Denver Broncos bringing back offensive scheme team rode to two Super Bowl titles in the late 1990s
Adapt or fail. That’s life in the NFL.
For the Denver Broncos, that means digging into their past in hopes of finding success in the present.
In the late 1990s, then-head coach Mike Shanahan and the Broncos rode the outside zone to two Super Bowl titles. More than two decades later, Denver hopes the scheme still can pay off.
First-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett and the modern-day Broncos are trying to learn how to run the outside zone like the team of yesteryear.
