When the Broncos won their first Super Bowl at the end of the 1997 season, late Owner Pat Bowlen lifted the Lombardi Trophy into the air and declared, "This one's for John!" A year later, Bowlen was back up on the stage and said, "This one's for you!" Then, nearly two decades later, Elway had the chance to return the favor. After the Broncos won Super Bowl 50, Elway dedicated the win to Bowlen, who at the time was battling Alzheimer's. "This one's for Pat!" he shouted. It was an emotional ending to a dominant performance.
