The Denver Broncos have been through a roller-coaster regular season on their way to Super Bowl 50. Led by one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history in the twilight of his career, Peyton Manning is on a quest for what is likely his final chance at a Super Bowl ring. The old saying goes "offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships," and that's why the Broncos have put their faith in an assistant coach with nearly 40 years of NFL experience who is making his first trip to the Super Bowl.
After firing John Fox and bringing back veteran head coach Gary Kubiak to oversee another run at the Super Bowl, the Broncos continued their quest to get the band back together—something that doesn't always work in the NFL—with the hiring of Wade Phillips as their defensive coordinator.
