Broncos’ challenge: Super Bowl repeats have eluded NFL’s recent great defenses

Yeah, defense does win (Super Bowl) championships.

Broncos Country (hopefully) has learned as much over the last three seasons when it has had front-row seats to two of the most illustrative examples in league history: The defensive-dominated Seahawks obliteration of the Broncos’ record-smashing offense in Super Bowl XLVIII and Von Miller and Co’s dismantling of Cam Newton and the high-powered Panthers only four months ago in SB 50.

So impressive and dominating was the latter contest, that it immediately injected the 2015 Broncos’ D into the best-of-recent-NFL-times discussions alongside the 1985 Bears, 2000 Ravens and ’02 Buccaneers.
