ENGLEWOOD, CO – Pressure?
That might be a keyword around the Denver Broncos headquarters about now, and not just because a dominant defense has unleashed so much heat on quarterbacks that it is on pace to one-up the NFL single-season sack record set by the great ’84 Bears defense.
The Broncos are about to play the franchise’s biggest game in nearly a decade – since another signature defense carried Peyton Manning to a crown in Super Bowl 50 – and there’s great anticipation about whether they will pass this serious litmus test.
No, there’s no parade on tap. The Broncos can’t win the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Yet here come the Kansas City Chiefs.
