Denver Broncos defensive lineman Terrance Knighton guaranteed an NFL championship.

The Denver Broncos are one of the best teams in the AFC, and there are quite a few fans and analysts that believe that they will end up representing the AFC in the Super Bowl. That being said, there are other good teams like the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts that are also contenders in the AFC.

Despite the fact that there are other good teams across the NFL, Broncos’ defensive tackle Terrance Knighton guaranteed a Super Bowl win. It seems a bit premature and those guarantees always end up turning out bad more often than they do good.

It simply adds more pressure to the team and the media scrutinizes everything a bit more than usual. That is never something that a player should bring onto his team, but Super Bowl guarantees will do that in a huge way. Denver does have Peyton Manning leading the way, but they still have some holes on their team as well.

“It doesn’t matter what happens. At the end of the year, we’re hoisting that trophy,” Knighton said Sunday, via The Denver Post. “I don’t care if New England doesn’t lose again. I don’t care where we have to play. I don’t care who our opponent is. We’re not going to be satisfied until we hoist that trophy. So if we’ve got to go to New England (in the playoffs) and win somewhere we’re not used to winning, we’re going to make it happen.”

Needless to say, that was a bold statement and the Broncos now have the added pressure that was just talked about. He is a very talented player, but it is way too soon to be talking about Super Bowl wins.

There is no question that the Broncos have the talent that it takes to win a Super Bowl, but anything can happen in an NFL season. Not to mention, the Broncos already lost to the Patriots earlier this season, and they showed major holes in a loss to the St. Louis Rams as well. While they are a good football team, they are still very beatable.

Knighton has set the bar extremely high for his team, and it will be intriguing to see whether or not they can reach for it and attain the guarantee that was made.
