I not only sat through the Broncos losses in SB's but the other AFC teams too. The 13 SB losses in a row were from the teams below. Bills-4 Broncos-3 Patriots-2 Steelers Dolphins Bengals Chargers So proud to see the Broncos be the AFC team to stop the run and punch the NFC in the mouth. If Terrell Davis does not go out the entire second quarter, this would have been a blowout. Only the Bengals and the Bills in one of their SB's played a competitive SB during the run. The Broncos blocked not only as an O line but receivers and TE's too. Loved this team.
“This one’s for John” It always gives me a feeling. Too bad that Mr. B won’t be here anymore...it is still disgrace that it took too long to elect him to be a hall of famer before he passed away...
Before Ovechkin finally winning the Cup, before the Cubs finally winning the World Series, before the Cavaliers finally winning the Finals, before the Red Sox breaking their curse, before Ray Bourque finally winning the Cup, there was John Elway and the Broncos finally winning the Super Bowl.
There were a few of those moments in 1998. Dale Earnhardt finally won the Daytona 500, Jana Novatna finally won Wimbledon, and I am sure I am missing one or two others.
@@Aguanga_cowboy007 right when you think of the best de's ever I think white and smith. I have to say smith in convos as a bills fan but he really was special. When someone asks me I say white and smith
I remember once I saw the Elway run in the 3rd, I knew we were going to win. I friend of mine who I saw his 49er's win 55 - 10 was so happy to see this.
one of my fondest childhood memories was watching this game. i had my n64 running ocarina of time on channel 3 so i could play during commercial breaks then switch back to watching terrell davis run all over green bay.
Same here even as a Packers fan I watch this all the time because this was the glory days of my youth and family life and I wish these days would comeback while having a girlfriend who isn't looking at shallow things
28:01 Elway's first scramble, he WAS a great scrambler in the 80's, the fastest QB besides Randall Cunningham. It made Broncos fun to play in video games. If he still had legs in 97 to bootleg out of Shanahan outside zone play action they'd have been 15-1 favorites.
29:23 OMG they put 340lb NT Gilbert Brown #93 'Grave Digger' on skates. As a packer fan watching all the runs this drive Id be upset. Its In the first possession, so this aint exhaustion we always see in 4th quarter run blocking effectiveness.
Another noticeable change is how huge the linebackers were back then compared to now. Back then they had to be big to hold up in the run game while now they have to be fast enough to play in the nickel.
I don't believe Elway is the G.O.A.T. but I do think his passing style is perfect. He had a rocket arm and was pretty damn accurate, and when he planted that foot good things happened for Denver.
John for me being a lifelong broncos fan will always be the goat he fought through some of the worst coaches and front office the tommy maddox debacle i could go on forever it was the greatest night for a bronco fan .
@@michaeljones-um8sn elway was inaccurate even compared to his contemporaries. Marino threw 40+TD twice,63% completion. Joe avg 63% his whole career. Favre/Young was more accurate too. All had better TD:INT ratio
John Elway was my favorite qb as a kid. I was 7 during this game, the 3rd superbowl I remember watching. To me, nothing compares to this game. This game cemented my interest in football, it's what made me want to play in little league.
It was great seeing Elway finally win a Superbowl. The Broncos were 0-4 in super bowls before This game and Elway was 0-3 with some historic blowout losses. Terrell Davis was the heart of that offense though and was the best rb in the league for a few seasons. Broncos would repeat and cement Elways and Terrell's legacy as all-time greats.
I grew up as a Raider fan, hating John Elway, and this was one of my favorite SBs. Elway deserved one, and the AFC hadn't won since the 83-84 Raiders. Davis was amazing and it was competitive all the way through. This SB is one of the more important ones in the history of the NFL.
As Packers fan this team was back to back caliber played their worst game of year and almost won still with cte now Davis would of been pulled from game smh lol
@@shannonadkinsmusic5767 nowadays with Davis he would of not been aloud back in smashmouth era when nobody ever threw for 4000 yards now it's unheard of for good QBs to not do that
@@shannonadkinsmusic5767 and big ole Gilbert brown and then we're gassed and only could dress 4 healthy lineman which is why Seth Joyner was pass rushing so much to preserve poor guys with McKenzie
As a huge Bronco fan. This superbowl and its result is one of the best days of my life. Not only because the Broncos won, because I was able to watch it with my entire family. I sure miss watching football with those family members who are no longer here.

