Phillips, 68, sat out the 2015 season before the Broncos elected to bring him in to run their defense after Jack Del Rio parted for the Raiders head-coaching job. The move proved to be a major success for the Broncos and Phillips and they’re now facing off against the Panthers in Super Bowl 50.
During the regular season, Phillips’ defense ranked No. 1 one in fewest yards allowed, No. 1 one in fewest passing yards allowed, No. 3 one in fewest rushing yards allowed, and No. 4 one in fewest points allowed
