From Peyton's Places Season 2 Episode 2: Peyton Manning sits down with Hall of Fame QB and Denver Broncos legend, John Elway. Watch them breakdown Elway's famous comeback drive against the Cleveland Browns in the 1986 AFC Championship game and all that went into the legendary comeback!
Denver,bring back the old uniforms!!!
They won 3 Super Bowls and have been to 4 in the current 90s set. It looks very outdated but idk. Hope they bring back the old unis
@@Zach-mw5so i know. I like em. So what...u for it or not?
@@stevennewman8276 I wouldn’t mind if they brought back the old baby blues and orange. Time for a change
They should meet in the middle and just do the old uniforms but with the dark blue, basically the color Rush
@@SJT81 idk man. I like the baby blue myself
It's hard to explain how good Elway really was. His arm was an absolute cannon, he could make every throw, AND he could run. Montana was great, Marino was great, but neither of those guys were as talented as Elway.
You are so right. If you haven't seen Elway, there is no explaining it. His physical talent was off the charts, his toughness was legendary, but his sheer instincts for the game were unparalleled, as well. You could have everybody in the stadium knowing what he wanted to do, and he'd STILL make the play....even going deep against the prevent defense, which is supposed to be the one play that that defense is designed to 'prevent'....If people really understood who Elway was, they'd be calling Michael Jordan the Elway of the NBA...
Everyone knows Peyton is one of the greatest QBs in NFL history. But he may also be one of the greatest stewards of NFL history itself. Seeing him break down historic games/plays with the legends who were involved in those games/plays is absolutely fantastic.
Totally agree! He really loves football
I have never seen John looking so healthy and relaxed.
The quality of each of these videos are phenomenal. Hearing two of the best to ever do it talk is such a treat
*THE best two
Facts
As a Broncos fan, I love the fact that both of these guys retired on the high of winning a Super Bowl.
That 3rd and 18 throw is legendary. Elway was a beast on third and long with his throwing arm.
As a Browns fan watching that game, once he picked up that 3rd-and-18, that's when you knew he was going to take it the rest of the way in. If they couldn't stop him there, they weren't going to stop him.
Peyton had a few himself😂
that was a rocket
Elway was the Mahomes of the 80's. His throwing and mobility was off the chain.
But Elway didn't get the hype of a Mahomes back then. Montana and Marino seemed to get more of the media hoopla in those days. Dan Reeves conservative philosophy just wasn't conducive to Elway putting up Andy Reed driven Mahomes-like numbers.
@@Adrian-zw6sc yessir just saying because of elway baseball background. Watch his old highlights and are similar to Mahomes. His style I should say was like Mahomes. Not his numbers. And how many times he made it to the Superbowl. And fun fact Denver has the most Super bowl losses
@@binxnegale5801 I hear ya. Both blessed with sensational arm talent to compliment the athletic footwork for sure! But unlike Patrick, Elway had to compete most of his career in the pre-salary cap era. Little chance against those loaded 49ers, Redskins rosters.
@@Adrian-zw6sc very true bro 👍🏽
@@binxnegale5801mahomes isn’t one of the greats lmfao. Elway is typically regarded as the GOAT
Been a Broncos fan since 63. Wonderful to watch Elway and "The Drive". Brings back the fondest of memories. Thank you, Peyton, for coming to Denver when you did.
John Elway is the greatest qb ever. He took three average Broncos teams to the super bowl and then finally won two in a row.
People remember the SB Blowouts but he too outmatched from a talent abd coaching standpoint in those games. As soon as he got a good coach, he went back to back even when he was older and not quite as mobile as his young days
That Terrell Davis guy was pretty good though :)
That grin on Peyton's face after the touchdown. He's still that 10 year old kid in his backyard dreaming of a moment like this
I'm a cleveland brown for life. I tell you he broke a 12 years old little boy's heart with the drive.😢😢😢😢
Yea it sucked
IMO Elway is definitely in the discussion for Best All Time QB. Head Arm Mobile Guts Winner
As a Cleveland Browns fan, I'm still haunted by John Elway and the Denver Broncos 🤦🏽♂
The Canton Bulldogs have entered the chat
I'm a Jets fan. At least you have an experience
Dittooooo
@@chrisg750y'all have SB rings it's just been a half a century lol
These little things are the reasons I love Peyton you could tell when he wasn’t playing he was studying the game to get better, always aware of other players games and abilities it’s how you know he loves the game. 2 of the best to ever do it
You can tell that Manning just loves the game and watching all the old film with his favorite players.
