The Denver Broncos were knocked out of the NFL playoffs in the Wild Card round, but two of their former players and two ex-coaches have advanced to Super Bowl LIX.
The NFC will be represented by the Philadelphia Eagles, who have ex-Broncos head coach Vic Fangio as their defensive coordinator. Fangio’s staff includes ex-Denver defensive backs coach Christian Parker, who now works as a passing game coordinator/DBs coach with the Eagles.
In the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs have a pair of ex-Broncos players in running back Samaje Perine and receiver/returner Montrell Washington, who is currently on the practice squad. Perine was cut by Denver last summer and he quickly signed with the Chiefs.
The veteran running back caught a 17-yard pass in the AFC Championship game on Sunday to clinch KC’s win over the Buffalo Bills. He is now set to play in his second title game after previously reaching Super Bowl LVI with the Cincinnati Bengals following the 2021 season.
The Super Bowl will air on Fox on Sunday, Feb. 2 at 4:30 p.m. MT.
