DENVER -- As Denver Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles described the team's efforts in a 29-12 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, the television directly above his locker told the real story.
As Bolles told reporters that "nobody is going to give you a cherry on top of a pie because you win five games (in a row),'' a graphic of the AFC's playoff race flashed on the screen. And right there, in what would have been a pipe dream six weeks ago, the Broncos (6-5) were listed as "in the hunt'' for the first time.
