KANSAS CITY — DeMarcus Ware dropped the hint nine months ago.
It was four days after the Broncos trounced the Chiefs on the Arrowhead Stadium turf in the blistering cold last November.
C.J. Anderson starred on the offensive side for Denver, and the Broncos' defense sacked Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith six times and held the Chiefs to only 41 rushing yards. Ware made one of those sacks. He also made three tackles and intercepted a pass.
"Would you say that was your best game as a Bronco," a reporter asked Ware the next week. Four games remained in the season and Ware wasn't ready to concede.
