When comparing the Denver Broncos Super Bowl 50 team to the 2018 team, there are a couple similarities, but even more differences.
When the Denver Broncos signed Peyton Manning in 2012, the expectation was that he would lead the team to multiple Super Bowls. It took the Broncos just two seasons to reach the big game. Unfortunately, they got dismantled by the Seattle Seahawks, 43-8. That didn’t stop them from their quest to get back. Two years later, they met the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. The end result was much better, as the Broncos defeated Carolina 24-10.
As you would expect, the Denver Broncos’ current roster is much different than their Super Bowl 50 roster from 2015.

The Broncos haven’t had much success since their Super Bowl victory against the Carolina Panthers in 2015. So, what’s the deal? You could name multiple reasons for the downfall. You would likely be correct.
The number of players currently on the team that helped win a Super Bowl is very low. Players whose team just won a Super Bowl often leave for a different team once free agency starts because they feel like they deserve to get paid a lot more than their current team offers.
The Broncos have different players at multiple positions that were either in college or on a different NFL team when the team won their third Super Bowl.
Here is a look at the changes the Broncos have gone through since their latest championship victory, which happened to be Peyton Manning’s final game in the National Football League.
