Reason #7 - Steve Atwater never let up

I’m not one of those fans who can remember single plays in a particular game of a distant season - or often even a recent one - with any detail that is deserving of the play itself.

Obviously I remember those iconic plays that every Broncos fan remembers because they were in such monumental games or at monumental moments, they could not be forgotten.

Plays like:

Mark Jackson’s culminating TD catch in Elway’s magnificent “Drive” to tie the game for the 1986 AFC Championship;

Terrell Davis’ “decoy” run to set up a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl 32;

Al Wilson’s hit on Tyrone Wheatley in the “Snow Game” in 2004;

Ed McCaffrey’s “block” - followed by an even greater “taunt” - in SB32;

Steve Atwater’s hit on Christian Okoye.
