ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Melvin Gordon III hasn’t been in a Broncos uniform since he was waived in November, but his scouting report on Austin Ekeler earlier this season still stands.
“Austin Ekeler is one hell of a back,’’ he said.
The Broncos (4-12) will finally put an end to one of the most disappointing seasons, perhaps the most disappointing season when preseason expectations are considered, in the franchise’s history Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers in Empower Field at Mile High. How much "business as usual" it will be for the Chargers remains to be seen, but if they need the game to keep their playoff positioning, the Broncos will see plenty of Ekeler.
