9:33 pm
a crowd immediately exited the bars, upon the win, and proceeded to engage in some joviality in the streets. >> reporter: absolutely. i think other than outside levi stadium, we could be in the most excited area in the city of denver. i want to show you in the intersection of 20th and market, there are thousands of people that came out of the area bars, right here, and celebrating the win, luckily right now, we're just seeing people dancing, jumping around, a little shoving, but when you're in a crowd this big, you can imagine that's what you have to do to get through. but we have dozens of denver police officers that have lined outside the intersection. we're just standing back, leg celebrations continue, and we haven't seen any sort of violence. earlier this afternoon, around halftime, we did see about five or six arrests take place, but since this has wrapped up, right now, we're seeing a lot of good celebrations. and that's what denver police
9:34 pm
they had the campaign, don't be a donkey so right now, things are looking good. guys. >> denver police have been saying they are trying to kind of disperse some of the crowds in the downtown area. the streets. as they did, back in '99. give people a place to go, if they want to come out in the streets, remove anything that might be tempting, like vehicles, on dumpsters, and just let them do what they want to do, and there we're seeing people who are celebrating the team's victory. >> and that's whee silencely what you want to see. we hope the things stay just that quiet throughout the evening. the party is just getting started in santa clara, at the broncos team hotel where a feast has been prepared for the players, staff members, family,
9:35 pm
the team's arrival. >> reporter: some of my friends just showed up to the party, can you see them? you have the world championship in your town, yeah. so as you can tell, a bunch of buses came into the team hotel, bringing fans and family members, people thrilled, been a long day, but they are ready for a lot of hours to celebrate. it has been so much fun to see everything file back from the stadium, and have a great time. guys. this is -- you guys were all inside the game. your very first super bowl, tell moment. >> my favorite moment was in the first quarter where von miller came up and sacked cam newton,
9:36 pm

9:38 pm
i shared that with him. he's, you know, he's -- he'll be back in this game. i wished him luck. josh norman came up, and couldn't have been nicer, and wanted me to sends him a jersey. he's a great guy. they have some good players. you appreciate the conversations you have with your own teammates, your own coaches, but also from the other players and it was a special night. got a chance to see marvin harrison before the game. i told him to give me one post route and one fade route, i didn't get to see coach dungy personally, but i texted with him last night. and being at the coin toss, joe montana, the rice, plunkett, who
9:39 pm
i've been in the coin tosses before and sims, couple years ago, dan marino, mrs. hunt at the first one. that's all part of it. and i take it all in. i was focused on the game, but i took it all in tonight. i'm glad i had a chance to do it. >> when you came here four years ago, you were all in. >> yep. >> reporter: does if mean something you're the only quarterback to have super bowls with multiple teams? >> yes, i'm proud, and grateful for that. you know, i had a chance to win a championship with two separate organizations, and there's a bond you have with the teammates, and those coaches. and i found out a coach a receiver going into the hall of
9:40 pm
i saw jeff saturday on the sidelines, but so -- you always have that bond with all of guys you played with, but especially the ones you had a chance 20 win a championship with. i'll be grateful for this bond i have with this bunch because no matter what happens with me or anybody, this group, these coaches, these players -- i'm very, very grateful tore a part of it, and i do not take it for granted by any means we have to go in 15 minutes. >> i think that's the first time i've seen him talk in the locker room all this year. of course, the players don't have to talk in the locker room, a number of them are willing to o'brien reporters after a win --
9:41 pm
a loss. they don't have to do that. he tends to go to the podium. >> it was nice, and you could tell going into the game how much pressure he was feeling. he was very serious, you saw the camera in the locker room before the game started. and you saw him silting in a folding chicago with his -- chair with his face facing a locker, and head bowed, getting that energy focused in. and i don't think wed's seen that -- we had seen. victoria sanchez is at federal and speer. >> reporter: my gosh, guys, it is so loud! there are, i'm not exaggerating, thousands of fans that are going
9:42 pm
waving their flags, saying broncos are number one. we have one right here. this is unbelievable. we're going to show you what it looks like going down federal. this is absolutely crazy. people are out of their cars, which we don't recommend, this is not legal, but this is a festive time. we'll be around here, seeing how many more people are going to be. they are saying they are so excited the broncos took super bowl 50. >> celebratory crowds in the streets, on their feet, and now the traffic is backed up. >> demaryius thomas had his struggles, and made some big plays. >> they've been doing it a long time, and they wanted one, and
9:43 pm
some of the guys got emotional -- able to go out and get the win. it would have been tough to be 0-2 in the super bowl, but 1-1, i'll take it. you know, i've been dreaming about to having my mother at a game and see me play. >> did you have a chance to talk to her? >> yeah. >> what did she say? >> she's happy, she didn't say much. she's just happy. >> i bet you can't wait to let her see that trophy. >> of course not. she'll be proud. that's the major thing, she just wants to see me. she adopt care about the trove -- doesn't care about the trophy. >> i talked to you the other day, how much sweeter is this -- >> it's way better.
9:44 pm
didn't have the win. of course, i had one catch, but with the win, that's what matters. teams play good in the post season, and try to get that level. >> is this feeling what you expected to be? >> i haven't got that feel quite yet. but i see gees celebrating. -- guys celebrating. >> what do you say about the number one defense? >> i can't say much. i knew they would be great. i knew they were going to step up against the panthers. >> congratulations. >> glad that we got to look at demaryius thomas's full suit. i misspoke when we went to listen to him. floridas. -- plays. he had one catch. >> are you complaining?

9:46 pm
are we talking about fireworks on the ground? or somebody shooting something in the air? >> reporter: yes, fireworks, people are shooting fireworks from the crowd into the air. you can imagine that captain be too safe -- can't be too safe. but we've seep 5-10 go off. >> so like bottle rockets? or -- >> yeah, that's astonishingly dumb. >> reporter: this game was won before it started. it was all about the uniform. the broncos wore white, so now the super bowl champs in 11 of the last 12 years have won wearing white. the best time to talk to the players is not now, not after they have cooled down in the locker room, but after they win the championship, we talked to a couple soon after that gun sounded.
9:47 pm
>> it feels good, it feels good champion. >> i don't know what to say. i've been in awe. i am in awe. feels so good. >> is this a dream come true? how is the reality. >> super dream, man. i'm going to enjoy it. >> how does it feel? you came to denver, you wanted to win the championship. >> that's why we came, we had a chip on our shoulder, and we got the job done. >> i think the 1985 teams just -- >> four turnovers leading to 15 points. >> we wanted to win the turn over battle, and we did. and that's what got us a win. >> people were talking how cam couldn't be stopped. >> he got stopped. >> this defense is special. we have talent across the board.
