I didn't hear the comments, but I can tell you that Montana had a "The
Drive" which won a Super Bowl.

Montana's "The Drive" did win his team a championship.  By the way, Elway is
usually credited with two "The Drives", one of which was in a divisional
playoff game.  Another little known fact is that Dave Krieg had two "The
Drives" in the NFL playoffs, although his hype machine wasn't nearly as loud
as Elway's.

Elway's "The Drive", necessarily, was less of an accomplishment than Jeter's
catch, since football is by several orders of magnitude more a team game
than is baseball.
