Super Bowl XXXII – Denver Broncos 31, Green Bay Packers 24

Super Bowl XXXII took place in Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego California, on January 25, 1998. Denver took on the defending champion Green Bay Packers in what would be a classic Super Bowl Battle. The Green Bay Packers were a huge 11.5 point favorite in the game against the Denver Broncos, who made it to the Super Bowl as a wild card team.

Denver had the 17-14 lead at half-time even though Terrell Davis sat out most of the second quarter with a migraine headache. With 1:45 left in the game, Denver and Green Bay was tied at 24-24. Denver had the ball when on second and goal, Terrell Davis scored his third touchdown of the day to give Denver a 31-24 lead.

Terrell Davis rushed for 157 yards and caught 2 passes for 8 yards. Coach for Green Bay, Mike Holmgren, told the defense to let Davis score as that would give Bret Favre and the Green Bay offense more time to drive down the field and tie the game. The reason Holmgren let them score was because it looked like Denver was going to run down the clock and kick a field goal. His decision didn’t work. Brett Favre drove the Packers into Denver territory, but John Mobley (51) knocked down Favre’s fourth-down pass to Mark Chmura with less than 30 seconds left to give the Broncos and veteran quarterback John Elway their first Super Bowl championship, 31-24.

Terell Davis was Super Bowl MVP. It was the first Super Bowl victory by a wild-card team, and only the second over all. The last wild-card winners were the Oakland Raiders in 1981.
