Just saw this article on ESPN, about the "helicopter" that is still etched into Super Bowl history!
I remember that so well. In a sports bar surrounded by Chief fans rooting against the Broncos....worried that we are going against the tough Packers, already a huge underdog with 13 years of NFC dominance...and the fear of coming SOOO close again and failing. But when John made that 1st down, I jumped up out of my seat, SCREAMING with my fists held high, yelling "WE ARE GOING TO DO IT!!!!!" It was THE moment in that game that I just KNEW the Broncos were going to get their first Super Bowl win!!
great article, fun to read the perspective from all the players involved from both teams.

"Even when Elway collided with those defenders and spun sideways before landing on the turf, he couldn't have grasped what he'd done. In 8 hard-earned yards, he'd produced one of the most memorable first downs in Super Bowl history."
