DVD Reviews of NFL Greatest Games Series: Denver Broncos Greatest Games
DVD Review: "Biggest Wins," maybe, but not "Greatest Games"
Summary: 3 Stars
The two Superbowl wins and the '77 AFC title game certainly are the three biggest wins...and admittedly, they belong on a "Greatest Games" collection. But too many legendary games are missing to call this pitiful offering a "Greatest Games." My personal list would include:
14. 1999 Playoffs - Denver 38, Miami 3. Terrell Davis, coming off his 2000 yard season, shreds the Miami defense for 199 yards on only 21 carries--and sits out the entire 4th quarter. The Fins, one of only 2 teams to have beaten Denver during the regular season, are just a bump in the road as the Broncos motor towards their second consecutive Super Bowl win.
13. 1999 - Superbowl XXXIII - Denver 37, Atlanta 19. John Elway's final game, also memorable for Elway's 80-yard bomb to Rod Smith and because the Broncos finally kick the living cr*p out of an opponent during a Super Bowl. The 1999 Broncos were clearly the best Broncos team ever.
12. 1977 Regular Season - Denver 30, Raiders 7. Denver carries a 4-0 record into Oakland to face their arch-nemesis, the Oakand Raiders, also 4-0. Denver had never even fielded a playoff team before; Oakland was the defending Super Bowl champ. Oakland scores on its first possession, Ken Stabler to Dave Casper, and Denver fans wonder, Are these Broncos for real? Denver answers in emphatic fashion. After that first Oakland possession, the legendary Denver Orange Crush defense absolutely destroys the vaunted Oakland line, stuffing the Raiders on the ground and harrying Stabler into making 7(!) interceptions. Denver pummels its way to a 14-7 lead, and late in the half, appears ready to tack on another 3 points with a field goal attempt. Surprise! Holder Norris Weese pulls the ball up, and 60-year old kicker Jim Turner (of '69 Jets fame--ok, he wasn't 60 but he was at least 40 and fat and slow) ambles his way unnoticed to the back of the end-zone, where he pulls in the pass from Weese to put the Broncos up 21-7 at the half. Stunned, the Raiders never recover their famous pride and poise, and Denver wins going away. The Denver Broncos, finally, for the first time EVER, are for real.
11. 1983 Regular Season - Denver 21, Baltimore Colts 19. OK, I got the blowouts out of the way, now for the close ones. This was the first of Elway's legendary comebacks. It's Elway's rookie season and he's playing only because Steve DeBerg is hurt; he throws 5 interceptions and Denver trails the Colts 19-0 heading into the 4th quarter. Suddenly Elway turns into Superman, throwing 3 TDs, the final one on 4th down, and the Broncs win. It was a taste of the Hall of Fame career to come.
10. 1992 Playoffs - Denver 26, Houston 24. Everybody remembers The Drive from the '88 AFC Championship Game. But this game featured, uh, The Other Drive. With 2:07 left and no time outs remaining, Denver is on its own 2 yard line trailing 24-23. Using his own legs, Elway converts a 4th and 6 to keep the drive alive, then faces a 4th and 10 on his own 35. Of course he converts the first down, hitting Vance Johnson for 44 yards and setting up the winning field goal by David Treadwell as time expires.
9. 1985 regular season - Denver 30, San Diego 24 (OT). This game features an aging Dan Fouts vs. a young Elway, a 98-yard kickoff return by Mike Anderson, and two 4th quarter lead changes before Denver ties the game with a field goal as time expires. But the reason this game is one of The Broncos' Greatest is the two blocked field goal attempts by Denver safety Dennis Smith--on consecutive plays no less (replayed because Denver mistakenly called time out before the first snap)--and Louis Wright's electrifying game-winning 60-yard touchdown return after the second blocked kick.
