After finding himself on the right end of “The Drive” in 1986 and “The Fumble” in 1987, John Elway wasn’t interested in any taglines and last-second dramatics during Denver’s third AFC Championship tango in four seasons against Cleveland. Still in search of his first-ever Super Bowl ring, the Broncos’ superstar stepped onto Jan. 14, 1990’s stage with purpose, lasering touchdowns across the field to create Denver’s early-game lead. Pinpoint throughout, Elway secured his spot in Super Bowl XXIV through a 37-21 win, overwhelming the Browns by going 20-of-36 for 385 yards, three touchdowns, and a 120.7 passer rating, alongside five carries for 39 yards.
