#1- They Thrive off the Underdog Role
No matter what the above mentioned have done this season, it just seems like they are still disrespected by nearly everyone outside of Broncos Country.
No one gave them a chance against the Packers. No one gave them a chance against the Steelers in the divisional round. No one gave them a chance against the Patriots. (both in Week 12 and in the AFC Championship Game AT HOME)
Now no one is giving them a chance against the Panthers on a neutral field on the biggest stage of the season. That is fine, the Broncos have not cared about them having no chance.
The majority of the team has even gone on record to say that they can continue to doubt them. They will just continue to play the game and give it their all.

There would be no better story than to win the biggest game in the NFL while nearly everyone else has doubted you. Sometimes, being an underdog makes the taste of victory even sweeter.
So, continue to doubt the Denver Broncos. Continue to say that they do not have a chance in this game. Keep feeding them that doubt. But I will leave with this one bit. A quote from Angela Morales.
“That’s when we do best. When we are the underdog and people doubt us. We can just rise above that.”
