What is your favorite Denver Broncos memory and why?

I’ve been a Broncos fan since 2003 and I live in the City of Champions (Cleveland, Ohio). So besides Super Bowl 50? I’ve seen the Broncos a few times in person (twice in Cleveland [2006 and 2008, I missed last year’s due to work] and once in Buffalo [2011]).

In 2008, the Broncos came from 10 points down in the fourth quarter to win. This was the game where Brandon Stokley prevented Brandon Marshall from putting on his black and white glove – to celebrate President Obama’s election – after a touchdown to prevent drawing a penalty.

In 2006 I got to see Jake Plummer, my favorite Bronco ever, in person for the only time, five games before he was benched. The only Browns touchdown from that game came from Joe Jurevicius, who was a local product and was coached as a freshman by my dad. So that was a win-win for me. I pick these because I’m a remote fan and don’t get to see them live a whole lot.

But other than those, the Tebow-to-DT OT TD against the Steelers is just tops. That was the first time a game made my cry (in a good way). I was legitimately shocked and supremely happy. 2011 was awesome, man.
