Broncos’ backs are willing to carry the load in Super Bowl

SAN FRANCISCO — As a running back for Denver Broncos teams that featured a Hall of Fame-bound quarterback, Terrell Davis adopted a specific attitude for Super Bowls.

“You have to believe that this game and everything around it relies, or is based, on your performance,” Davis said. “I was like, ‘You know what? It’s unique. I have a chance to do something where the game is going to be on me. If I play well, we’re going to win.’ ”

Davis starred in Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII and helped Broncos quarterback John Elway finish his career with two championships.
