Re: "The Quarter"

Some NFL network or ESPN show a few weeks back had that as the best Super Bowl moment ever.

Also, in that game there is another thing I won't forget which I believe was the turning point.

If you remember, the first time the broncos had the ball they socred a TD. Skins fans were stunned.

Next time Broncos have the ball they are just marching down the field again like we aren't there.

On third down around the 11, Elway calls a qb draw and looks like he's going into the end zone untouched.

From a pile, up reaches the huge paw of #65, DAVE BUTZ and pulls him down from behind.

Denver did get the 3 pts but we held them and it gave us hope. Otherwise, we are down two scores in the first qtr and looking at doom.

Without a doubt, the 2nd qtr was the finest 15 minutes of football I've ever seen, but Dave Butz kept us alive when we needed it.

I always remind people that as amazing as scoring 5 TDs in one quarter sounds, I tell them you have to remember we had to give back the ball after every score. So we would score, give them the ball - the D would hold. Get the ball back and Score again. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
