(The best ever, in my opinion, and quarterbacked the winning team in the second best NFL game I ever saw...even though he wore #19 to do it.)
Broncos vs. Chiefs at Denver (Oct. 17. 1994)
Two HOF QBs mano-a-mano: John Elway vs. Joe Montana, who never looked quite right in a Kansas City uniform. The game unraveled in a beautifully symmetrical fashion:
End of first quarter: 7-7.
End of second quarter: 14-14.
End of third quarter: 21-21.
Finally, with 4:08 left, Lin Elliott broke the deadlock with a 19-yard chip shot. A bizarre trade of fumbles followed: Shannon Sharpe lost the ball on the Chiefs 40 and KC recovered, but on the very next play, Marcus Allen fumbled and the Broncos recovered.
Then Elway ran in for a TD on another strange play, with the confused Denver offense fielding only 10 players. Score: Broncos 28, Chiefs 24. Montana followed with a picture-perfect two-minute drill from his own 25, completing seven of eight passes, including the final 5-yard TD pass to Willie Davis with 13 ticks to go. On the day, Montana was 34 for 54 for 393 yards and 3 TDs.)
