3. The playoff format suits the Broncos

Unlike other professional sports such as the NBA, NFL, and MLB, the NFL is a one-game, win and you’re out scenario. Having said that, the pressure-cooker of the NFL playoffs doesn’t bode well for most teams.

As we’ve seen in past and recent years, winning in the playoffs is tough. On many of occasions, we’ve seen teams annihilate opponents in the regular season to only lose in the early rounds of the playoffs. There are certain teams that are better suited for the regular season, and there are those built for the gauntlet of the playoffs, like Denver.

In the playoff setting, the layout is a huge advantage for the Broncos. With that notion, it is a huge reason defensive teams win Super Bowls. History has exhibited that teams with top-flight defenses win more compared to teams that score a substantial amount of points.

The playoff format is fitting for Denver because it plays to their strengths.

Coupled with the one-game scenario and the likelihood of a team traveling to the Mile High City for a playoff game gives Denver, yet another advantage.

With their experience and the way the team is constructed, the playoff format helpful for the Broncos.
