After years wandering through the football wilderness, there’s a lot of talk about the Denver Broncos returning to the NFL elite this season -- and some of it is coming from the team’s Dove Valley headquarters.
Speaking after a recent practice, Coach Sean Payton didn't shy away from those expectations.
"Our goal's obviously to start with winnin' the division," he said. "Best seed possible. Play for a Super Bowl. And I think that's where your mind's gotta be."
Denver returned to the playoffs last season for the first time in nine years, which is also how long it's been since they've won the AFC's West Division. That's been the province of the Kansas City Chiefs, who have also played in five Super Bowls, winning three of them, in that timeframe.
Ryan Harris, a local and national sportscaster, and a former Broncos player, joined Colorado Matters to discuss the team's chances of living up to the hype.
