Broncos Country is alight with excitement right now, but for all the parties raging around the city of Denver, there’s nobody happier than the Denver Broncos players right now.

And they deserve to be. Not just because they’re going to the Super Bowl — that’s a given — but because of what they’ve been through. This season has been insane. There aren’t many Super Bowl teams that have gone through as many ups and downs as this team has. So when Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski hooked up for what could have been a game-tying touchdown, nobody should have been surprised.

How else would the game have gone down?

As they’ve been doing all season, though, the Denver defense stepped up and got the job done.

Here’s what our AFC Champions had to say following the franchise-defining victory:
