Monday Night Football.
Need I say more?
Of course not. Because when a single football play has its own celebrated anniversary, you already know it was a special play.
And if you’re any kind of Broncos fan - whether you watched it live or not - you know this play.
It’s the play that could be used in every textbook to demonstrate Newton’s first law of motion: Every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force - aka, Steve Atwater.
