The Broncos are pedaling as fast as they can. But it’s hard to get down the road to the Super Bowl when every time the offense takes off the training wheels, quarterback Trevor Siemian falls down and goes boom.
The clock is ticking toward the NFL trade deadline, which expires at 2 p.m. Tuesday. The Broncos are open for business, according to general manager John Elway. Unless Elway can trade for a quality offensive lineman such as Joe Staley of San Francisco or Joe Thomas of Cleveland, the real question isn’t if this Denver season will end in disappointment, but when Siemian will get flattened like a pancake so hard it will require a spatula to peel him off the turf.
