Bill Belichick has called his one season in Denver a "tremendous experience" filled with lessons he still uses today, with eight Super Bowl wins on his résumé, six as the New England Patriots coach.
"I loved working for the Broncos in '78," Belichick said.
The Broncos will be in Foxborough, Massachusetts, Sunday (1 p.m. ET, CBS) to face the now 68-year-old Belichick in a rescheduled game. Belichick's six titles in the era of free agency and the salary cap, his .685 winning percentage, the 30-11 postseason record in New England, is unparalleled. And that solitary year in Denver had significant impact on his extensive body of work.
