10. Regression

As I detailed in my column on other great Super Bowl winning defenses, regression seems to catch up to everyone. The Broncos defense and special teams scoring touchdowns in over half the games again seems unlikely.

Even Tampa Bay backslid the following season with five hall of fame players still in or near their primes! The absolute most optimistic high off of that Colorado supply puts this Bronco D at five hall of famers (Ware (lock), Von (lock within a couple years), Harris Jr., Talib, Wolfe), and it’s a real stretch for a couple of them given the disrespect the hall of fame shows the Broncos.
