Its amazing to watch how much slower and less intense the game was back then. You can see in a play the defender had a direct shot to sack him, but he kind of stands there looking to deflect a pass attempt. The passes themselves are slower too.
Gott’em right where we want’em.
“The drive”
when I became a Broncos and Elway fan
One of my fondest memories as a kid.
It is a bit weird that we are so proud of AFC championships when we just got dominated by the NFC in every SB after. In modern era nobody talks about the Bengals being clutch underdog AFC champions when they lost the SB after.
