If you combined every Broncos QB’s Super Bowl performances, you’d have a QB on pace for one of the worst regular seasons in NFL history
I’m well aware of how…we’ll say “lackluster” some of our performances have been in the Super Bowl, but I wanted to see just how bad they were because I’m a glutton for punishment. Turns out, they’re not just bad, they’re horrific.
First of all, here are the individual numbers for each game:
Super Bowl XII
- Craig Morton: 4/15 for 39 yards, 0 TDs, 4 INTs
- Norris Weese: 4/10 for 22 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INT, 1 fumble (1 fumble lost)
Super Bowl XXI
- John Elway: 22/37 for 304 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 1 rushing TD, 1 fumble
Super Bowl XXII
- John Elway: 14/38 for 257 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs
- Steve Sewell: 1/1 for 23 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT
Super Bowl XXIV
- John Elway: 10/26 for 108 yards, 0 TD, 2 INTs, 1 rushing TD, 1 rushing TD, 2 fumbles (2 fumbles lost)
- Gary Kubiak: 1/3 for 28 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT
Super Bowl XXXII
- John Elway: 12/23 for 123 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 1 rushing TD
Super Bowl XXXIII
- John Elway: 18/29 for 336 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 1 rushing TD
Super Bowl XLVIII
- Peyton Manning: 34/49 for 280 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs, 1 fumble (1 fumble lost)
Super Bowl 50
- Peyton Manning: 13/23 for 141 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 2 fumbles (1 fumble lost)
It’s not pretty, but it actually looks even worse when you combine them and view them as 1 quarterback who’s 8 games into a season:
133/253 for 1,661 yards, 4 TDs, 15 INTs, 4 rushing TDs, 7 Fs (5 FL)
In a 17-game season, that would be on pace for:
283/538 (52.6% comp pct.)
3,530 yards
9 TDs and 32 INTs
9 rushing TDs
15 fumbles (11 fumbles lost)
54.1 passer rating
