It was January 11, 1987 when John Elway drove the Denver Broncos 98 yards in five minutes to tie the AFC Championship Game against the Cleveland Browns. Watch the monumental Broncos series in its entirety as we celebrate new monuments in Broncos playoff history today.

Lookin’ good, Mr. Ravenstahl. [Lauren Daley, Twitter] The Denver Post is debating whether Josh McDaniels‘ return to New England during the playoffs is an affront to the unwritten rules of sportsmanship (y’know, since McDaniels and Belichick have no experience in the matter).
