En route to being blown out at Mile High for the third consecutive game and becoming the first team in franchise history to start 0-4 at home, something noticeable happened on the Broncos’ sideline Sunday: There appeared to be a strange calm as the Los Angeles Chargers built a 21-point second-half lead.
Keep grinding, the players told themselves even after the eyesore-of-a-first-half.
Keep hitting, they told each other even as the Chargers’ defense kept Drew Lock and Co., in a collective vice grip.
Keep believing, they reminded teammates and coaches even as the fourth-quarter clock began to evaporate.
