Saw Little In My First Bronco Game at Mile High
My first Bronco game live at Mile High, I saw Floyd Little rush for two touchdowns, never give up…and the Broncos lost. Looking back through the records, I believe it was in 1972 against the Minnesota Vikings. 44 became my favorite number from that day forward. Most assuredly he deserves to be in the HOF.
