Last week I wrote about some endearing moments and memories of our first Super Bowl victory.
Like eating peanuts, it is hard to stop at just one.
Very few franchises have ever won consecutive Super Bowls, and by being one of the few, the Denver Broncos created forever memories in the minds of Broncos Country.
Before we won the first, I was advancing our "Monday Night Football" game at San Francisco and stopped to briefly grab some Chinese food before my next appointment.
As is custom, there was a fortune cookie at the end. Mine read, "Something good is coming your way."
For some reason, I saved it and taped it in my notepad.
As we prepared to face San Francisco, I never would have dreamed that we would lose, nor that we would not lose again for almost an entire calendar year.
So let's see what happened in that time:
We won Super Bowl XXXII in San Diego. Terrell Davis was the MVP in his hometown. We had a victory parade so large that its attendance could only be guessed.
And, yes, we won all of our games until almost exactly one year later, when we lost to the Giants in New York.
The Broncos were really, really good that year.
Davis ran for over 2,000 yards in 1998 and was named NFL MVP, adding to his future Hall of Fame resume. Kicker Jason Elam tied the NFL record for the longest field goal with a 63-yarder at home against Jacksonville. The Broncos rolled past Miami in the Division Round playoff game. The Broncos overcame a scoreless first half to whack the New York Jets in the title game.
There is always an upset along the way; I figured it would not be us — and it was not, as Atlanta defeated the powerful Vikings in the NFC title game.