This was also on my b'day I agree with you Mike this was the best b'day present anyone could ask for
Gary Kubiak is so underrated. We Denver fans don’t have our three championships without Coach Kubs.

Funny seeing young Kyle shanahan next to his dad the whole game lol
Huge Broncos fan, and I will always remember exactly where I was when I watched this game in my parents' living room. I still have this game on VHS (worn out!) and my local sports page from the next morning, with Elway nearly in tears as he holds up the Lombardi Trophy, a scene I NEVER thought I would see.
Love during the Broncos introductions that the Blue Angels mistimed their flyover and flew over the stadium precisely when John Elway got introduced. THAT was bad-ass!!

it will be fun again once the Patriots' dynasty ends.

This game popped up randomly in my feed, brings back a lot of memories. I sure do miss the 90s. Amazing to relive this game watching Brett Favre, John Elway, Terrell Davis, Shannon Sharp and the late but great Reggie White. RIP. Crazy how much the game has changed since then.
For real I watch all the old games from the 90s on TH-cam and as Packers fan the nostalgia is still there even though they lost cause the 96 team was a lot better but this Packers team didn't have the same reciever talent and shane Packers could only dress 4 lineman
The more I think of it, the more I’ve decided this is actually the GOAT SB. This made the modern NFL.
@Samuel Wells look up DodgerFan1988’s comment below. This was a huge moment for the league historically and it broke an absurd streak of dominance by the NFC in Super Bowls. It was the first real competitive SB in the modern offensive era (you could add Bills Giants to that list, another fantastic game, but you could already see the modern offensive game emerging by the mid 90s).
Super bowl 25 was the best ever
@@AllenRod-o1pso historic and nostalgic but so painful at same time broncos channel has great documentary on this game and season
John Elway is the greatest quarterback I have ever watched I am 70 years old and I still feel that way
Dan Marino was better and he is older and played in the same era. Yet both has around the same interceptions in 225+ each but one has nearly 500 pass tds that’s Dan Marino
lol no SB’s 😂
I totally agree with you! We will never see a bullet pass like his ever again!
@@ArgentineFootballfan1978that’s his opinion blud
How have you never heard of Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes????? Have you been living under a rock for 70 years?
Great game. I remember watching this in Ireland and having to get up for school the next morning - was worth it. I wish the NFL was still this good.
It is absolutely incredible that the score is not on the screen. In 1998. Incredible. The 90s feel like the 30s now.
@Mr. Shark Tooth the glory days
@Mr. Shark Tooth more smashmouth
lmao this was my first thought. Whats the score? Who knows? Maybe we'll tell you in a bit
Back then they would put it on the screen for a few seconds and take it out.
This was a classic game. 2 great teams down to the wire. Great game
Greatest SB ever.
I love the Broncos for life, no other team in any other sport for me, but man, i really love Brett Favre as a player.
Mad respect fot the 4.
Here is a case as to why Super Bowl 32 is the absolute best Super Bowl game of all time:
1. John Elway finally wins the Super Bowl after three losses in Super Bowls 21, 22, and 24.
2. John Elway VS. Brett Favre, with the Packers being 14+ point favorites to go back-to-back.
3. The NFC's Super Bowl winning streak finally gets snapped at thirteen.
4. Both teams scored a touchdown on their opening possession.
5. The game stayed close throughout, where at one point, there were three ties.
6. John Elway's 3rd down helicopter dive in the 3rd quarter.
7. Terrell Davis battling through migraine headaches to score 3 touchdowns and win Super Bowl MVP honors.
One of the most gratifying wins in Super Bowl history!! I remember pulling so hard for Elway to win this game and he finally did!! During the coin toss you could tell that Doug Williams was really pulling for Elway. How could you not!! That was a Great night for him and the NFL. I'll never forget it!!
The day the NFC's aura of invincibility was shattered.
Younger people forget how one-sided these SB's were. The AFC not only lost, but routinely lost big.
Year after year.
Until this.

