Much like the Baltimore Ravens in 2000, defense was the driving force for the Denver Broncos' Super Bowl. That's where the comparisons end.
The 2000 Ravens are considered one of the great all-time defenses, mentioned in the same breath as the Steel Curtain, Purple People Eaters and Monsters of the Midway. The Broncos are the best defense of 2015.
One likely narrative will be how Denver's defense stacks up against the likes of Baltimore. Football Outsiders recently ranked the Broncos as the fourth-best defense to reach the Super Bowl since 1989, one spot ahead of the Ravens.
