The Chargers and Patriots were mediocre-to-good teams, and the Broncos looked merely "OK" against both of them.
Denver runs into the best team in the league and whammo.

I expected Seattle to win by a score or two for those reasons (and because the NFC is just miles ahead of the AFC currently), but Denver's absolute futility against that defense was pretty incredible. They weren't ready at all for it. First elite D they face all year and they get completely exposed.
