Peyton Manning and the Broncos are America’s preferred NFL team. (John Leyba, The Denver Post)
The Broncos are 4-1, Peyton Manning is on the verge of breaking Brett Favre’s all-time touchdown passing record, Julius Thomas is making it all look “so easy,” Von Miller is back to being Von Miller and … wait for it … wait for it …
The Broncos are now America’s favorite team.
That’s right. According to , which surveyed 2,543 adults between September 10-17, Denver has ended Dallas’ six-year reign as the country’s preferred NFL team, moving up from No. 3 in 2013.
The Cowboys slipped to No. 4, while the Giants and Packers took the Nos. 2 and 3 spots, respectively. The Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars tied as the least-favorite teams.
Earlier this year, in the Harris Poll of America’s favorite athletes.
Basically this means that THE DENVER BRONCOS ARE AMERICA!
But while the Broncos jumped to No. 1 on this list, the Seahawks moved in as the Super Bowl XLIX favorites, according to the poll. Nearly three in 10 of those who follow the NFL (28 percent) believe Seattle will repeat as champion, while about 19 percent think Denver will take the crown.
And despite the flak the NFL has received in recent months for its handling of domestic violence cases, 55 percent of U.S. adults say they follow the league, up from 54 percent last year.
