| Von Miller INT seals the deal for the Broncos. |
It was awesome to see the Broncos clinch the AFC West Title. Peyton Manning deserves credit but the pick 6 by Von Miller was the nail in the coffin. I didn't expect the Broncos to win this many games so I have to eat my words on the early predictions I made. The AFC West may be the weakest division in football but as much as the media wants to crown Manning as MVP of the league to many overlook how well the Broncos Defense has played this season.
Some of you may or may not have noticed I haven't doled out
much praise for the Broncos the 2nd half of the season. Today they do deserve
it, Manning deserves it, and the D most certainly deserves it. I still feel in
my gut and in my heart that until Manning hoists the Lombardi over his head the
signing can't be called a success despite his great regular season comeback.
Maybe to some that's asking too much but since Manning cost
the Broncos so much in so many ways and since his window of opportunity is so
small nothing else will do. Call my expectations to high but that's how this
armchair QB sees it.
The Broncos have to get one of their RB's to produce because
without the threat of a running game I don't see them going deep in the
playoffs. Thomas has made a big jump as a WR and the rest of the Receivers have
done a serviceable job but it won't be enough.
Clinching early is great too but no guarantee of a
championship. Manning's Colt teams did it many times and he only has one ring
to show for it so the Broncos must not get complacent or take any games off the
rest of the season. If they finish strong they could be the second highest seed
in the AFC and get all their playoff games at home except the AFC Championship
Game if the Texans get that far. So the remaining games matter and they must
continue to improve in all phases of the game.
Congrats enjoy the win today Broncos Fans but they still
have work to do, like taking the Oakland
Raiders to the Slaughter House on Thursday. GO BRONCOS!'
