Last year, Denver was the team nobody wanted to acknowledge for the longest time because Peyton was shit. As soon as he leaves people start questioning how Denver will be without him. But really, it's the same team as last year. Good defense, good enough ground game, and as long as the offense doesn't put the team in a position to lose, they'll be in the game for the full 60 minutes. I think it's just such an old ideology in this current age of offensive juggernauts and the game being so QB-centric that nobody wants to acknowledge it until it's too late. At least this year they have the backings of a Super Bowl victory so they at least get some respect. Thing I love most about this Broncos team is they should always be in a position to win the game. Both games were very enjoyable to watch, and I love what I see from the team overall.
