For the past eight weeks, humiliation has seemed to wait for the Denver Broncos around every corner. Prestigious teams like New England and Philadelphia have blown Denver out, but so have both the Dolphins and Giants.
But finally, after two winless months, the Broncos fought for an early lead and stomped the life out of their opponents. Denver beat the New York Jets 23-0 at Mile High Stadium, ending an eight-game losing streak.
The difference between the Broncos’ performance on Sunday and how they’ve played for the past two months is execution. The offense took what the defense gave them and found a way to make a couple of big plays.
