When it comes to the Denver Broncos defense, it became the bread and butter of the team since losing Super Bowl 48 to the Seattle Seahawks. After that game, John Elway was bent on getting a defense for the unit. While the 2013 Broncos had an offensive juggernaut, that big game proved that defenses win championships.
Just two years after the embarrassing Super Bowl loss, Denver was able to use their defense to overpower a Carolina Panthers offense to win Super Bowl 50. Ever since, the Broncos have seen defensive players leave and it has slowly, but surely impacted the Orange Crush defense.
