Whatever team you might have been rooting for, we all know that wasn’t the real Denver Broncos yesterday. Right from the very first play, it was clear the Broncos were out of sorts. And it only got worse from there. Meanwhile, the Seahawks seemed incapable of doing anything wrong, and only played better and better as the game progressed.
Why is that?? It’s a simple answer really: Psychology is contagious. One failure can set a tone that can remain for a time. And a success can set a very different tone that can also remain for a time. The Broncos went down a downward spiral, while the Seahawks went up an upward spiral. The contrasting performance of these two teams clearly illustrated this tendency of human nature.
