[ laughter ] >> you already won, man. >> look, look, this is a huge discovery. no one thought it would happen. no one thought we would keep the number one offense -- [ laughter ] >> but it happened and it is amazing. discovery proves that albert einstein's theory equals mvp. >> so good. one week ago tonight. >> i know. >> i know. i know.

heart warming story on this valentine's day. a boy in utah wanted to make sure every girl in his high school felt appreciated so he bought flowers for every girl in the school. he showed up on thursday with 900 carnations. and he didn't do this to win a valentine. he already has a girlfriend. >> it is more about kindness. just more trying to better society. >> he is mine. [ laughter ] >> sorry. he is taken. >> you can imagine it wasn't a cheap gesture either at 50 cents a flower. he saved up money over the past

it brought him a huge wave of thanks from the girls. >> so nice. >> 9 on of them. >> awesome -- 900 of them. >> awesome. >> solid girlfriend and 900 backups. 9news continues with broncos tonight. one-on-one with john elway and coach as they reflect on super bowl 50.

one, two, three. >> super bowl 50 is underway. >> on the board first. >> he is hit and sacked. the ball is free. touchdown denver. >> intercepted. ball knocked out of his hands. denver has got it. touchdown denver. >> the denver broncos are world champions. they have just won super bowl 50. >> thank you for staying up late for broncos tonight. our final show of the 2015-2016 season and what a season it was.

in 2011 the broncos have won 5 straight division championships, two afc championships championships and one super bowl championship. super bowl 50. here is mike klis with mr. elway. >> but this one is for pat. >> reporter: [ inaudible question ] nothing beats playing. >> you know, this is -- as satisfying but in a different way. you try help put the puzzle together and put people in the right position to be successful and get as many good football players we can with the right coaches. it is satisfying. and even though you are not vonned physically -- involved physically the mental side is greater because of getting everybody to work together. i am thrilled for it. i mean, this is what he wants. dreams about.

>> reporter: i think people forget the depths of where you came from 5 years ago. you remember what this team had then when it was 4-12? >> yeah. it was at its lowest point. pat owned it. everybody was down. struggling. coming off a 4-12 season. i mean, it was -- we had a long way to go but we had the right people. there were a lot of good people here. matt russell done a tremendous job. we knew what the goal was. >> reporter: i remember when you came, people wondered if you would watch film of a backup guard, the other thought was if you won this thing you would ride off into the sun. where is your mind set at right now now that you have reached the top?

that is the goal. is to try to get better. we have a good football team right now. try to hold what we have together with the best we have and try to get better. i think that, you know, we did that last year, gary has been tremendous. you know, big, big reason why we won a championship. the culture and the mind set. you know, it is a lot of work. i was very fortunate to play for a -- you know, raised by a coach's son. knew what it takes to be able to be successful. the amount of time it takes to be successful in this business. i knew i was committing to that time. i knew i wanted to be good at it. >> reporter: 2016, where do you think your priorities are, time to address offense -- >> number one is our free agents that we have.

these guys and draft right and keep our guys. you know, it started off with, you know, getting wolf done, you know, earlier this year. and so to continue to keep our guys, you know, trying to hold this whole thing together. number two, we have the draft, this year. we have to be -- again, we can't miss on drafts. it is important to be good in the draft again and then free agency, if we could add different things. we will do that too. i am excited about where we can go. the fact, you know, with the resources they give us, that opportunity is there to keep hopefully everybody.

>> the combine is around the corner. >> great culture in our locker room. guys fight for each other. guys want to win for each other. [ music ] >> reporter: how hard was it to juggle 17 and 18 this season? we asked the head coach about the quarterbacks coming up next. >> it was tough but it was

everyone hikes a party -- likes a party, especially when everyone shows up. an over flow crowd for the over due parade for the streets of denver. broncos fans were everywhere. hanging out of windows. on lamp posts.

nothing beats a super bowl celebration. >> yeah. yeah. yeah. a lot of memories. pictures and stuff. never forget this. >> the players said the ultimate dream is hosting the all -- hosting the lombardi trophy and 1 million fans watching is pretty special as well. >> it felt so good. everybody is so friendly. giving the city what it deserves. a championship, man. >> we waved. i stand up. i saluted. i did everything i could possibly do. >> i was not expecting that many people. they said a million people. >> super special, man. that is what we play for, man.

february and to have this parade, man. that is what we do the whole season for, man. >> so much fun. let's do it again next season and why not with most of the defense coming back the broncos will be among the teams to beat again. a good denver head coaching debut for gary kubiak. [ music ] >> i know when you went to houston you would have loved to win a super bowl championship for them but how special is it to do it here, a place to bring you back -- >> funny how life works. amazing. i spent so much time here and i have got two beautiful rings from this place that i will have with me my whole life. i get a second chance as head coach and now a third one.

just -- you know, i think it hits me more and more each day. just sitting here talking to you, something i will cherish. >> reporter: how does it compare to -- this was your baby. you put all the pieces in place, how how do you compare -- all special, this team is here because of the decisions you made. >> well, you know, everybody did their part. as a head coach you have to make decisions and do those things. the great thing about this, it was one of the most amazing team efforts i have been a part of. there is not a player who didn't contribute to us winning. we were not a one, two, three player football team. week. everybody contributed. quarterback situation, you look defensively, in the super bowl, they were out there in the the passer.

that took place and yet we found the ultimate goal as a you know? i don't know that it has ever been done that way. maybe it has. special. >> it was not smooth sailing by any means. was the discussion you had with peyton -- >> you talking about -- >> reporter: we need to go with >> yeah. you know -- [ talking at the same time ] >> it was tough but it was immediate for me. go back to kansas city game. i walked into the press conference, i know, i shouldn't have played him today. he wasn't feeling good. when i told them we will get you healthy and go that direction, that was tough on him but i had to get him back to where he was before the season started. a lot of things we went

make those hard times special too because you made it work. >> the decision to go back to 18 after broadcast played so well. -- brock played so well. >> yeah. that came from my conversations with him. i believe the day after a couple weeks of him working out, we had a good conversation. he and i in the bubble, nobody else therein. i knew that -- in there. i knew that day he was ready to come back and lead the football team again. and it presented itself and here we are. >> reporter: final thing for you, a lot of great mayors tried to go into higher roles like john has, why has john been able to succeed while so many others haven't? >> he is the most competitive man i have been around. if john does something it will be at the highest level, but i also think you don't find

look at anything that could happen, playing, highs, lows, big games, you know, he has done everything. john understands players, he understands how to deal with players. they respect him. he understands coaches. when john watches somebody coach, he knows a good coach. he knows what she looking at. i think he is so seasoned in this business and yet the most competitive guy you will find. >> reporter: congratulations on the super bowl. >> thank you. thank you. [ music ] >> and that will do it. a long broncos season is officially over. making for a short office season just the way you want it. thank you for watching tonight and all season long.
