Denver was suppose to be the favorites but having John Elway as a one man show and that of no defense, really the Redskins wanted it more and Doug Williams became the first African American QB to win a SB and shut up his naysayers. 35 Points in the second quarer that is something to be never been repeated since and the way it goes, it will never be.
It is the first game for the MNF trio of Frank Gifford, Al Michaels, Dan Dierdorf given the show 11-year run and two other SB's XXV and XXIX there. As really Frank became the straight man and host while Al then known as an MLB announcer has become known for football, and Dan so underrated as an analyst but really shined here
Frank has since passed away in 2015, in his latter years took a backseat to his much more famous wife, Kathie Lee. Dan does Michigan his alma matter, college football games after a brief retirement to go back to CBS after being left go by ABC in 1998, stayed there from 1999-2014 for CBS and Al is currently on Sunday Night Football.
But still the best MNF trio I grew up with and still miss.
