Editing Super Bowl XXXII (section)

===Post-game===
During the post-game victory celebration, Broncos owner [[Pat Bowlen]] held the [[Vince Lombardi Trophy]] aloft and said, "this one's for John," saluting Elway's successful completion of his long quest for a Super Bowl victory.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.profootballhof.com/story/2009/10/9/super-bowl-memories-this-ones-for-john/ | title = Super Bowl Memories: This one's for John! | access-date = January 10, 2012 | publisher = Pro Football Hall of Fame | url-status=dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120609134401/http://www.profootballhof.com/story/2009/10/9/super-bowl-memories-this-ones-for-john/ | archive-date = June 9, 2012 | df = mdy-all }}</ref> Eighteen years later, after the Broncos won [[Super Bowl 50]], Elway, now the general manager for the team, would salute Bowlen, who had been diagnosed the year before with [[Alzheimer's disease]], in the same fashion by raising the trophy and exclaiming "this one's for Pat."<ref>{{cite web|title=18 Years Later, John Elway Declares 'This One's For Pat'|url=https://denver.cbslocal.com/2016/02/07/18-years-later-john-elway-declares-this-ones-for-pat/|publisher=[[CBSSports.com|Denver CBSSports]]|access-date=March 5, 2019|date=February 7, 2016}}</ref>

Denver's offensive performance had been so consistent that except for two penalties and Elway's kneel-downs to end each half, the Broncos did not lose yardage on any play from scrimmage.  Green Bay's [[Reggie White]], [[Gilbert Brown]], [[LeRoy Butler]] and others were unable to register a sack against the Broncos' front line.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/super/superbowl-xxxii-plays.htm/ | title = USA Today Super Bowl XXXII Play by Play}}</ref>  Elway completed 12 out of 22 passes for 123 yards, with 1 interception. He became the sixth player to score touchdowns in three different Super Bowls, joining [[Lynn Swann]], [[Franco Harris]], [[Thurman Thomas]], [[Jerry Rice]], and [[Emmitt Smith]].  He was also the Broncos' second-leading rusher behind [[Terrell Davis]], with 17 yards and a touchdown on 5 carries. Davis became the only player to rush for three touchdowns in a Super Bowl, and the only non-San Francisco 49er to score three in a Super Bowl - joining [[Roger Craig (American football)|Roger Craig]], [[Jerry Rice]] (twice), and [[Ricky Watters]] in the feat.  Only New England running back [[James White (running back)|James White]] has matched this achievement since, in [[Super Bowl LI]]. Davis's three touchdowns in this Super Bowl gave him a total of 48 points (8 touchdowns) during the postseason, an NFL record.

Denver's defense limited Green Bay to only 10 points in the second half, despite Green Bay having nine possessions during it.  The Packers' first four possessions of the second half were all 3-and-out's.  Their fifth possession of the second half resulted in a lost fumble by their kick return team, the sixth possession resulted in an 85-yard drive and a touchdown, the seventh ended in four plays and a punt, the eighth resulted in another 3-and-out, and the ninth and final possession ended on a fourth down stop.

Both Freeman and Favre had outstanding performances for the second Super Bowl game in a row. Favre completed 25 out of 42 passes for 256 yards and 3 touchdowns, with 1 interception. Freeman caught 9 passes for 126 yards and 2 touchdowns, and also gained another 104 yards on 6 kickoff returns, giving him 230 total yards, the third highest total in Super Bowl history. Freeman also tied himself for second all-time in touchdown catches in Super Bowls with three, joining [[Lynn Swann]], [[John Stallworth]], and [[Cliff Branch]], trailing only Rice's eight. He also became just the third player to have at least 100 yards receiving in back-to-back Super Bowls, joining Rice and Stallworth. Levens was Green Bay's leading rusher with 90 yards, and was their second-leading receiver with 56 yards on 6 receptions.

Denver, which had been 0-4 in Super Bowls, became was the first team with even a previous 0–2 record to win a Championship. The Broncos' victory snapped the NFC's 13-game winning streak in the Super Bowl, which traced back to the [[1983 Los Angeles Raiders season|Los Angeles Raiders]] victory over the [[1983 Washington Redskins season|Washington Redskins]] in [[Super Bowl XVIII]]. Denver also became the first team to score on four 1-yard touchdown runs in a Super Bowl. The Packers became the third defending Super Bowl champion to lose, joining the [[Dallas Cowboys]] ([[1977 Dallas Cowboys season|1977]]–[[1978 Dallas Cowboys season|78]]: won [[Super Bowl XII]], lost [[Super Bowl XIII]]) and the Washington Redskins ([[1982 Washington Redskins season|1982]]–[[1983 Washington Redskins season|83]]: won [[Super Bowl XVII]], lost [[Super Bowl XVIII]]), and would be later joined by the [[Seattle Seahawks]] ([[2013 Seattle Seahawks season|2013]]–[[2014 Seattle Seahawks season|14]]: won [[Super Bowl XLVIII]], lost [[Super Bowl XLIX]]), the [[New England Patriots]] ([[2016 New England Patriots season|2016]]–[[2017 New England Patriots season|17]]: won [[Super Bowl LI]], lost [[Super Bowl LII]]) and the [[Kansas City Chiefs]] ([[2019 Kansas City Chiefs season|2019]]-[[2020 Kansas City Chiefs season|20]]: won [[Super Bowl LIV]], lost [[Super Bowl LV]]).
