In their 21-16 victory last Thursday, fans were entertained with a game that featured four lead changes, and a game that came down to the last possession.

Remembering Last Year
Before the offseason even began, General Manager John Elway said that the entire team gathered to watch their Super Bowl performance. Every single moment was reviewed. From the first snap, which resulted in a safety, to the final whistle, when many viewers had already stopped watching.
The team has been examined and questioned ever since that very forgettable dismantling. Questions from that day still linger in fans’ minds. How could a team that dominated for the majority of the season lose so badly? Were they scared of the Seahawks? The one thing that’s for certain right now is that the Broncos Super Bowl beat down will be all the motivation necessary to make things right this season. You can still watch the team in person; get your Broncos tickets today to see the season opener against the Colts.
Money Well Spent
Despite making it to the big game last year, the Broncos defense was a weak point that needed to be improved upon. Ranking 19th in the league, the Broncos picked up some key additions. By adding strong safety T.J. Ward, former Patriot cornerback Aquib Talib, and DeMarcus Ware to the defensive line, the Broncos have definitely tried to straighten up their defensive issues.
Defense improvements were shown on the first snap of the game, which featured DeMarcus Ware blowing up a designed inside handoff to Seattle running back Robert Turbin. Ware forced Turbin to change direction and run outside for no gain.Make sure you pick up your Broncos tickets today if you are looking to see this improved defense in action.
Peyton Manning Will Put Up Points
By having a more physical and stout defense making it harder for opposing offenses to score, Peyton Manning’s job will be much easier. As a quarterback who is known to put up points, an improved defense will make it much easier for the Broncos to grind out close games. With all of his many targets returning from last year, Broncos fans should expect similar numbers to the 55 touchdown passes that Manning completed last season. He also threw four or more touchdowns passes in nine of last year’s games. Finally, don’t forget the fact that Manning also had 15 games where his passer rating was 90+. That’s the most ever put up by a QB! Make sure your there to witness the numbers he puts up this season by purchasing your Broncos tickets today!
