10 NFL Teams Most Likely To Play In Next Year's Super Bowl

2. Denver Broncos

Okay, it's looking likely that Peyton Manning will retire in the next few days, and that is fine. The Peyton Manning which played in 2015 started the season with no feelings in the fingertips and ended the season on a stretcher. The Broncos had an incredible season despite Manning, not because of him. Seriously, we are talking about a defense which only gave up 283.1 yards per game throughout 2015. They could bring in Ryan Leaf to play quarterback and it really would not matter. Of course, a lot of this depends on how much of the defense Denver can keep, especially with many of the upcoming free agents hoping for a 'championship bonus.' If the Broncos can keep assets such as Super Bowl MVP Von Miller, whose forced fumble gave the Broncos the first touchdown against the Panthers, then there is no reason they can not go all the way yet again next year.
