The Denver Broncos went on the road to Seattle and lost a 1983 wild-card playoff game 31-7. There was a rookie quarterback named John Elway who played that day.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix helped lead his team to a 41-32 victory over the Cleveland Browns in the rookie's first ever "Monday Night Football" game on Dec. 2, and it turns out he did so through an injury and a lot of pain.
