Super Bowl: “This one’s for Pat!”

Denver Broncos' Super Bowl run

The Denver Broncos are Super Bowl champs. Let that sink in for a moment …

After nearly two decades, the Broncos are back on top, and honestly, I don’t know how to take it in; my emotions are numb.

I, as I’m sure so many of you have too, have waited for this moment for years, but even now, after almost a week to soak it all in, I don’t know how it happened. I mean, I do. But, man, what a story, right?

Just going back through this season to find these five moments has sparked so many other memories that I’m not really sure how to put it all together. Ten years from now, how will we remember the 2015 season? Will we remember it for the drama? Peyton Manning’s last stand? Brock Osweiler’s relief appearance? The defense’s dominance?

There are so many storylines that have played a role in these last 19 games, but in the end, the thing I believe I’ll remember most is John Elway standing up on that podium and bellowing, “This one’s for Pat!”

I think I speak for all of Broncos Country when I say that those four words were a long time coming and much needed; they encapsulate the importance of this season and the bond that will tie all 53 of these men, the coaching staff and the organization together for the rest of their lives.

Go Broncos.
