Finale
Broncos 38, 49ers 9
In Mile High Stadium's likely finale, Denver's maligned defense brought back memories of the Orange Crush with a dominating effort. The offense was back to churning out points at its accustomed pace after being held scoreless a week before. And the Broncos completed their best-ever second half to a season with 7-1 record after a 38-9 pounding of San Francisco.
One last salute It was the happiest funeral anybody ever saw. Mile High Stadium, 1948-2000. Rest in rubbled peace.

More than 50 Broncos, past and present, gathered under a big, white tent Saturday before the final regular-season game at Mile High Stadium.
