The best way to get out of a hole, coaches in every sport have said for decades? Stop digging.
The Broncos started that process with Thursday’s 37-28 win over the New York Jets, ending the first quarter of the season at 1-3.
Another 0-4 start would have sent the season off the rails, and it could still be headed that way because of the injuries to key players and overall concern points like too many turnovers, not enough red zone touchdowns and leaning on so many young players.
Among the 48 Broncos who played against the Jets, 27 were first-, second- or third-year players.
