ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Broncos know the steepness of this week's challenge as they try to climb back onto solid footing in the race for a playoff spot. But they're not running from it, either.
"You're playing a Hall of Fame quarterback and a Hall of Fame coach. It's your see-where-you're-at week," cornerback Aqib Talib. "You play the best. You've got to love to play the best, right?"
If there was one overarching tonal theme in the Broncos' locker room Wednesday, it was a desire to take this challenge head-on -- a challenge that is slightly different than what they had when they last faced the Patriots, because of changes on both sides.
