The debate as to where the 2015 Denver Broncos rank on the list of all-time defenses is amusing and, frankly, not worth a lot of commentary. The ’85 Bears, ’00 Ravens, ’86 Giants and others may be in the “best ever” discussion; not the Broncos.
But one slight of the “85 Bears is interesting. Consider it at most a small, unintentional case of adding insult to injury, and arguably justified.
On top of the failure of the 1980’s Bears to reach only one Super Bowl came the selection of “The Super Bowl 50 Golden Team” late last month by the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
