ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Broncos are 6-2, which puts them right in line with their pace of recent years, in which they have posted four consecutive seasons of at least 12 wins. They sit atop the AFC West, along with the arch-rival Raiders, whom they will see next Sunday. Only three teams have better records through eight weeks.
But to extend their 12-win run to five seasons -- and continue their streak of consecutive AFC West titles -- Head Coach Gary Kubiak knows his team must improve in the areas that need it most -- especially on offense, where the Broncos rank 27th in total yardage and 26th in yardage per play.
