In this week’s episode of Something Something Broncos, Laurie Lattimore-Volkman, Jess Place, and I get into the way back machine to review the rise of the Orange Crush in Denver. The Orange Crush defense had an historic run in 1977. The suffocated opposing offenses and willed their team to a 12-2 record that year.
The ride didn’t end until the Super Bowl when the Dallas Cowboys own defense dominated forcing a Super Bowl record eight turnovers against the Denver Broncos offense, but that doesn’t diminish the kind of season that Orange Crush defense had.
