Horsehead History: Super Bowl XXXIII- Denver 34, Atlanta 19

Super Bowl MVP John Elway threw for 336 yards and a touchdown in what would be his final game as the Broncos easily handled the Atlanta Falcons to repeat as Super Bowl Champions 34-19. Darrien Gordon picked off Falcon QB Chris Chandler twice and Fullback Howard Griffith had two touchdowns as well, but Super Bowl XXXIII was John Elway riding the 1998 Broncos into the sunset.

Horsehead's Memories: Some say the Broncos won this game early in the second quarter when Atlanta went for it on fourth down only down 7-0 and Jamal Anderson was tackled for a two yard loss. Some would say the game was won the night before when Falcons Safety Eugene Robinson was arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover cop covering as a hooker. Either way this Super Bowl was a rewarding easy win to end Elway's Super Bowl run of blowout losses and classic wins. Ironically it was over Dan Reeves, who had upset the Minnesota Vikings which would have been a much tougher matchup. The 1998 Broncos started the season 14-0 and are slighted in the discussion of great NFL teams partly because so much attention is given to Elway's winning his two titles in his final two years. But the late 90's Broncos run, matches up with any in NFL history and they provide Broncos fans with Super Bowl memories that were needless to say rewarding.
