As if the 2011 season wasn’t incredible enough, this game — and more specifically, this play — will stand the test of time. I know for myself, this is the one play in team history I’ve watched more than any other — you just can’t get enough.

And even almost nine years later, it still brings out all the feels.

The Broncos were an 8-8 team and the Steelers were the defending AFC champion. The Broncos also had a quarterback who “couldn’t throw.”

Tebow proceeded to pass for 316 yards on the day including this 80-yard touchdown pass in overtime to Thomas for the game-winning score in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

What.A.Moment.

This is the obvious choice for the No. 1 spot on the list, as nothing tops winning the Super Bowl.

The Broncos were embarrassed in the Super Bowl just two years prior by the Seattle Seahawks in a game that many felt they would win. Super Bowl 50 was the game where few gave them a chance.

The Broncos were heavy underdogs against the 15-1 Carolina Panthers but a dominant defensive performance, led by eventual Super Bowl MVP Von Miller, led to the team hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for the third time in team history.