@@ericpackers1700 , I remember when Marty was coaching the Chiefs and the Broncos were playing at Arrowhead. Marty benches a red hot Gannon, and replaces him with Elvis G. I remember we all erupted in joy because we felt no way the Broncos were going to win if Gannon was starting. This SB was sort of a whoever had the ball last situation, when Denver the next year was playing the Falcons I knew we were going to win that one. Honestly, I was a Broncos fan way back when Morton and Moses were the M&M connection, and lost to the Cowboys. I never really thought I would live long enough to see Denver win even one SB, let alone 3. The Orange Crush years were a very special time to be in Denver, now it's a dumpster fire thanks to all the sanctuary city wokies. There was a bar on 93 outside Rocky Flats super fund site that we used to stop at for fish and chips on the way back from Boulder that was a total Packers bar. I actually like Green Bay, the teams we dislike are the dirty birds(Ravens), the Chiefs naturally, and of course the Raiders, who will always be the Oakland Raiders to me. Good times, I remember SB 10 where it was the Cowboys and Steelers and during the game one of the Cowboys players was hurt, and 4 Cowboys players 2 on each leg, grab the guy and drag him off the field so the game could continue. The game was a lot more brutal back then, no pink ribbons, kneeling, or moments of silence for everything under the sun. Glad I got to see football when it was in it's prime, good times for sure.

Jesus Torres broncos lost to the Seattle Seahawks in 2014
Nah...they didn't lose.
They imploded. There's a difference, they spectacularly imploded on the biggest stage in pro football really.
Name another SB with such a great team destroying their chances from the very outset. Seattle were the better team, but the Broncos gave away the first points on the first play. That was the tone of the whole game really.
Whereas the 2015 SB with the Panthers, I can't say for sure the Broncos or the Panthers were objectively the better team honestly, but that SB was a snore fest really, it felt to me like a regular season defensive shootout just happening to be in the biggest stage in pro gridiron.
Jesus Torres you are a loot top
DieKolkrabe To be honest, if I weren't a huge Broncos fan, there's no way I could watch that game again. When my team has only one sustained drive and really didn't produce an offensive touchdown, it ain't good.
But the Broncos have won a Super Bowl since that implosion. Have the Seahawks? See ya later.
I tailgated this Game because I couldn't afford a Ticket. Stayed with a Navy friend, coming down from Park City, Utah to see Superbowl 32( Forever A Denver Broncos and ELWAY FAN Growing up in Weatherford/ Lake Granbury, Tx). When ELWAY did the Helicopter Dive on 3rd and 6 for 8 Yards and a 1st Down at the GB 4, then went up 24- 17, Eventually WINNING 31-24, .......................I'm still Eternally HAPPY and Thankful for that.
Such a classic so much nostalgia frtiz shurmur rest in peace
I’m only 12 minutes and 34 seconds into this video and I just gotta stop and say that I love and appreciate the respect that was had before the coin toss when all the players shake hands, you could genuinely see a level of respect PRE-GAME that the players had for each other. I love that. If there’s one thing that football has taught me it is, whether you’re the big guy or the scrappy little dude it’s greatness that brings the best out of all of us. To clarify GREATNESS being the pinnacle of respect, love and achievement.
Been following football since the early 1980s - and from start to finish this is still the finest NFL game I have ever seen. Very few mistakes made, well-officiated, no unnecessary delays in play, just two great teams slugging it out.
2:26:04 - the iconic shot of Elway being carried off that you still see to this day.

Still hurts watch the NFL greatest games on this it's 🔥
23 years ago. I was 32 then living in Austin. Rooting for the Pack as I was enjoying the wonderful chemistry between my favorite receiver duo of Robert Brooks and Antonio Freeman. Then Dorsey Levens makes the Pro Bowl and Brett gets his 3rd MVP. While watching this game, I was happy to see at least before halftime that Mark Chmura got into the act. Chmura caught that beautiful 23 yarder, and then scores the TD with 4 catches for 43 yards. Very respectable for a pro bowl TE.
Ya played our worst offensive game and still should of won if not for 4 healthy defensive lineman and couldn't pick up blitz and recievers couldn't separate besides Freeman
I remember watching this at 10 years old not truly knowing the real significance of Elway winning a ring.

