The real coming out party and the first trademark Eli comeback. I was there - still remember the roar of the stadium as Toomer grabbed the winner, and we still bust one friend for leaving early.

It absolutely should be in any highlight video or tri Ute video. It was the first time I said wow, we may have something with Eli. He is clutch. I too was at the game, went nuts and hugged the random guy in front of me as we jumped around screaming and yelling. For me, it was the moment I knew Eli had that poise and no matter the situation would be able to stay focused. It took ALOT of composure to complete that drive to win
Same - was at that game in the 3rd row 40 yard line, where it all went down.
All I remember, was seeing Strahan on the sidelines going bonkers, after that catch. The fans around me were going absolutely nuts.
Knew Eli was a keeper after that.
100%
Eli shoved their perfect record (13-0?) right up his ass. I hated that bitch. He actually spit in another player's face during a MNF game! Turned out (from other stories) Romanowski was a big pussy in real life, loaded to the max with steroids.
Toomer made a great catch!
A total stud QB, with warts yes, but he was great.
I remember when we were down and the game looked lost and I thought well if this happens and that happens and this happens we have a chance. Half fooling myself at the time. And sure enough all the things I thought needed to happen, happened, culminating in the Eli to Toomer for the win.
Great day...

Umm... yeah. You're confusing the 2005 game with the 1998 game.
1. Broncos were 5-1 coming into the Meadowlands in 2005. They lost in Week 1. The 1998 Broncos were 13-0.
2. Eli was the QB in the 2005 game. Kent Graham was the QB in 1998.
3. Bill Romanowski retired in 2003. His last year in Denver was 2001.
4. However, Toomer made the game-winning catch in both games.
He just kept drifting and drifting back. I didn't think there was any way he'd find a window in the endzone the way the play was carrying him. But sure enough.. he found Amani back there and the crowd erupted.
It's a bummer to see it end this way for him, but I remember how exciting every game was just because of Eli when he first started out. Even if we weren't good - I wanted to watch every snap to see him play and see him develop.
Knowing we'll have that with Jones the rest of the way will be fun. There will be high moments, there will be times he struggles... but hopefully it's the dawn of a new era.
It was a great time.

Romonowski was a pussy? Based on what insane criteria? Guy was an animal.
I remember Broncos calling Eli’s dagger a lucky pass. LOL!
