This is part eight in FanHouse's nine-part series examining memorable moments and players from past Super Bowl games played in Miami. Coming next: Colts defensive tackle Anthony McFarland, Super Bowl XLI.

SUPER BOWL XXXIII
Date: Jan. 31, 1999
Site: Pro Player Stadium
Score: Broncos 34, Falcons 19 (MVP: John Elway)

At the University of Illinois, Howard Griffith scored eight -- count 'em, eight -- touchdowns in a game, breaking a record held by Red Grange, the Illini legend who came to be known as the "Galloping Ghost."

Griffith was given a nickname, too, but not until he carved his niche in the pros. Well into his 11-year NFL career, he was known simply as the "Human Plow," and not because he punished would-be tacklers when he had the ball.

Because of what he did without it.

"I wasn't fast enough to be a tailback. I had to adjust my game," said Griffith, a ninth-round draft pick by Indianapolis who bounced around with four teams. "So I became a great blocker."

We're back with the third wild-card game from our Playoffs of the 2000s series. This game includes a team that's struggled to get back to the playoffs lately and a team that squeaked into this year's playoffs, won a road game in the first round, and ultimately fell to AFC champion Indianapolis.

We drew our playoff teams from JJ Cooper's NFL Standings for the Decade article that ran a few weeks back on this site. If you focus on recent history, you would probably imagine that San Diego would have came away as the winner in the AFC West, but think again. Denver was good enough in the early part of the decade that they posted eight more wins than the Chargers, despite San Diego's huge run at the end of this season, the last in the 2000s.

Mike Nolan and the Denver Broncos are "parting ways" according to numerous reports circulating both around the internet and on television -- if the verbiage sounds a little strange, it's because Nolan's departure is considered, to put thing in relationship parlance, a "mutual breakup."

Nolan's departure is pretty shocking, though, because the Broncos, despite their horrible second half, made significant strides in 2009 defensively. On the other hand, it's not that surprising, given Josh McDaniels penchant for not getting along with prominent members of the Broncos organization.

"I have great respect for Mike and wish him success in the future," McDaniels said of Nolan, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

San Francisco 49ers fans will only get to see seven regular-season home games in 2010, as the 49ers will "host" the Denver Broncos in London in October.

The Broncos announced on the team's web site that they will travel to London for a road game against the 49ers on Sunday, October 31.

Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said he's excited to be taking his team to Wembley Stadium:

(UPDATE: The Redskins have announced they will host a press conference to introduce Mike Shanahan on Wednesday at 2 PM ET.)

Mike Shanahan has reportedly agreed to a five-year contract to become the next head coach of the Washington Redskins.

Mike Klis of The Denver Post reports that the Redskins are making plans for Shanahan to sign his contract and announce the hiring Wednesday.

According to the report, Shanahan will make about $7 million a year with the Redskins. That's about what he was making with the Denver Broncos, and under the terms of his contract with the Broncos, he'll still be paid about $3.5 million a year for the next two years from Denver owner Pat Bowlen while also being paid by the Redskins.

The 57-year-old Shanahan has always been Redskins owner Dan Snyder's top choice, with reports linking him to the team long before Jim Zorn was officially fired as head coach this week. Shanahan has a 154-103 record as an NFL head coach, and he won two Super Bowls with the Broncos.

After seven weeks, the Denver Broncos were the toast of the NFL. They were watching Week 7 from home, on their bye week, with a 6-0 record. They had a new head coach (Josh McDaniels) and new quarterback (Kyle Orton). Because of the way things were conducted in the offseason, they were seriously maligned at every turn before the season started -- which had to have made their 6-0 start even more satisfying.

Fast-forward to Sunday, and you have pretty much the same thing Denver fans witnessed last season. The Broncos had blown a significant division lead. This time around they actually blew a huge Wild Card lead as well. In their final 10 games, the Broncos won just two. They lost to the 4-12 Redskins, the 5-11 Raiders and the 4-12 Chiefs. The latter two were at home. The Chiefs loss was an embarrassing 44-24 bloodbath Sunday.

Judging from the way many Broncos fans talk about Jay Cutler, they must have thought they were watching him again on Sunday. Orton lit up the stat sheet to the tune of a whopping 431 yards passing (easily a career high, and he'd only previously topped 300 yards twice), but he also threw three interceptions. Two of them were taken all the way back for touchdowns by the Chiefs defense.

Two days after Denver wide receiver Brandon Marshall left practice with a slight hamstring injury, Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels announced Marshall would not play in Sunday's game against Kansas City.

"It will be a coaching decision. There's a number of factors that go into that," McDaniels said Friday morning, according to the Denver Post. He then went on to criticize Marshall for not practicing after suffering his injury.

"There's a lot of players that play with things that are more difficult to play with than what he has."

Denver can technically still claim a playoff spot with a loss Sunday, but the likely reality is that the Broncos need a Week 17 win at home over the Chiefs to have any shot at the postseason. Wednesday's news that wide receiver Brandon Marshall left practice with a leg injury could make Denver's job a little harder. .

According to CBS4 in Denver, Marshall came up hobbling after running a route early in the Broncos' workout and did not return to the field. The report diagnosed Marshall's ailment as a strained right hamstring. Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post wrote on Twitter that it "looked pretty bad for Brandon."

The Broncos later listed Marshall on their injury report as being limited in practice. NFL.com reported that Marshall is expected to play Sunday, citing a team source.

Balancing team goals with individual achievement has been tricky for Denver Broncos linebacker/defensive end Elvis Dumervil. Moving from a hand-down end in a 4-3 defense to a stand-up outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense has been tough, too, he says.

So, how has he made it look so easy?

Dumervil leads the league in sacks with 17, which is already his team's single-season record. He needs six against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday to break Michael Strahan's NFL record of 22 1/2 in a season. Doubt Dumervil can do it?

He had six sacks in one game as a University of Louisville senior. His single-game high this season is four in Week 2 versus the Cleveland Browns. For a guy who made 78 sacks in high school, 20 as a college senior and 43 thus far in four pro seasons, Dumervil has proven that doubters make him more dangerous.
