The Drive — John Elway led the most famous comeback in NFL Championship history in 1987, before winning back-to-back Super Bowls to close a brilliant 16-year career.
John Elway is one of the most iconic quarterbacks in NFL history. "The Drive" — his 98-yard game-tying drive in the final minutes of the 1987 AFC Championship game — is the most celebrated comeback in playoff history. He finished his career with back-to-back Super Bowl wins (XXXII and XXXIII) after 13 years of falling short. His combination of arm strength, mobility and competitive will set the template for the modern dual-threat quarterback.
"The Drive" in January 1987 — a 98-yard march in the final minutes at -10°F — is the single most iconic drive in NFL Championship history.
