Broncos 2016: Recapping the 5 Last Minute Predictions
By Tylor Walden
The Broncos will win Super Bowl 50
I seriously went for a gamble on this one. How I was able to predict this was beyond awesome. But I did it. The fandom in me kept believing and it happened.
Right before the Broncos kicked off the season against the Ravens, I just had a real gut feeling that this was the year. I believe that learning from the Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl, I knew that Elway would get a solid defense together.
I will admit, there were times where I was on the edge of my seats. But I honestly think that the Broncos got things heated up at the right time and they were able to carry that momentum towards a third Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.
During the postseason, seeing the defense had Broncos fans really confident. In my opinion, it was the offense that I was a bit concerned about. But the running game did what it needed to do, and Peyton Manning just had to limit the mistakes and things were going to be alright.
One big thing that I saw from Manning in the postseason was that he did not try to force any big plays. Just let the running game and defense handle things and for him to be focused. And that is what led to the Broncos hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for the third time in franchise history.
