Denver Broncos nominated for 2016 ESPYS

The Denver Broncos may need to clear out a little more space next to this year's Lombardi Trophy.

After defeating the Carolina Panthers, 24-10, in Super Bowl 50, the Broncos were selected as one of the "Best Team" nominees for the upcoming ESPY Awards.

To win the award, the Broncos will have to beat out the Cleveland Cavaliers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Kansas City Royals, Alabama Crimson Tide, UConn Huskies and Villanova Wildcats.

Peyton Manning, Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller are among those who will represent the Broncos at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

Miller also received an individual nomination for "Best championship performance." He'll square off against USWNT's Carli Lloyd, Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby and Cleveland's LeBron James.

WWE superstar John Cena will host the 2016 ESPYS, which will be held Wednesday, July 13.
