During the Patriots long and storied dynasty run since winning the Super Bowl in 2001, there have been plenty of rivals to rise and fall.
Peyton Manning and the Colts were first. The Baltimore Ravens were second, and now it’s the Denver Broncos. Part of that is Peyton Manning’s years, but even before Manning the Pats have always struggled against the Broncos in Denver.
Two seasons (2005 and 2013) have ended in Denver for Brady and Belichick. 2005 was their first-ever playoff loss together. Finally beating the Broncos in Denver would complete that circle.
The 2015 Peyton Broncos in Denver embody almost everything that has ever stopped Brady and Belichick from getting to the Super Bowl.
Along with their first win over the Giants since 2007′s 16-0 game and a win over the Chiefs, avenging the 2014 beatdown on MNF, the Pats are now poised to write the final chapter in three career trouble spots.
