Pat Surtain: Last Year’s Loss to Bills Motivates Our Transformed Team
Last season’s playoff defeat to the Buffalo Bills still lingers in the minds of the Denver Broncos. The two teams clashed in the wild card round, where the Broncos, as the No. 7 seed in the AFC, faced a disappointing 31-7 loss. Cornerback Pat Surtain reflected on the experience, emphasizing the lessons learned from that game.
Learning from Last Year’s Loss
Surtain pointed out that the game against Buffalo served as a valuable learning opportunity for the Broncos, who last made the playoffs in 2015. He stated, “We left with a sour taste. That wasn’t the result we wanted, but there’s a lot to learn from and take away from that game.” He expressed confidence that this year’s team is different from the one that exited the playoffs last year.
A New Team and New Opportunities
- The Broncos are focused on leveraging their home-field advantage in upcoming playoff games.
- This season’s squad has undergone significant changes, enhancing their chances for success.
- Despite last year’s loss, the team is motivated to turn the experience into a pathway for growth.
As the Broncos prepare for their next playoff match, they aim to capitalize on the lessons learned from previous mistakes. Surtain insists that this year’s team holds more promise and resilience, ready to confront the challenges ahead.
