NFP has an article suggesting that the Denver Broncos have shown the other NFL teams a game plan for how to beat Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers:

There were many articles last year suggesting that the Broncos did the same with the Packers, soundly beating the 6-0 Packers with a game philosophy somewhat contrary to previously accepted thinking.

The NFL is a stodgy organization, with changes more often gradual than radical. Was Denver more willing to think outside of the box last year?
