Before you try and draw this comparison the Broncos remember our airport is practically in Nebraska.
The City of Phoenix doesn't have even 2 million people but the metro area is at least 4 million.
Also, it's very rare in sports to see a big pour out at the airport to welcome back a team that was eliminated from the playoffs.
This.
I've never gone to the airport to welcome back winners, but much a losing team, at night, during the week.
Overblown to the n-th degree.
