Franklin was far from the only weakness that stood out in Super Bowl 48. Wideout Eric Decker absolutely could not shake press coverage. To the surprise of some—though no one who studied Broncos film week in and week out—Decker was allowed to walk in free agency. He signed a five-year, $36.25 million contract with the Jets and Elway brought in the superior Emmanuel Sanders for three years, $15 million. Sanders set a career-high with 740 yards receiving in Pittsburgh last year, which was 548 fewer than the career-high Decker set. But everyone for Denver posted career highs (or close to it) playing in what was the most prolific offense in NFL history. Sanders, with his multidirectional speed and quickness, poses a tougher matchup for defenses.
