ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos are in a freefall.
They are 3-4 after a 3-0 start, with growing despair among the team's faithful that the five-year playoff drought from 2006 to 2010 is about to be topped by a six-year hiatus.
The Broncos were 8-4 on the morning of Dec. 11, 2016 -- 75 games ago. They have gone 27-48 overall since then, a .360 winning percentage. They are 13-19 at home, with a turnstile at quarterback and a growing pile of frustration inside and outside the team's complex as solutions continue to be elusive.
