The Denver Broncos have a Super Bowl or bust mindset for the 2015 season, and it is hard to blame them for thinking that way. They have been on the cusp of a title for three years, including losing the big game two seasons ago.

The team also happens to have a future Hall of Famer at quarterback who is 39 years old and could call it quits at any time, so they naturally want to win before he hangs up his cleats. Peyton Manning nearly did just that after the 2014 season, when he suffered a noticeable drop-off in play over the final month of the year, though that could easily have been the result of the torn quadriceps he was playing on.
Manning has not given any indications about when he might retire, but many assume that he will only play for another season or two at the most. His contract is nearly up with Denver, and it would be hard to imagine him signing a new deal after his 40th birthday.

In fact, it appears that many advertisers and the television networks that work with the NFL are going to treat 2015 as if it is Manning's final season, according to ESPN.
The Broncos make a number of national television appearances, and all will either be late afternoon or prime time games. And while nobody is going to puclicly state that this will be Manning's final season (also because it may not be), but the networks are preparing for the upcoming season for Manning to be similar to what Derek Jeter went through in 2014, when he was basically on a farewell tour for the entire year.
