Su gran oportunidad lleg\u00f3 en 1969, y un a\u00f1o despu\u00e9s, en 1970, cumpli\u00f3 la promesa: llev\u00f3 a los Cowboys al Super Bowl V.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aunque perdieron de forma dram\u00e1tica ante los Colts con un gol de campo de \u00faltimo segundo, Morton ya hab\u00eda escrito su nombre en la historia del equipo.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventualmente, perdi\u00f3 la titularidad ante el miembro del Sal\u00f3n de la Fama, Roger Staubach, lo que marcar\u00eda el inicio de su viaje hacia otros horizontes. Tras un paso breve y discreto por los Giants, Morton lleg\u00f3 a los Broncos en 1977 para vivir un segundo aire espectacular.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En su primera campa\u00f1a en Denver, lider\u00f3 al equipo a un r\u00e9cord de 12-2 y, tras destronar a potencias como Steelers y Raiders en los playoffs, llev\u00f3 a los Broncos al primer Super Bowl de su historia (XII). Ir\u00f3nicamente, el destino lo enfrent\u00f3 en ese gran juego contra sus excompa\u00f1eros, los Cowboys.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aunque Denver cay\u00f3 ante la temible defensa \u201cDoomsday\u201d de Dallas, el impacto de Morton en la franquicia fue tal que hoy es miembro del Broncos Ring of Fame.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Craig Morton se retir\u00f3 despu\u00e9s de la temporada de 1982, justo antes de que Denver adquiriera a quien ser\u00eda su sucesor y otra leyenda, John Elway. Al d\u00eda de hoy, Morton se mantiene como el tercer pasador hist\u00f3rico de los Broncos en yardas y pases de anotaci\u00f3n, superado \u00fanicamente por los legendarios John Elway y Peyton Manning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El hist\u00f3rico mariscal llev\u00f3 a dos franquicias distintas a su primer Super Bowl en la historia.
