Wade Phillips

How can Broncos Country forget about “Son of Bum?” Well, I am sure that they have not. But he has truly been missed by Denver Broncos fans. If anyone can scheme a plan to stop Tom Brady, it is this man.

During the Super Bowl 50 run, Wade Phillips was able to limit Tom Brady. While his defense was able to limit him to 280 yards passing, it was the pressure while the Broncos were down on the scoreboard that helped Denver come back to win.

And then there was the performance by the defense in the AFC Championship game that helped lead the way as well. It was his leadership on defense that led the Broncos to their third Lombardi Trophy.

He will look to add another one to his resume if he can find a way to win against Tom Brady.
