The Broncos have not been the same football team since the moment an ambulance hauled coach Gary Kubiak from the stadium in October, after a home loss to Atlanta knocked the aura of invincibility off the Super Bowl champs.
A mere coincidence? Maybe so. But I think not. Since Kubiak fell ill with flu symptoms that were quickly diagnosed as a complex migraine condition, the Broncos have lost their mojo, gone 4-4 and now are in real danger of missing the playoffs.
This group of proud Denver players, like their coach, won’t stop battling.
