IRVING, Texas – Twenty-some years has a way of creating perceptions, actually causing me to chuckle this past Super Bowl Sunday.
There has been all this talk of just how great the Denver defense was in that 24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50, and it certainly was, some insisting this was one of the greatest defensive performances ever in Super Bowl history. There were other performances being compared to what the Broncos pulled off, like those of Baltimore and Chicago and Seattle and Tampa Bay. Think the Miami Dolphins, too, being mentioned, giving up just seven points each time in their back-to-back victories in Super Bowls VII and VIII.
