We have a winner. The voters and I agree that The Helicopter is the Denver Broncos' most memorable play.
John Elway played quarterback for 16 seasons for the Broncos, started five Super Bowls, and was the winningest starting quarterback in NFL history when he retired following the 1998 season. He went 148-82-1 with 47 game-winning or game-saving drives in the fourth quarter or overtime.
For many, he will always be the face of franchise, now as the team’s top football decision-maker.

Which is the most memorable play in Broncos' history?

John Elway dives for 8-yard gain, Packers' LeRoy Butler helicopters him
6%
Tom Jackson's 73-yard INT TD return in Week 11 secures win, homefield advantage
14%
John Elway-Shannon Sharpe for 18 yards on 3rd-and-6 secures '97 AFC title, Elway's first Super Bowl trip
Discuss (Total votes: 38,649)
And if Elway says his put-it-all-on-the-line dive for a first down in the Super Bowl is the favorite play of his career, as he has stated on several occasions, it’s probably worth a long look for any list, and it sits at the top of this one.
