It wasn’t that long ago that we had to reference the Denver Broncos as the defending Super Bowl champions. Many players from that very roster remain impact players for John Elway’s team, including Von Miller, Chris Harris, Aqib Talib, Demaryius Thomas and many more, yet for several reasons, the Broncos have not only failed to live up to the high standards set up for them before the 2017 season but they’ve laid flat at the bottom of the AFC West.
The Broncos are currently 3-5 and sit in the division’s basement tied with the Los Angeles Chargers, but it’s likely that Philip Rivers and company end up with more second half momentum than Denver given their recent records.
