I always thought Paul Maguire was such an underrated commentator we definitely took him for granted. I miss him breaking down the play in instant replays🫶
1.25.24 it’s 26 years later and I’m still crying!! lol I became a Broncos fan when I was 8 (1977) besides my kids being born this was one of the best days of my life!!!
From a lifelong Rams fan, I was ecstatic for John Elway to win that Superbowl. I remember watching that game and cheering when John Mobley broke up that pass
Not an upset. There, I said it. These teams were evenly matched, and people favored the packers, simply because they're in the nfc, and they won the previous super bowl. That's the only reason why. All the red flags green bay had in 1997 were ignored, like losing to the 0-10 colts, having a turnover differential of zero, brett favre regressing, the defense giving up 282 points as opposed to 210 in 1996. I completely understand if you had the packers favored. When you win a super bowl, and have another 13-3 season, you deserve credit, even if you are overrated, but 11 point favorites? That just shows how much respect the broncos got entering this game, even though they were similar to the packers in most ways. Literally, a 2 point loss at kansas City changed everything. If pete stoyanovich misses that kick, denver gets home field in the afc playoffs, and maybe they get some respect, but knowing the incompetence at the time, they probably wouldn't have gotten any respect whatsoever, because they're in the afc. This was an upset, because the world needed to shut the hell up about the nfc owning the afc. The streak had to end sometime, it just happened to end this time. It also showed red flags can't be ignored. Specifically, the 97 packers' MANY red flags. They were very overrated
In the late 90’s when FOX came, they brung the future of NFL on TV, they gave a futuristic feel, while NBC gave the feel of what NFL on TV was until 1994-1997 & gave that old school, sometimes nostalgic feel.
1:20, 3:22, 4:42, 6:15, 9:00, 9:54, 11:07, 12:09, 16:24, WHAT A POST!!! The final Super Bowl call by the GREATEST play by play broadcaster of ALL TIME!!! OHHHH MY!!!! Dick Enberg!
I noticed that NBC was very, very slow to "change with the times". NBC incredibly reluctant to put up a permanent scoring graphic bug, when Fox had been doing it right from the moment that they began broadcasting the NFL in 1994. And I believe, that 1997 was the year that ABC finally got around to doing the same for Monday Night Football. But it seemed like the people running NBC Sports at the time (e.g. Dick Ebersol and company) were locked into this mindset that a permanent scoring graphic might sway viewers from not wanting to watch the entire game, if they instantly know what the score is.
One of the biggest problems with NBC Sports in the late '90s and the turn of the millennium is that they were slow and reluctant to keep up with the times. It just made them look really outdated, backwards thinking, and stubborn. When Fox got the NFC package from CBS in late 1993, it became a major game changer (no pun intended). Fox was the first network to have a permanent scoring bug on screen (if you want to get technical though, ABC and ESPN first did it for the 1994 FIFA World Cup) among the big four North American team sports. It's little surprise then that CBS, when they picked up the AFC package from NBC, introduced their own scoring big.
One of the best theme songs ever. It’s like it perfectly captures the beauty and majesty of the game.

Call me old fashioned...but the 90's NBC and CBS themes are the best sports themes in existence.
I don’t like the CBS’s theme from this time but the NBC’s was classic and so is Fox (same as today too)
I agree. And the ABC Monday Night Football theme is epic too.
Totally agree
I agree @John Skudris I love em but TNF NBC & modified v. Of CBS in 2001 are good too
I'm still trying to find the video of when the Cowboys vs Bills second game and they played right now by van Halen. The 90's were so awesome.

One word: Classic
The AFC snapped that 13 game losing streak to the NFC in this Super Bowl.
So thrilled that my all-time favorite QB finally got over the hump in this game. And to think he won another the next year as well.
In the late 90’s when FOX came, they brung the future of NFL on TV, they gave a futuristic feel, while NBC gave the feel of what NFL on TV was until 1994-1997 & gave that old school, sometimes nostalgic feel.
What a great way to put it!

Yes
NBC's last NFL game...until 2006, that is.

The continuous score and time on the screen was probably one of the best innovations of the 90’s along with the first down line.
Grande Elway! Volvió siendo un 'veterano' y lo consiguió! 🏈🏆🙌😎
I remember that Atwater collision, that was nasty!
The day the NFC’s aura of Super Bowl invincibility was shattered
… and the era of AFC dominance began.
And the long awaited first Broncos SB!!!
This was the last NFL game aired on television that did not have the "score bug" on the screen at all times.
This one's for john!!!!
Final Super Bowl on NBC until January of '09 when Pittsburgh played Arizona.
You mean february of '09, right?
@@steveheredia-aguilar8519 you are right. They literally played February 1st
It was February 1st 2009
4th Greatest upset in SB history
3. Super bowl 3
2. Super bowl 36
1. Super bowl 42
NBC not having a scorebug for this game was inexcusable

Feel free to cringe every time you hear the collision at 16:16
I hated these new Broncos uniforms but I was glad John got his win after so many tries.
I remember a lot of people didn’t like them, but to their credit, that design has lasted 20+ years.
They won back to back titles in those uniforms first two years. Greatest uniform debut of all time by far
