These mid-80s Bengal games are kind of interesting to see a mix of guys who played in the ‘81 Super Bowl and guys who played in the ‘88 Super Bowl. I think there’s only seven guys who were on the roster for both, so this lineup is kind of halfway along in the evolution from one to the other

[@robsmith961]

Interesting point. Do you know who those seven players were?

[@bradoneil536]

It would be: Anthony Munoz (OT), Max Montoya (OG), Cris Collinsworth (WR), Eddie Edwards (DE), Reggie Williams (LB), Jim Breech (K), and Turk Schonert (backup QB).

Don criqui is the best

55:41 50 yards completion by Elway flat footed.

I am a Bengals fan and it is obvious at least in 1984 that Elway can do things that no way can Kenny Anderson

It was the game where Cincinnati Bengals Head Coach Sam Wyche was wired for sound by NFL Films using a wireless microphone.

49:29 3rd and 9 Elway escapes a sack then fire a 45+ yards rope to score.

Can someone tell me why there's a baseball field in Denver in 1984?

[@aarondersnah863]

Denver Zephyrs, a Class AAA minor league baseball team, played at Mile High Stadium.

[@Fireyninjadog]

​​@aarondersnah863 fun fact: mile high was originally named bears stadium because the minor league baseball team was named the bears

[@dxrocks06]

Baseball diamond in Denver? The Rockies weren't around until 1993. Who played there besides the Denver Broncos?
