Can the Denver Broncos repeat?
Well, this is the most important question of all, isn’t it?
Here’s what I’ll say: Yes, of course the can, but it’s not likely.
Now, that sounds negative, but it’s the truth. The Broncos weren’t likely to win the Super Bowl last year, either. Don’t forget, there was a high likelihood that the Broncos weren’t going to even make the playoffs at halftime of Week 16. Without a gutsy comeback and some All-World level performances from Von Miller and the rest of the Broncos defense, there’s no way Denver wins the Super Bowl.
But … they did, and that’s all that matters.
And, if I’m being honest, I think they have just as good of a shot to win the title this year — probably even better.
The defense will likely be worse — it’s hard to imagine they can be any better — but they’ll still be great. And, more importantly, the offense is going to be much improved. Say what you want about Sanchez, but it’s going to be difficult for him to be any worse than Peyton Manning was last year, especially with a renovated offensive line in front of him.
Like all championship teams, it’ll take a good deal of luck to be playing in February for the second year in a row, but it’s definitely on the table.
