Broncos safety Justin Simmons was honest and accurate before practice Wednesday when discussing the stakes of Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions.
“Personally, in talking with the (defensive backs) and getting ready to talk to the team throughout the week, the message is, ‘It’s a must-win,’” he said. “There is no thought of leaving that stadium with a loss because it is playoff time. One loss and your chances are drastically down the drain. Our focus is all about winning on Sunday.”
In the stacked-up AFC, the top 12 teams are separated by 2 1/2 games and Nos.
