Josh McDaniels' return to Denver highlights his growth as a coach

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- When the New England Patriots visit the Denver Broncos on Sunday night, it will mark the second time that Josh McDaniels returns to the Mile High City to coach a game since his tenure as Denver’s head coach from 2009-2010.

A lot has changed for him since then.

Experience can be a great teacher, and that partially explains why McDaniels -- whose last trip to Denver came in the 2013 AFC Championship -- is once again viewed by many as a top candidate to interview for potential head-coaching openings should he decide to do so in the offseason.