He had a migraine.
I watched John Elway when played college at Stanford and his entire career in Denver winning back to back super bowls at the end of his career and then as an executive with Denver bringing in Peyton Manning and winning a third is phenomenal.
Thank you for uploading this! This is the first super bowl I ever watched as a kid at my first ever super bowl party and it made me a Denver Broncos fan for life : )
Same as Packers fan still good memories but 96 team had more offensive firepower and only had 4 healthy defensive lineman and they were gassed
does anyone like the sound of older games versus newer games?
beerwine69 I think it’s just NBC. They just do a better job at sports in gen than any of the major networks. Their sound quality/music/player bios were always better IMO
Your right it was NBC but there was something about how the games were back in the 90s.
Older games had Summerall and Enberg. You couldn't beat those guys. Now you've got Nantz and Buck. No comparison.

36:22 TDs face maybe first indication of migraine
Don't think he was the greatest but what a guy, Elway really deserved that win. Everyone regardless of allegiances was happy for him that day.

Packers didn't play their best & could of won but didn't have Andre rison or Keith Jackson as 2nd elite tight end & never got Dorsey levens going
The Denver Broncos won SB32 because they deserved to win it. The Green Bay Packers were a strong star studded team coming into this game as defending SB champions from the previous year. Brett Favre had just won his third consecutive MVP award and was in the middle of his prime. The Denver Broncos and John Elway were better than a lot of people gave them credit for in this game.

GrassValleyGreg Terrell Davis is easily one of the most underrated players in NFL history. I personally believe that he is one of the greatest running backs of all time. Easily the best running back in Broncos history. Super Bowl MVP, NFL MVP, had 2,476 yards in the entire 1998 season (regular and playoffs) and was a flat-out BEAST.

very interesting indeed
I was so proud of those Broncos, I not only sat through the Broncos losses in SB's but the other AFC teams too.
The 13 SB losses in a row were from the teams below.
Bills-4
Broncos-3
Patriots-2
Steelers
Dolphins
Bengals
Chargers
So proud to see the Broncos be the AFC team to stop the run and punch the NFC in the mouth. If Terrell Davis does not go out the entire second quarter, this would have been a blowout.
Only the Bengals and the Bills in one of their SB's played a competitive SB during the run.
The Broncos blocked not only as an O line but receivers and TE's too.
Loved this team.

Real competitive Super Bowl Era stared with this one.
True, but I would argue that the final scores “masked” the fact that 3 of the previous 4 Super Bowls were quite competitive. (Particularly SB 30. )
Before Ovechkin finally winning the Cup, before the Cubs finally winning the World Series, before the Cavaliers finally winning the Finals, before the Red Sox breaking their curse, before Ray Bourque finally winning the Cup, there was John Elway and the Broncos finally winning the Super Bowl.
There were a few of those moments in 1998. Dale Earnhardt finally won the Daytona 500, Jana Novatna finally won Wimbledon, and I am sure I am missing one or two others.

