SUPERBOWL XXXII
DENVER BRONCOS.............31
Green Bay Packers.................24
What they said (before we won):
Elway:
"Just go get open." - at 37, he still invents plays.
"I'm really tired. I feel so old." - he then flashed his famous toothy grin.
"This is the best football team I've been on since I've been in Denver and, hopefully, we've saved our best for last. We're ready to stop the AFC drought."
"When you get to where I am, the only thing that really matters is winning. That's why we play the game, why I still play the game."
"It would be a great end to a story, don't ya think?"
"We're kind of feeling a little like David and they are Goliath."
"We're not afraid to fail. You can't be world champs unless you face it. We're just happy that we have the opportunity."
Coach Shanahan:
"I'm proud of you guys." - repeated throughout the playoffs.
What they said (after we won):
Davis:
"I'm numb right now. I can't even reflect on my game. It is going to take a while for this to set in."
Elway:
"You wonder if you're going to run out of years but fortunately I hung on."
"Other than my wife and my four kids, there's nothing better than this."
"I can't believe it. It's been a lot of work."
"I knew the best way to get to the first down would be jumping. Luckily, my three-inch vertical was just enough."
"The feeling is three times better than anything I could have imagined. To think I'll never have to answer those questions again. This wipes my slate clean."
"I can't believe it. I treasure all those thoughts and the players. It's just great. It's a great organization. I am so proud that this team came together. We did it the hard way, but for all Bronco fans that never had this feeling, we finally got it done."
"I don't care how we did it because we did it. The way this works is that quarterbacks are judged on this game. Until you win here, they say your career isn't complete. I always heard that and wasn't sure about it. But, no, if I hadn't won this, mine wouldn't have been complete either."
Habib:
"It was pretty amazing to see your leader, your franchise try something like that. It was motivating. I was standing there thinking, 'I can't believe I just saw John Elway do that'." - on Elway's vertical, for a first down.
Coach Shanahan:
"I said, 'You've done it. You've been the catalyst of the organization since you've been here. You've been the guy who set the standard for a number of years'. I appreciate him for being the way he is and how he handles himself. He's a true professional and a classy guy to be around." - on Elway.
Pat Bowlen:
"This one's for John."
"Jesus Christ is Lord"
