BSN Broncos insider Brandon Krisztal gives his keys for the Broncos defense stopping the high powered offense of Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.

Don’t look now but the road to the Super Bowl may go through Denver after all. What a great day for the Denver Broncos. They not only won their NFL-record 15th straight road divisional game, the vaunted, mighty New England Patriots lost their second-straight. The Broncos now sit in the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs thanks to…...

What is it about the Indianapolis Colts? When you take Peyton Manning from the organization, one would think that was enough to lift the dark cloud of stank that hangs over the Denver Broncos every single time these two teams play. Change the venue in Indianapolis? Nope. Cloud is still there. Play in Denver? Stank is as strong as…...

Message delivered. Peyton Manning shutting up the critics? Check. A balanced Denver Broncos offense that compiles over 500 yards? Check. A nasty defense that makes the best quarterback in the NFL look average? Check. If you had paid attention, there was no way in hell the Broncos were losing this game. There was no way this team would lose…...

By now you’ve heard Derek Wolfe feels like a “caged animal.” He’s ticked off, and he wants to take his aggression out on the Oakland Raiders. That’s great news for the Denver Broncos defense that already is the best in the NFL. One aspect that’s gone overlooked by some/most is a trait this unit has small doses of but doesn’t have…...

Give this to the Denver Broncos: At least they’re consistent. Four games into the season, four games where your blood pressure rises and you don’t have any finger nails left. Four games where the theme remains the same: Kicking and screaming. I said it after the first win of the season and it remains true after the 23-20 win over…...

There’s been a lot of attention on the Denver Broncos defense. Rightly so. Through the first three weeks of the NFL season, it’s been the best defense in the league. The scary aspect for opponents (intriguing for Broncos fans) is it will only get better. People have focused on the incredible pass rush. When you have the depth and talent Denver…...

In case the rest of the NFL didn’t know, the Denver Broncos defense is really good. Really, really good. There’s a name for it in these parts, and it’s been a long time since we’ve said it with confidence. Fans have wanted to utter the words so badly over the last four years (make it 20) … only to have…...

Wow, defense really does win games. There was a time this was a common occurrence in Denver when it came to the Broncos. After all, the first Super Bowl appearance in the franchise’s history was because of the defense. And solely because of the defense. There’s still a lot of football left, but this Denver defense is really, really good.…...

The remnants of the odor from January’s massive stank show will finally get deodorized. With it the speculation. The hyperbole. The rumors. The innuendo about this and that, mostly Peyton Manning and the new offense Gary Kubiak brings to the Denver Broncos. Since the NFL is now a sport that is 365 days, you have to fill the months from…...

For the Denver Broncos to clear that final hurdle, it will not come solely from the arm of Peyton Manning. Since the veteran quarterback signed in the Mile High City, this is the first time it’s not about him. It’s not about how well he plays, how many touchdowns or yards he throws for or if he wears a glove…...

It’s only the preseason, but the Denver Broncos defense has dominated their competition two weeks in. They’ve allowed one touchdowns – late in the win over the Seattle Seahawks Week 1 – and the defense has given up a mere 16 total points. The starters are quick to say they’ve yet to give up a TD and they’ll ride…...

The sports world is obsessed with stats. Everywhere you look, it’s numbers, numbers, numbers followed by more numbers. Part of that, a lot of that, is due to fantasy sports. It’s not so much about whether a guy or team are any good, it’s about the stats they put up. The problem with that is the numbers and stats people…...

Sports debates are always a great form of entertainment. Emotions run high, the blood boils a little hotter and the heart races. With the addition of social media the last 5-10 years, it seems that debate never ends. Want to amp it up about 100 times? Debate the Denver Broncos. One aspect about Broncos Country is everyone has an opinion…...

Wade Phillips knows defense better than you. He knows defense better than just about anyone on the planet. Phillips takes that knowledge and creates success. The most recent example is his time with the Houston Texans as the defensive coordinator. As Bucky Brooks from NFL.com points out, Phillips transformed a defense that ranked dead last in pretty much every statistical…...

John Elway has had a massive failure when it comes to the offseason. He’s let too many key pieces go from his roster, and too many questions on who will fill those spots. Forget for a second it’s not even April yet. Or that the players have yet to step on the field with their new coaches. The biggest offseason…...

The shock is still present. People remain in disbelief that the Denver Broncos let one of their most popular players walk. A guy some feel was crucial to the success of the defense. Prior to the start of NFL free agency, he was the guy most said was the second most important to re-sign. But it never happened. Then it…...

Some people tend to focus on the negative. The problem is that blinds them from what is positive. From all the good they refuse to see or accept. One could look at any facet of life to see this, but it’s truer than ever in sports – especially the NFL. Fans and media get so caught up in a narrative they…...
