Each and every point made so far makes a lot of sense. For me, I just think there is a certain mental toughness and moxie this year’s team has that’s hard to quantify. I’ve said it a few times—they’re just built different. As Ross mentioned, they’re a battle-tested squad that has overcome a lot.
Coach Payton has talked about the shift in culture in the locker room over the past few seasons. A lot of the players have discussed being confident in the direction the team is headed and a supreme belief in themselves and what they’re capable of as a group. That’s a powerful thing.
It will certainly go a long way toward making sure they are prepared to win Sunday’s game against New England. Both these teams are well-coached. Though I think the Broncos are poised to be the victors and prove a lot of doubters wrong. They have the right mindset approaching this one and a chip on their shoulder. I’m confident they will advance to Super Bowl 60.
