Elway beat the Browns dude. He beat the Marty Chiefs with Grbac. He played in an easy conference.
It's like the NFC today. All the great teams are in the AFC while the NFC is laughably bad. And that showed when Elway got his ass kicker every SB in the 80's

I don't think it's like today's NFC at all. The NFC's won 3 of the last 6 SBs, and it would probably be 5 of the last 6 if not for late heroics by Mahomes.
Back then, the AFC representative was lucky to keep the game within 30 points, much less win.
