I think I was hunting with my dad during that game. So we were actually listening to the game on the radio as we were driving back to town. What an adrenaline moment especially not being able to see it but hearing whoever that old color guy was was it Zimmer? That was calling the game

I remember all 8 appearances.

I remember all with Elway or Manning. The earlier ones with Elway I was just a kid but remember watching with my Dad, I was in my early 20s and had just returned to the US from my tour in Japan when we finally broke through and won. What a game, I'll always remember the game, where I was, who I was with, and the elation that I felt which couldn't be more than 1% of what they all felt.

I sat on my couch and sobbed!

Remember when the Broncos/Chargers use to be the game of the week covering the majority of the US, and no one cared to watch a Giants/Eagles game? Those were the good ol days.

We were in Layton, Utah at my wife’s first duty station Hill AFB. We went to her co-worker’s apartment with about 20 others. Me and one other guy were the only Bronco fans there and the rest were Packer fans or going for the Packers. Fun times.

Legendary duo.

Christmas Eve, 2006. Broncos hosted the Bengals. If the Broncos won I was going to propose to my girlfriend. If they lost, then maybe some other time.

With 41 seconds to go the Bengals were going to tie it up with an extra point after a TD - and they missed! Broncos held on to win and we've been married for 14 years. Looks like I won, too.

I was supposed to be at that game but a snowstorm in the days leading up to it got my flights canceled. Glad it worked out for you!!!

I was on leave at my former in-laws in NJ watching that game. I was so excited because I thought it meant we had made the playoffs. I didn't think there was any way we could possibly lose the next week to the terrible Alex Smith led 49'ers...

What I think of any time I see the phrase “Good Old Days”
