I don’t get the same kind of anticipation for the Broncos as I did for the Bullets in the ’78-’79 season for the Sonics. Probably because the win was so convincing. And the Broncos were very gracious afterwards. (not that the Bullets weren’t) If anything, I’d love to see a Seahawks vs. Patriots Super Bowl, if a rematch doesn’t happen.
