Super Bowl XXXIII was played against the Denver Broncos and the Atlanta Falcons at Pro Player Stadium in Miami, FL on Jan. 31, 1999. The Broncos were defending world champions and the Falcons were coming off of a big upset win over the 15-1 Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game.
The Broncos got on the board first with a score when John Elway found a wide open Rod Smith for an 80 yard score. By the second quarter, the Broncos had a 17-3 lead.
In their first Super Bowl appearance, the Falcons were no match for the Broncos. After losing four Super Bowls, Elway won his second consecutive Super Bowl after the Broncos beat the Falcons 34-19.
Along with throwing for 336 yards and one touchdown, Elway also rushed for a touchdown.
