Fully aware of the Broncos’ five-year playoff drought, constant change at quarterback and recent tradition of meaningless December football, new general manager George Paton presented a confident but realistic outlook when the team opened training camp on July 29.
“We want to be relevant in November and December,” he said. “But we have to do it on the field and we plan on doing that.”
Consider that part of Paton’s Plan accomplished.
The Broncos’ 28-13 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday set them up for a December to remember, a December to erase the last half-decade of futility, and a December to bring excitement back to these parts.
