The Story of the 2015 Denver Broncos

It might not have been a pretty season for the Denver Broncos in 2015, but winning the Super Bowl is basically a cure all and left every Broncos fan with a smile on their face.  That is the goal of every team in the NFL and the Broncos hit their goal.  2015 started off with a six-game winning streak. Denver beat two of their division rivals in that stretch as well, the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs.

Broncos hit a rough patch losing to the Colts and the Chiefs in back to back weeks.  Denver even had to bench surefire Hall of Famer Peyton Manning during that Kansas City game after he set the NFL record for career passing yards after he threw four interceptions.

Manning was replaced by Brock Osweiler, who would go on a winning streak of his own beating three teams including 2014 Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots in overtime.  Osweiler would then suffer two losses as well to Oakland and the Pittsburgh Steelers but beat the Cincinnati Bengals in overtime. Osweiler would then struggle against the San Diego Chargers, but Denver brought in Manning to lead the Broncos to a win and clinch the AFC West and first place in the AFC during the playoffs, giving Denver home field advantage.

This would lead the Broncos to winning two close games against Pittsburgh and New England to appear in the Super Bowl again. Denver wanted redemption for their embarrassing Super Bowl loss in 2013 to the Seattle Seahawks.

The Broncos would go on to beat the Carolina Panthers and win the Super Bowl now the question is can they repeat?  They have a lot of new pieces on their team but still have some of the figures that got them the Super Bowl win on their team like Demaryious Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Von Miller (Super Bowl MVP) Chris Harris, and Aqib Talib to name a few.  Will they repeat?  Only way to find out is to watch the 2016 season.