8. 1994 regular season - KC 34, Denver 28. Classic Monday night matchup: Joe Montana vs. John Elway. The game is tied at 21 going into the 4th quarter. KC goes ahead with a field goal and is poised to run out the clock when Ted Washington causes Marcus Allen to fumble, and Karl Mecklenburg recovers for Denver with 2:25 left. Elway promptly leads the Broncos on a scoring drive, taking it in himself on a rollout from the 6. Montana gets the ball back with only 1:29 left...and proceeds to pick apart the Denver secondary, hitting 7 of 8 passes, capped by the winning TD throw to Willie Davis with 8 seconds left. The only Denver loss on this list, but a game I'll never forget.
7. 1988 AFC Title Game - Denver 38, Cleveland 33. Denver bolts to a 21-3 lead, then Cleveland comes back to tie it at 31 before Elway hits Sammy Winder for the winning 23-yard TD. Cleveland's last-ditch drive ends with Ernest Byner's Fumble at the Broncos 2 with 1:12 left, part of NFL lore.
4 (Tie). The Revenge Tour: The 1998 Playoffs
Denver 42, Jacksonville 17. After the previous season's monumental 30-27 playoff upset loss at the hands of the Jags, Denver redeems itself. Denver again jumps out to an early lead but this time they keep the pedal to the metal. Both Davis AND backup Derek Loville post 100 yard rushing games against the Jags, as the Broncos score early and often. This has to be the most satisfying **s-whipping ever delivered by a Broncos team.
Denver 14, KC 10. A real nailbiter in KC against the hated Chiefs, who had beaten Denver just a few weeks previously to claim the division title. The Denver D make Davis' 1-yard TD plunge in the 4th quarter stand up, and the Broncos advance to the AFC title game against another old nemesis, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Denver 24, Pittsburgh 21. In Pittsburgh. Denver intercepts Cordell Stewart 3 times and forces a fumble, and Davis and the O-line run the ball right down the Steelers' throats. Denver is up 10 in the 4th quarter when Pittsburgh finally gets untracked and pulls within three. Denver runs it right up the gut for a first down, and needs one more first down to run out the clock. Elway tells Shannon Sharpe "Just get open," and Sharpe does. Elway's 5-yard pass converts the first down and all those "Terrible Towels" suddenly stop waving. Beautiful.
3. 1977 AFC Title Game - Denver 20, Oakland 17. Mile High Stadium. Defending Super Bowl Champ Oakland had split the season series with Denver (see game no. 12) to set up the ultimate rubber match. The Raiders score first, but the Broncos respond with a Craig Morton-to-Haven Moses 74 yard TD strike. Game on. In Oakland they still blame the loss on the early whistle on Rob Lytle's fumble, and Oakland coach John Madden still swears Jon Keyworth fumbled the ball before he broke the plane of the goal line on Denver's second touchdown. Get over it, Raiderettes. The real reason Denver wins is because when the game is on the line, the vaunted Raiders' defense can't stop the run. After Ken Stabler's TD to Dave Casper pulls the Raiders within 3 late in the 4th quarter, Denver runs over Oakland guard John Matuszak in much the same way that a city bus runs over a squirrel, except unlike a squirrel, the 'Tooz had to keep getting up, only to be run over again.
2. 1987 AFC Title Game - Denver 23, Cleveland 20. AFC Title Game, in Cleveland. The Drive. With Denver trailing 20-13 with 3 minutes left, Elway takes Denver 98 yards in 15 plays, into the teeth of the infamous Dog Pound. His 5 yard bullet to Mark Jackson ties the game with 39 seconds left. Rich Karlis wins it for Denver with a field goal in OT.
1. 1998 - Super Bowl XXXII - Denver 31, Green Bay 24. This game has been done to death, so I'll mention a play that usually gets overlooked in the game summaries: "The Block." In the first half, skinny Denver wide receiver Eddie McCaffery absolutely destroys a hapless Packers linebacker on a Davis running play, sending the Packers a message they couldn't miss: this time, with this team, it's gonna be different. After 38 years of futility and 4 previous Super Bowl fiascos, the Broncos--yes, the Broncos!--are going to win a Super Bowl.
