With the right mix of aggressive defensive, effective offense and clutch special teams play, the Broncos found a way to inch out the New England Patriots 20-18 to win the AFC and a berth in Super Bowl 50. There were peaks and valleys with some controversy sprinkled in between, but there was one recurring theme that hovered around this season. That theme is, kicking and screaming.
Unlike the AFC Champion Broncos of 2013, the current Broncos team has found a grit and a “kicking and screaming” attitude that was lost on the previous Broncos super team. Nothing was “gift wrapped” to this team, so to speak.
