The Broncos have been either tied or trailing in the second half of five of their six games, and have the worst point differential of the NFL’s five unbeatens at plus-37. (The Patriots, to compare, are a plus-116.)
Yet Denver remains among those unbeatens in Gary Kubiak’s first season, and tonight against Green Bay can make him just the fourth coach post-merger to open 7-0 in his first season with a new team.
Ray Malavasi
1978 Los Angeles Rams
Opened: 7-0 — Finished: 12-4
Taking over after George Allen was dismissed midway through the preseason — he’d only been hired in February — defensive coordinator Malavasi led LA to its sixth of seven straight NFC West titles.
