In the last few years of his playing career, John Elway was joined by running back Terrell Davis in an offense run by coordinator Gary Kubiak and saw the team win 39 regular season games and two Super Bowls between 1996 and Elway’s retirement after the 1998 season.
Elway was 38 when he walked away, which is a bit younger than Peyton Manning is now, and there’s no one producing at quite the level Davis was in those days, but Elway is expecting a similar kind of relationship between quarterback and running game with Kubiak back in the fold as head coach.
