There’s a popular cliche in the NFL.
Over the last half decade or so, it’s taken a life of its own. Everywhere you turn, this damn phrase pops up. In some instances it works, but for others it’s just plan lazy. This is one of the few times it actually works and it has to do with the Denver Broncos.
“Next man up.”
For the Broncos to have a chance on Sunday against division rival the Los Angeles Chargers, they will need that in a major way. On Thursday alone, Denver lost three players in practice.
