5. Eliminate the mental mistakes

Denver BroncosSo many of the Broncos failures in execution come down to one very simple thing: mental mistakes.

The penalties, the dropped passes and the missed assignments reflect a lapse in focus. It happens to the best of teams. And the Super Bowl hangover is very real. It is the reason that in the last 51 seasons, just seven teams have been able to repeat. They get content, and they lose their focus.

If the Broncos are to regain their Super Bowl form, they will have to guard against all of those mental mistakes, and stay sharp.

That edge is what carried them a year ago, and it can pick them back up again this season.
