On January 25, 1998, the Denver Broncos were finally able to win their first world championship, 31-24 over the Green Bay Packers.
After numerous appearances and numerous losses on the NFL’s biggest stage, the Denver Broncos were thought to have been almost an afterthought to the defending Super Bowl-winning Packers. The Packers came into Super Bowl XXXII as 11-point favorites, and the NFL had won the Super Bowl for 13 consecutive years.
The game featured eight future Pro Football Hall of Famers, five from the Broncos (John Elway, Terrell Davis, Steve Atwater, Pat Bowlen and Shannon Sharpe) and three from the Packers (Brett Favre, Reggie White, Ron Wolf).