I remember once I saw the Elway run in the 3rd, I knew we were going to win. I friend of mine who I saw his 49er's win 55 - 10 was so happy to see this.
Broncos offensive line was absolutely superb in this game, opening holes for Terrell (TD) Davis and protecting Elway.
one of my fondest childhood memories was watching this game. i had my n64 running ocarina of time on channel 3 so i could play during commercial breaks then switch back to watching terrell davis run all over green bay.
Same here even as a Packers fan I watch this all the time because this was the glory days of my youth and family life and I wish these days would comeback while having a girlfriend who isn't looking at shallow things
28:01 Elway's first scramble, he WAS a great scrambler in the 80's, the fastest QB besides Randall Cunningham. It made Broncos fun to play in video games. If he still had legs in 97 to bootleg out of Shanahan outside zone play action they'd have been 15-1 favorites.
29:23 OMG they put 340lb NT Gilbert Brown #93 'Grave Digger' on skates. As a packer fan watching all the runs this drive Id be upset. Its In the first possession, so this aint exhaustion we always see in 4th quarter run blocking effectiveness.
I fixed the plumbing line that broke under John Mobley's Tennis/Basketball court in Parker Colorado cement truck drove over it.the young man was huge.
Imagine the fine Goodell would give Atwater for that hit! Jesus
lol no kidding. And people wonder why 5000 yard seasons from QBs are common place now.
Tredzi back then it wasn't goddell but this year he would probably suspend him too
Another noticeable change is how huge the linebackers were back then compared to now. Back then they had to be big to hold up in the run game while now they have to be fast enough to play in the nickel.
With how many fines he would rack up, Atwater would be playing for free
For real ! Atwater would be flat broke!! But then so would Rodney Lott, Lawerence Taylor ! I’m ran sheesh
This was a phenomenal SB
Ya I'll admit even as Packers fan who had best run defense in NFL that year just watched NFL films NFLs greatest games of this highly recommended
Watch the NFL greatest games on this it's even better with all the players commenting like egeune Robinson and Darren sharper lmao
I don't believe Elway is the G.O.A.T. but I do think his passing style is perfect. He had a rocket arm and was pretty damn accurate, and when he planted that foot good things happened for Denver.
John for me being a lifelong broncos fan will always be the goat he fought through some of the worst coaches and front office the tommy maddox debacle i could go on forever it was the greatest night for a bronco fan .
Elway is the only way
He was inaccurate: a 56% completion rate is really bad. Montana & Young were accurate. Warner & Peyton as well
@@vulcanraven9701 Kurt Warner and Manning and fairy boy Brady are pampered by refs and don't face real defense like you see in this game
@@michaeljones-um8sn elway was inaccurate even compared to his contemporaries. Marino threw 40+TD twice,63% completion. Joe avg 63% his whole career. Favre/Young was more accurate too. All had better TD:INT ratio
One of my very first memories is the helicopter run. I love you, Dad.
John Elway was my favorite qb as a kid. I was 7 during this game, the 3rd superbowl I remember watching. To me, nothing compares to this game. This game cemented my interest in football, it's what made me want to play in little league.
The NFC DOMINATED the Super Bowl for years. This one changed all that.
Yes go pack go for life regardless
It was great seeing Elway finally win a Superbowl. The Broncos were 0-4 in super bowls before This game and Elway was 0-3 with some historic blowout losses. Terrell Davis was the heart of that offense though and was the best rb in the league for a few seasons. Broncos would repeat and cement Elways and Terrell's legacy as all-time greats.
Too bad the Packers had to throw the game so the cry baby elway could get a ring.
@@SharonPalmer-md3jkshould of won and played their worst game on offense
Even as Packers fan this nostalgic to watch lol
Mannnnn😂😂😂 ik im not the only one to see Tim Mckyer(#26) on the Broncos do some SERIOUS air pumps😂😂😭😭
I grew up as a Raider fan, hating John Elway, and this was one of my favorite SBs. Elway deserved one, and the AFC hadn't won since the 83-84 Raiders. Davis was amazing and it was competitive all the way through. This SB is one of the more important ones in the history of the NFL.
As Packers fan this team was back to back caliber played their worst game of year and almost won still with cte now Davis would of been pulled from game smh lol
@@packersauburneric3625 the Packers didn't play a bad game. They just couldn't stop Terrell Davis. Broncos won, Packers didn't lose.
@@shannonadkinsmusic5767 nowadays with Davis he would of not been aloud back in smashmouth era when nobody ever threw for 4000 yards now it's unheard of for good QBs to not do that
@@shannonadkinsmusic5767 and big ole Gilbert brown and then we're gassed and only could dress 4 healthy lineman which is why Seth Joyner was pass rushing so much to preserve poor guys with McKenzie
Both these teams were loaded. A true heavyweight fight.
Ya last elite Packers defense with favre went to waste cause lineman got dominated besides being gassed
