John Elway had achieved everything in his NFL career except winning a Super Bowl. In 1997 the Broncos finished 12-4 and sneaked through the AFC playoffs to face the Packers in Super Bowl XXXII. Denver was an underdog but hung tough against the defending champs. On a key third-down play in the third quarter, the 37-year-old Elway scrambled for eight yards, dove into two Green Bay defenders and was spun in the air like a helicopter. Running back Terrell Davis said later that he knew at that moment the Broncos would win, which they did, 31-24.
