Denver has seen countless snowstorms and nearly as many unusual Denver Broncos football games. However, on October 15, 1984 the old Mile High Stadium in Denver saw an unusual football game as well as a blizzard on that same Monday night.
Broncos fans weren’t too concerned with the weather as they were simply looking forward to their team playing on Monday Night Football’s 200th telecast before a nationally televised audience.
That afternoon snow had started to fall and by the time the Broncos and Packers took to the field, the temperature was only 29 degrees.
The snow was coming down so hard players were hard to pick out on television and the winds were whipping things into what would be known in Broncos lore as the ‘Bronco Blizzard.’
Sammy Winder, the Bronco "three yards and a cloud of dust" running back carried the ball for one yard and slid for another two or three. It was that kind of game.
62,546 hardy fans braved the weather to watch their team beat the Packers 17 – 14 in a driving snow.
