Super Bowl Champ T.J. Ward Says Broncos Have Title Blueprint

Super Bowl 50 champion safety T.J. Ward is unequivocal about the Denver Broncos’ trajectory: they will play for the Lombardi Trophy next season. Speaking with TMZ Sports during Super Bowl week at SI The Party, Ward declared, “They’ll be in the Super Bowl next year!!!”

The former “No Fly Zone” enforcer believes Denver’s greatest asset is continuity. While NFL rosters routinely undergo dramatic turnover, the Broncos are positioned to bring back their quarterback, running backs, defense, and coaching staff intact. “Bo Nix gonna get healthy,” Ward said, referencing the quarterback who broke his ankle in the AFC Championship. “They have a rare opportunity to bring an entire team back, for the most part.”

Ward, who started at safety for Denver’s championship defense in 2015, insists the franchise already owns a proven championship template. On his “Safety First Show” he has emphasized that roster stability is the league’s scarcest commodity, and the Broncos currently possess it.

Asked what tweaks might be necessary, Ward downplayed the need for sweeping changes. “I mean, they really don’t need much. Man, I’d probably add a couple more weapons on offense, maybe. But we were even injured at the wide receiver position during the playoffs … they’ve got some options, man.”

He also eased concerns about Nix’s recovery, stating, “It’s all good already, so he’ll be practicing in the offseason.” With ample draft capital and salary-cap space, Denver can selectively reinforce rather than rebuild. “It’s an exciting time for football in general,” Ward added. “You know the best part about football? It’s not knowing what’s going to happen.”
