THE DENVER POST, Denver, Colorado, January 25, 1998
* Denver Broncos win Super Bowl XXXII over the Green Bay Packers
* John Elway & Terrell Davis
* This is the "Extra" Edition printed on the day of the Super Bowl
This 4 page newspaper contains news of the Denver Broncos finally winning the Super Bowl with John Elway as their leader. The front page has the bold and emphatic: "FINALLY!", with a large color photo showing John Elway with a raised fist. The back page has a very nice team photo. Additional photos and coverage are found on pages 2 and 3.
Complete is 4 pages and in very good condition (see images). Great to have in a Denver newspaper printed on the same day as the game.
wikipedia notes: Having lost a disappointing playoff game to Jacksonville the year before, many thought this might be John Elway's last chance to win a Super Bowl. They started off the season by winning their first six games, beating the Chiefs, Seahawks, Rams, Bengals, Falcons and Patriots. They then lost to the Raiders, then defeated the Bills, Seahawks, and Panthers. They then lost to the Chiefs, beat the Raiders and the Chargers, lost to the Steelers and the 49ers, but finished the season with a win against the Chargers.
They made the playoffs as a wildcard and advanced against the Jaguars and Chiefs and defeated the Steelers in the 1997 AFC Championship. They then won Super Bowl XXXII against the Packers 31-24, only the third team to ever win a Super Bowl as a wildcard. The win was a big morale boost to Denver and the Broncos, who had suffered through four previous Super Bowl losses, and especially Elway, who had led three of those defeats.
