History

Historical Context

In 1998 John Elway capped his career by guiding the Denver Broncos to a 14-2 season and a Super Bowl win, earning MVP honors in Super Bowl XXXIII. His retirement followed four earlier Super Bowl losses and a salary-cap scandal that later cost Denver two third-round picks. The Broncos’ reliance on veteran talent echoes today’s challenges with aging stars like Saints defensive end Cam Jordan.