Legendary voice of Dick Enberg to boot...THE DRIVE (even to this very day)
Elway was one of my favorite quarterbacks growing up. Gosh he was so much fun to watch. Never leave the game early when they were losing
I remember that game like it was yesterday everyone in Cleveland thought we were going to the Super Bowl ,but thanks to John Elway and the drive Cleveland was denied again ,and the city awful quiet the next week!
MAN!!! I miss this type of Football! I grew up in the 90's but the spirit of the NFL just doesnt feel like this anymore. LETS GO BRONCOS!!
Two of my top 3 favorites quarterbacks. I love elways drive to win. I remember crying as a kid when Elway lost superbowl 24.
These are great, keep them coming Peyton and crew
We have had more than our fair share of great quarterback play in Denver...so many great years
I remember THE DRIVE so well 🎉🎉
Elway's arm strength and accuracy allowed him to be one of the few, if not the only, QB's to get away with running out of the pocket one direction, then throwing across his body to throw an absolute laser-beam strike to a receiver 30 or 40 yards downfield on the opposite side of the field. That's a throw that mere mortal QB's would never dream of throwing for fear that it would be intercepted.
He's right, they'll never be another John Elway. I was very disappointed when the Broncos beat the Browns That season. But I was amazed at John Elway's performance. Much like I was amazed at a lot of damn Marino's and Peyton Manning's abilities and performances. It just shows how football smart they really are. And had one of Titans jerseys from the game he lost in Orleans. I was very disappointed that came as well. But it just proves that one man cannot win the game by himself. And that's why they call it team effort. Giving that extra block and making that extra effort on each and every play. These guys really studied the defense as well, and knew what they were doing. And a confidence level was just phenomenal
I'm not a Broncos fan here. Just had to say it first but I'm a Elway fan. I rooted for him to beat the Packers in Super Bowl XXXII and it ended up being an epic game. This is coming from a Raiders fan. Sacrilegious right! Lol
Hell yeah man, that takes some balls
Refs missed that holding call on third down and screwed the packers! Like 80% of the kost memorable playoff games end in packer Ls
That takes some stones, brother. But I'll admit as a lifelong Bronco fan, I rooted for the Raiders on Black Sunday against the 'skins. Didn't hate Washington or anything, But I did like Marcus Allen and Howie Long, and wanted 3 Mile Lyle to get a ring after so many years. Even enemies can show respect!
not me I was routing for packers so nfc teams continue 14 straight years winning a Superbowl, but broncos and john Elway ended it.but it still long streak 13 years.
@@leeturiano4419 Remember too 3 Mile Lyle was drafted as a Bronco.
The Duke and the Sheriff, it doesn't get any better than that.
Peyton finding and re-living the last throw of the drive in Cleveland is savage.
The smile on Peyton's face... you can tell what a fan of football he is.... so cool
I believe if brady trades places with elway or montana, he doesnt win as much and is out of the league quickly. on the other hand either elway or montana with todays rules.. they win many more SBs
John Elway is widely regarded as the greatest qb in nfl history, so I’m not sure what you’re getting at with this comment
Jon Elway was my first guy of football. Simply the best with that rocket arm, good mobility and tonnes of winning which made me a Broncos fan. Having Manning is just icing on the cake and makes me an even more proud fan to this day.
Manning was way better than elway
I became a fan of Elway after The Drive 2 against Houston. The game winner he threw to Rod Smith against Washington was insane too.
@@codyfoust2883uhh are you joking..? LOL
@@marcbasil it’s a fact
He had the strong arm and the mobility, but he was also strong. He could throw defenders off him. 8/13/23
God bless TRIPUCKA for having that much class to do that for PEYTON MANNING. I personally have never heard of anything like this. 😭💗👍
The first football game I ever saw was this game and this actual drive. I didn't know anything about football but watching this drive n what John elway did I became a fan for life.
As a colts fan, in hindsight, this hurts to watch Peyton retire a bronco. But it is poetic. Born a colt and grown into a bronco.
