We actually lost to the 0-10 Colts in the regular season 41-38 because of a poor defensive game plan and just a lazy defense. Winning appeared easy throughout 1996 and 1997. We had just shutdown the mighty 49ers in their own backyard. Even Madden said that he thought the Broncos had only had a small chance of winning 2 weeks earlier. We had beaten them a season earlier 41-6 albeit without Elway. KC was supposed to be our competitive opponent in 1997 but Schottenheimer could not get there. Too many underestimated the coaching staff of Denver. The Broncos did not use a wide array of plays. They just played D and rammed the ball down the throat of a great run defense. And Favre had his 2 turnovers that cost us 10 points. That team was largely veterans so unlike the Packer roster of today.  Sometimes age produces complacency whereas youth is very hungry. As Dorsey Levens said,  " They just wanted it more. "</p></blockquote><p></p>
