description

A year after being made the top pick in the 1983 NFL Draft, Broncos quarterback John Elway truly began to break out in the latter stages of the 1984 NFL Season. In this Week 12 matchup between Denver and the Vikings, Elway completed 84% of his passes while throwing five touchdown passes, accumulating 218 yards along the way. The five touchdown tosses would wind up as his career-high for a single-game, as he led Denver to a 42-21 win over Minnesota on Nov. 18, 1984.
