Do you know what happed on this day, January 25th, 1998? The Broncos beat the Packers 31-24 in the Super Bowl. So let's see how well you remember Super Bowl XXXII .
Whether the Packers left a few Super Bowls on the table over the last 30 years is not debatable. They did. And both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers share that same distinction. The organization has been blessed with two Hall of Fame QB's over the last three decades. Think about that for a moment. There's more than a full generation of people who have never seen the Green Bay Packers with a bad QB situation. Over those same thirty years, the Packers have always been in the mix. But Favre and Rodgers have won one Super Bowl each. Should have been more.
With the Broncos, John Elway seemed to be on a similar path as the Packer QB's. After his first three Super Bowls he was 0-3! Everyone said he couldn't win the big one. He finally broke through and won Super Bowl XXXII and came back the next year and won again. Then he retired. There's no better way to sail into the sunset that to go out a back-to-back winner.
