LONDON – It’s been 12 years since the Denver Broncos last played in London. Twelve years since a trip that shrouded the franchise in controversy and became “a professional nightmare,” according to Hall of Fame cornerback Champ Bailey.
“I believe it was the start of a dark chapter in Broncos history,’’ Bailey said. “I mean, we were accused of cheating, our head coach was fired, even my own career was uncertain with my contract being up.’’
On Oct. 31, 2010, a then 2-5 Broncos team moved to 2-6 with a 24-16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in historic Wembley Stadium.
