Editing Super Bowl XXXII (section)

===First quarter===
Packers wide receiver [[Antonio Freeman]] returned the opening kickoff 19 yards to the Green Bay 24-yard line. On 3rd-and-9, quarterback [[Brett Favre]] completed a 13-yard pass to Freeman. Then running back [[Dorsey Levens]] rushed for 27 yards on three consecutive plays, advancing the ball to the Denver 35-yard line. Favre capped the drive with two completions to Freeman, a 13-yard gain followed by a 22-yard touchdown strike, giving the Packers a 7–0 lead. The touchdown-scoring drive on the opening kickoff was only the third in Super Bowl history, joining the [[1973 Miami Dolphins season|Miami Dolphins]] in [[Super Bowl VIII]] and the [[1994 San Francisco 49ers season|San Francisco 49ers]] in [[Super Bowl XXIX]]).

The Broncos responded with a 10-play, 58-yard drive, ignited by running back [[Vaughn Hebron]] returning the kickoff 32 yards to the Denver 42-yard line. Denver then drove to the Green Bay 46-yard line. On 3rd-and-10, a holding penalty on Packers cornerback [[Doug Evans (American football)|Doug Evans]] nullified quarterback [[John Elway]]'s incomplete pass to wide receiver [[Willie Green (American football)|Willie Green]] and gave the Broncos a new set of downs down. On the next play, running back [[Terrell Davis]] reeled off his longest run of the game, a 27-yard gain to the Green Bay 14. After a 2-yard run by Davis, Elway scrambled 10 yards to set up 1st-and-goal at the 2-yard line. Two plays later Davis scored a 1-yard touchdown run to tie the game.

On the second play of the Packers' next possession, Broncos safety [[Tyrone Braxton]] intercepted a pass from Favre at the Green Bay 45-yard line.  Davis ran for 16 yards on Denver's first play, bringing the ball to the 29.  A combination of short passing and 10 yards gained on three more rushes by Davis (who was briefly taken out of the game during the drive because the onset of a [[migraine]] headache caused by an unintentional trip by defensive tackle [[Santana Dotson]], which had severely impaired his vision) brought the ball to the Green Bay 1 yard line as the 1st quarter expired.
