2. Super Bowl 50 victory over Panthers

Getting to the playoffs is difficult. Getting to the Super Bowl is more difficult. But you know what is the most difficult achievement during a single season?

Winning the Super Bowl. The Broncos did exactly that, against the team that went 15-1 during the regular season in 2015: The Carolina Panthers.

Unlike Super Bowl XLVIII, the Broncos dominated.

The Broncos held the regular season MVP without a touchdown while Broncos running back C.J. Anderson scored the lone offensive touchdown for Denver.

Cam Newton was sacked six times, including 2.5 by Von Miller and two by DeMarcus Ware. One of those sacks by Miller led to a fumble, which was recovered by defensive lineman Malik Jackson in the end zone for a touchdown.

We also cannot forget to mention the fumble in which Cam Newton famously avoided going after.

Sorry, Panthers fans.

Super Bowl 50 was a game dominated by the Broncos defense. Hopefully, one day, the Broncos will be able to do it all over again.
