The big difference the Denver Broncos defense made was the big story of the big game, an impressive win for Denver in Super Bowl 50.
What were the most impressive stats, both from a historical and analytical perspective? Here are some of our favorites:
• The Broncos became the ninth franchise in NFL history to win three Super Bowls. They’ve been to eight, matching the Patriots, Cowboys and Steelers for the most all-time.
• The Broncos defense ranked No. 1 in the NFL in the regular season in points allowed. No. 1 defenses from the regular season are now 10-2 all-time in the Super Bowl since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.
