DENVER -- The Denver Broncos aren't saying they shouldn't throw the ball. They aren't saying they want to turn the clock back.
What they are saying is when they possess the ball enough to give both of their running backs -- Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon III -- a busy day at the football office, good things happen.
As in a lot of good things.
"Our two backs are really, really good," said Broncos coach Vic Fangio. "I love them both, I'm glad we have them both."
The Broncos offense showed their rushing toughness during a 38-10 win over the Detroit Lions Sunday, pushing Denver to 7-6 and on edge of the AFC's playoff race.
