ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Promise is likely now somewhere on the list.
With the franchise's record-tying eighth trip to the Super Bowl already booked, John Elway’s declaration to Peyton Manning in 2012 is wedged into the list of historical references that includes Orange Crush, The Helicopter, T.D., Back-to-Back, This one’s for Floyd Little, Dan Reeves and Mike Shanahan.
The Denver Broncos are in their second Super Bowl in three seasons, and have won five consecutive division titles -- four since Manning joined the team. The Broncos are 50-14 in those four years.
And it has all gone almost according to the plan Elway presented to Manning during the quarterback’s free-agency tour in 2012. At the time, Elway looked across the desk and promised, "I would do everything in my power" to make sure Manning finished his career "the way I finished mine."
