Kiszla: Broncos must win Super Bowl 50 to lose reputation as Choke City

Let's start with an exorcism.

Before the Broncos can win Super Bowl 50, the team and the town must kill the demons of 43-8.

"God is so good. He'll give you a second chance in life," Denver linebacker Von Miller said in the hour after an emotional victory against New England that earned the Broncos a return trip to the NFL's championship game. "I remember after the Super Bowl loss, I was sitting in the locker room and you have guys crying. It's a depressing moment."

Oh, nobody in Denver has forgotten. The humiliation suffered at the hands of Seattle left a scar, which is tender and raw, even two years later.
