Just in time for you to have some free time (hopefully) around the holidays, Netflix has gifted Denver Broncos fans with something cool to watch!

“ELWAY” actually premiered last month in downtown Denver and featured a Q&A session with John Elway. That exclusive event required a ticket, but now the rest of the world gets a chance to see the film from the comfort of their own couch, as it came out Monday.

The Netflix and Omaha Productions documentary chronicles the quarterback’s time in college and in the NFL, where he spent his entire 16-season career in Denver. Omaha Productions is led by another Broncos great, Peyton Manning.

Netflix describes the film simply “Told in his own words, the definitive story of Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway goes deep on his NFL dreams, heartbreaks and Super Bowl redemption.”

Here’s the trailer…
