Digging into the SI vault
By Lindsay Jones
Just got a text from a Broncos Super Fan (who just so happens to be my former boss), with a eerie fun fact about the Broncos being on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Turns out, the Broncos were on the cover 25 years ago this week, on Oct. 8, 1984, with the headline “The Broncos Bust Out.”
Here’s the cover, featuring Sammy Winder.
Compare that to this week’s cover, featuring Daniel Graham. Pretty crazy, no?
Those 1984 Broncos won six consecutive games after the issue came out, finished 13-3 and won the AFC West (but lost in the divisional round of the playoffs.)
