DENVER -- First place in the AFC West right now might be akin to being the best center in a 5-foot-9-and-under basketball league. Still, the Denver Broncos' ugly 30-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday kept them from a tie for the flawed division's lead.
The Broncos took all of the goodwill they brought home from Dallas following a 30-16 win over the Cowboys in Week 9 and squandered it in a festival of penalties, red zone stumbles, porous run defense, a blocked field goal attempt and an 83-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Eagles cornerback Darius Slay.
