Brian Shrout and I continue our review of the early history of the Denver Broncos. They beat a hated rival, twice, but other than that the season was going to be another rough outing for a franchise that would struggle for over a decade.
The 1961 Denver Broncos left off right where the 1960 Broncos finished. Ever vigilant, they won their first game again in this season, but then would go on to lose 11 of their final 13 games to finish 3-11.
They did pick up a win over the Oakland Raiders in the preseason 48-21 in Spokane, Washington of all places.
