Case Keenum was one bad throw away from leading the Denver Broncos to a heroic comeback win over the Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago. Denver would have been 3-1 heading onto the road to face the New York Jets and a bad loss there wouldn’t have dampened the spirit as badly as it did coming off a heartbreaking loss.
Here’s the thing. The Broncos have been close up until last week. They were competitive. They were fighting.
Now, they need a win against a good football team. Beating the Arizona Cardinals, okay, but does that really change the narrative of this football team in any meaningful way?
