Enjoy, everyone!

Al Michaels: "If this was a fight, they might stop it." LOL!!

Ricky Sanders with 150 yards and 2 tds before halftime. Wow.

I was barely 9 years old at the time of that game, and I still remember it so well. My Dad's friend threw a great Super Bowl party, and I was all decked out in my Skins gear, bouncing around his basement with some of the other kids when we started lighting up the Broncos. Later that night in the car on the way home, people were screaming out their car windows, honking their horns and flashing their headlights. Awesome stuff.

Re: "The Quarter"

You're right. I will never forget. Does that make you proud to be a Redskin fan or what?

see my earlier post, this quarter should've been dubbed the "TKO Quarter"

That's it folks, enjoy the halftime show, then we'll present the Lombardi!

Re: "The Quarter"

I remebmer the terrible, sinking feeling I had when elway threw that bomb, and boom, we're down 10-0.

Then like a connection of electric wires, D. Williams et al just crushed the broncos in every way. The late Pete Axhelm (sp?) said it best after this game, paraphrasing; 'sometimes super bowls are like heavyweight fights. Each team is swinging as hard as they can. If they miss they get knocked out.'

Re: "The Quarter"

The first and still the greatest Super Bowl I ever watched. You can tell it means a lot to me...look to the left.

Apart from Butz' play, there was also Alvin Walton's sack I believe on their next drive after that field goal which knocked them out of field goal range
