The broncos when they got smoked by the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. It doesn’t help they played one of the most physical teams ever. Also just the way manning had to throw looked soft.
That whole Manning offense that year was bullshit crossing routes. They were fucking pick plays. It worked all year until they played a defense where the cornerbacks just fucking held and dared the refs to throw flags. Broncos had zero answers that day.
That Super Bowl was a matchup of a Broncos offense that committed illegal offensive pass interference every play and a Seahawks defense that committed just about every penalty they thought they could get away with.
What most people forget (or didn't even see) was that in the AFC Championship Game 2 weeks prior to that Super Bowl, Welker went and fucking speared Aqib Talib and knocked him out of the game on an illegal pick, no flag. Broncos were the healthier team going into that game anyway and would have won anyway, but for the Pats to lose their best and most physical corner to a cheap shot with no flag early essentially sealed the victory before halftime. Watching the Seahawks beat the shit out of the Broncos was cathartic after watching Denver get away with that garbage all year to set records.
