Blemishes or not, history says 6-0 start usually means Super Bowl trip for Broncos

CLEVELAND – After a white-knuckle, now-they've-seen-everything ride on the shores of Lake Erie, the Denver Broncos kept themselves among the league’s undefeated Sunday with a 26-23 overtime victory over the Cleveland Browns in FirstEnergy Stadium.

The win pushed the Broncos to 6-0, which is the seventh time in franchise history the Denver Broncos have started a season 6-0. On five of the other occasions (1977, 1986, 1997, 1998 and 2013) the Broncos advanced to the Super Bowl.

However, these Broncos have conducted their business in stark contrast to how they have conducted their business in recent seasons, including in their last Super Bowl trip in 2013.