Remember, Elway was supposed to be drafted by the Colts in 83
Fantastic just fantastic two of the greatest to ever do it as a lifelong Broncos fan this was such a blessing to see these two break this down Thankyou 😊😊😊😊
Im a browns fan. I was at this game right next to dog pound. Elway was a special talent. Unless you were there, people do not realize how cold it was at this game. I have footage of Elway - Bledsoe and Favre in qb. competition for a Disney show. Elway threw almost every football thru the tires at 20 yards and I think only Bledsoe did it once. Thats special.
Love this! Been a Broncos fan since my family arrived in Denver in 1964. I was raised with Orange and Blue in my blood. I was visiting a college friend in Pueblo, watching 'The Drive' in another friend's bar that was not yet open to the public. I recall being so nervous, I could not sit still, pacing the floor with knots in my stomach to the point of almost puking (I had not been drinking). When barefooted Rich Karlis kicked the winning field goal, my knees buckled. This video demonstrates Peyton's competitive nature. Nearly 40 years later, after viewing this game multiple times, you can see the tension as he grits his teeth. In that moment, he was behind center. His reaction took me right back to that bar in 1987, pacing the floor and feeling sick to my stomach with anxiety. I remember the two-hour drive back to Denver listening to sports talk and recapping the game. In the days that followed I recall a news story about a pregnant woman going into labor after the game. She named her son 'Elway'. CRAZY good times in Broncos lore.
I watch “The Drive” about every year. Still shocked they got that 3rd and 18!
Techmo Bowl in the 80's
Growing up in the 90's, the drive captured my imagination. As a child just beginning to understand football, I asked myself, how could a team start on their own 2 yard line and score a game winning touchdown. Luckily I had Steve Sabol and Nfl films, good times.
Elway did it again against the Oilers with no timeouts in the playoffs in 91.
@@jonmolina948I was at that game we had seats in the upper level where we had a perfect view of the 4th down conversion on the game winning drive. I can still feel the excitement.
As a bronco fan… this is amazing.
I wish the Broncos would go back to their 80's uniforms. They are a better look.
Peyton is The Larry Bird of Quarterbacks...
In the original NFL Blitz....the BRONCOS were the best team to use. Elway, Davis, Sharpe, Smith, Romanowski....
Still one of the greatest things in sports I have ever watched while it happened! The Magnificent 7!!
Elway was looking where he was going to throw on that last play and that defense didn't even pick that up at all. Wow
More of this please. Two of the greatest to ever do it analyzing their best moments... Yes!
Love those stories Peyton, keep them coming
you can see peyton getting pumped up watching the footage
I'm a Brown's fan... So I'll watch this BS, but you know how I feel!! My Dad literally put his foot 🦶 threw the speaker on our floor modile T.V.!!!
Oh I won't even try what "the fumble" was like in my household!! However Cleveland still loves Ernest!!
Thank you. Never watched that full drive. Incredible
What a great vid! Denver loves Elway and Payton. What a great memories. Thanks Omaha Productions!
The next best thing to meeting Elway and asking him about The Drive. Then I'd ask him about The Fumble drive (also in Cleveland).
Watched it. Awesome
That was unbelievable to watch. Some Elway history an mannings appreciation for it
These are awesome
Best class of Twos topps Quarterback ❤🎉
The two greatest QBs in history right here
Peyton is really a student of the game and respects history.
OmaHa… that was a GREAT game! And I agree…bring back the old uniforms!
I love Elway and still are as a qbs ❤
Love it. Wish it went even deeper. I could watch every single play get broken down.
One of the best!
More more MORE! *MORE!*
Great Memories
this thumb nail is the most intimidating thing that i have seen in a long time
Him doing the drive with Marvin is dope
This guy is HIM love the way he carries himself
Legends
I dont care what anybody says, you cant measure "best QB" by Super Bowl wins alone. Elway had the strongest gun for an arm I've ever seen. He was the best at still finishing a play after getting flushed out of the pocket. He could run and scramble with the best of them, he was very smart at reading defenses. Look at the level of success he had with average teams, and then when he finally got a set of actual weapons, he won 2 Super Bowls in a row
Peyton Manning the best QB to ever play. He is the reason I watched 🏈.. I love and miss you Peyton!! Please keep making videos!
John Elway will always be my favorite QB....Even over Johnny Unitas, and did I ever love Johnny U. Manning is my 3rd favorite. Just being honest.
These series are awesome... I saw John elway when he was at Stanford come in and beat my beloved OU Sooners in 1980 on our home field
Thank you.
I love it!
That was really interesting. So many things had to go just right.
