elway's ability to improvise on the fly, in part, helped denver to make it through the playoffs, narrowly defeating the new england patriots 22–17, and the cleveland browns 23–20, in the afc championship game. the afc championship game against the browns was particularly significant because elway displayed why many nfl experts thought super bowl xxi would be the first of many super bowls for him. in what became known as "the drive", the broncos started from their own 2-yard line, trailing 20–13, with 5:32 left to play. but in 15 plays, elway led denver 98 yards for a game-tying touchdown pass with 39 seconds left. the broncos then won in overtime after elway led them 60 yards in 9 plays to set up kicker rich karlis' game-winning field goal.
