23 January 2026Mile High hopefuls: Meet some of RTD's biggest Broncos superfans ahead of the AFC Conference championship
The date is Jan. 24, 2016. The deafening roar of tens of thousands of Denver Broncos fans engulfs Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium as the New England Patriots line up for a two-point conversion with 12 seconds left in the game to tie the 2016 AFC Conference Championship and send the game to overtime. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady takes the snap and throws the ball to wide receiver Julian Edelman, only for it to be deflected by cornerback Aqib Talib, falling into the hands of defensive back Bradley Roby for an interception and punching the Broncos’ ticket to Super Bowl 50, where the team beat the Carolina Panthers 24-10 and won the 2016 NFL championship. Fast forward to this Sunday, just a day after the 10th anniversary of that game, and history looks to repeat itself once again at the same field against the same team.