As I Browns fan I'm ashamed to say I kicked a hole in my wall at the end of this game !!!! Lol😮
The man most responsible for Elway's 4th qtr greatness was Dan Reeves. He was sooooooo conservative for 3 quarters and then told Elway: Go win it buddy... When Manning references "That's an Elway cross" (6:26) he is talking about how receivers had a cross shaped bruise from the football hitting their flesh. Now that is some arm strength.
This one strikes the heart of every Browns fan.😢
Great seeing Dan Reeves in the background.
What a great delivery he had! I'm so disappointed in fans that only want to quote completion percentage stats when it comes to clutch players like Elway. He was the Larry Bird of football for years. Kudos for making this documentary of a truly great moment in NFL history (except for Dog Pounders),
I’m the father of 3 sons. My oldest has Elway as his middle name. Long live John.
HAPPY 63TH BIRTHDAY JOHN ELWAY !!!!
That drive went 98.5 yards that ball was probably going 98.5 mph's as well
The most fascinating aspect of this story is, that Cleveland was actually in an AFC Championship game!!!
I'd hate to play that dirty in the mud. Props to him for still being able to.
Loved me some Elway, back in the day. Watching that 3rd and 17 reminded me just how strong this guy's arm was. Reminds me of how ridiculous it is to GOAT anyone from cross-era. This guy didn't have a "feet-first" surrender slide when running, and he WAS going to get absolutely whacked on every throw, without flag. Then again, there were leather helmuts. He was a quite good one, and you knew Denver was always going to be a tough opponent. Not a Broncos Fan (nor a hater), but definitely an Elway Fan. Also a Manning Fan, but mostly for the laughs. 😉
Elway is the best of all time, IMO. He could do it all.
@Wayne Noll that's laughable honestly bc you can have an opinion and be wrong bro. Some people think that Tim Tebow is a better QB than Peyton Manning. Let that sink in. And they can just say it's my opinion. I actually do real research, break down film, and watch hours of it. And I'm a stactician. A lot of people roll with false narratives, media propaganda, and get on social media to troll, spew nonsensical rhetoric, and give lazy analysis without any context whatsoever. I give facts and my opinions aren't just ignorant. They're very well thought out. That's the difference. *First 5 Years in the NFL* John Elway in 68 Career Starts: 14,835 Yards 85 Passing Touchdowns, 77 Interceptions with 53.6% Completion Percentage John elway from 1983-1992 54.7 comp% (below league AVG) 3,021 pass yards AVG per season 19/19 TD/INT 73.8 Passer rating (below league AVG) 5.10 ANY/A (barley above league AVG) -0.9 DVOA AVG This guy isn't a top 5 QB of all time
As a diehard broncos fan, I hate to say it but Mahomes is well on his way to bring the greatest ever… even if he doesn’t pass Brady, he’ll be top 5 when it’s all said and done
@@ThatsMrTaylor2u agreed
@@broderickcrawford8110uhh Elway is the GOAT
@@ThatsMrTaylor2ulmao no
Love it
How cool would it be to see Peyton sit down with Terry Bradshaw to discuss The Immaculate Reception?
🐐🐐’s
Montana and Elway are still my QB 🐐s
John Elway adding to the Cleveland Browns sports misery with "The Drive." And there's also "The Shot" by michael jordan.
Dick Enberg on the call….Oh My!
I feel like I owe both these guys money for all of the entertainment through the years.
And there will never be another 18
I remember a few years ago everyone was like "Fire Elway". Yeah well.... guess what he got us a SB winning team and best of all he got us a few good years with Miller, Manning, and Ware! He saw that hey... Offense isn't everything, and in no time he went "Defense Wins Championships" mentality.
Hearing John Elway breakdown the final play of the drive, makes me wonder why no television network ever signed him to be a color commentator?! I'm sure he had an opportunity in the past, but, I think he'd be a terrific commentator, as well as Peyton Manning.
This was painful to watch as a Browns fan ... after all these years, it still hurts.
After downing the kickoff on the two, and after getting the sack, it looked like the Browns were about to fulfill their destiny, didn't it? Crazy how that game turned out. I suppose it was similar to the way the Falcons lost to the Patriots, just inconceivable that anybody could lose something that was so well in hand until the final moments.
The 3rd and 18 frozen rope...the cross is probably still imbedded in Mark Jackson's chest. Unbelievable throw!
Anyone know the song title playing around the 4 minute mark?
