Broncos need a long winning streak or two in quest to rejoin playoff picture, but Bills represent tough task: “There’s no better script to get a season turned around”

There’s never a bad time for a bye week in the NFL, especially in the middle of the season.

But if ever a team might have wanted to play through, it’d be the Broncos. They finally put back-to-back wins on the board late last month. Their active roster is almost entirely healthy. They finally vanquished Kansas City. They finally, maybe, figured out their recipe for winning.

Then they went 15 days between games.

So, what will Denver look like when it takes the field Monday night in Western New York? Like a group that flashed and reverts to early-season form?
