Broncos prepare for Colts by watching a tiger attack human prey

John Fox took a different and less subtle approach when preparing his team for the Colts this weekend.

Of the four Divisional Round matchups this weekend in the NFL Playoffs, the one game that ties in a lot of connecting dots is the Indianapolis Colts traveling to Denver to take on the Broncos.

Sure, the Dallas Cowboys going to Green Bay brings back a nostalgic feeling about the 1967 “Ice Bowl,” but the Colts – Broncos is more intertwined.

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is nearing the end; the one thing left for him to accomplish is to hoist that Lombardi Trophy one last time to prove all of his critics wrong.

He needs it to get the monkey off his back, as along with his critics, he knows his postseason grade doesn’t come in the same stratosphere as his remarkable regular season career. He’ll need to also do it in the bitter cold of Denver, or New England en route to the Super Bowl.

What better place to start than against the Colts, his former team and the helmet for which he’ll enter Canton with.

Phenom and the man who replaced Manning, Andrew Luck, seems like a one-man gang nowadays. The Colts are not a great team, and Luck see’s that he always pushes this franchise further along than their talents warrants.

It actually reminds many the way former Bronco John Elway used to push those 1980’s Denver teams further than their talent deserved.

So, with all of the intertwined storylines for this game, how did Broncos coach John Fox prepare his team for the first-game playoff test? Naturally, with a video of a tiger attacking human prey.

The Denver defense had been watching videos of animals attacking their prey all season long. Now, however, they saw it fit for them to watch human prey get the worst of things.

Via USA Today:

“It was just like a normal person on a horse, and a tiger jumped in the air and grabbed him out of nowhere,” cornerback Chris Harris said. “I had never seen that clip before. That’s a pretty crazy clip.”

“Attack your prey,” Harris said as he maintained the video’s strong message.

The Broncos’ defense is a world’s difference compared to a year ago. They finished the regular season ranked third overall in total defense, only yielding 305.2 yards per game.

The main prey they’ll need to worry about this week will undoubtedly be Luck, as regardless of the situation or the score, he keeps coming and coming and coming.

Because of Luck’s attitude and will to win, Fox knows how fitting a video it truly was for this defense.
