Parity in the league is working, and it has become next to impossible for Super Bowl winners to repeat. This year both the Western Divisions are leading their conferences and the AFC East is running a close third place. Oh how things have changed.
The Broncos have set a new standard for scoring excellence, and the rest of the league must now figure out how to match that. Dallas tried, but failed. Who's going to be strong enough to give us the next challenge?
