#2- The Drive

The Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns met in the AFC Championship Game that would decide who would go to Super Bowl. It was the most entertaining game in Broncos history (I never saw the game, but I did watch the drive that I will be talking about)

Trailing 20-13 with a little over 5 minutes to go in the game, the Broncos muffed the kickoff and were pinned at their own two yard line. Then the magic would begin. John Elway, like a surgeon, was able to drive the team down the entire 98 yards in small bits. The biggest play of the entire drive was 22 yards.

What probably impressed me the most of the drive was that the Cleveland defense could not force a 4th Down at all. Plus, Elway was cool and collected (from my eyes) for that entire drive.

The Broncos offense knew that they had the Browns and took full advantage. The Broncos would go on to win the game in overtime by the score of 23-20.
