BRONCOS FINISH WITH PERFECT DIVISIONAL RECORD
The Broncos finished the season with their 2nd-ever perfect record (6-0) in the division. The only other time Denver went undefeated in AFC West play was during its 1998 Super Bowl season (8-0).
Hmm. The Broncos finish 2012 with a 13-3 record, their All-time Home Playoff record is 13-3 and the last time they swept the AFC West Division, they won the Super Bowl. Sounds like the "Mile High Magic" is back.
