ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- When Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak speaks to his team about how things should go or what he expects from them, he will tell the players “be the best you."
It turns out that Kubiak followed his own advice, and the Broncos have spent much of the past week enjoying the fruits of those decisions following Denver’s 24-10 win over Carolina in Super Bowl 50.
A team with a Hall of Fame quarterback (John Elway) as its chief football decision-maker and a former quarterback (Kubiak) as its coach simply was its best self on the way to the championship.
