The Broncos saw their season come to an end on Sunday when they fell to the Patriots 10-7 in the AFC championship game.
Though Denver felt their season ended prematurely and will not be going to the San Francisco Bay Area to play in the Super Bowl, there is reason for optimism heading into the offseason. After failing to reach the playoffs for eight consecutive campaigns, the Broncos have re-emerged as a playoff team over the past two seasons. This year, they solidified themselves as a true contender by winning the AFC West, securing the No. 1 seed in the conference and nearly advancing to the Super Bowl.
