Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph had himself quite the inaugural season. No quarterback, a decent running back and an underachieving defense. In 2017, the Broncos defense was ranked third in yardage, but 22nd in points against. They also were second to last in turnover differential. Who beat them for the worst? None other than the winless Cleveland Browns.
There’s only so much that side of the ball can do, especially when you have Trevor Simeon and Brock Osweiler starting at quarterback on the other. The 3-1 start was promising, but the eight-game losing streak following didn’t bode well for the Broncos’ new coach.
