ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Playing for pride and a winning season, the Broncos roared out of the blocks with their best first half of the season and cruised to a 24-6 win that allowed them to finish with their fifth consecutive winning season at 9-7.
After being plagued by slow starts all season -- most recently a 21-7 first-quarter deficit in last week's loss to Oakland -- the Broncos stormed downfield on their opening series via an 8-play, 84-yard match.
The Broncos never trailed,was Oakland's first five possessions ended in punts, with a meager average of just eight net yards per series in the first half.
