Broncos find a way to do the unthinkable the last few weeks

The Denver Broncos have really done the unthinkable the last few weeks. They started the season with one of the worst defenses in the sport's history, allowing a 70-point game and every other bad defensive game. But things have changed a bit.
The Broncos are not only now 4-5 on the year but have won their last three in a row, and both sides of the ball look fine. The offense, which looked good at the beginning of the season, is still okay. It could use some cleaning up in terms of penalties, but it's fine.

Bills disprove media’s narrative on very first drive of game vs Broncos
The Buffalo Bills announced they would play their starters in their second preseason game earlier in the week. On game day, we were bound to see a surprise. And so it happened along the offensive line from the moment the team took the field for warmups. David Quessenberry was in with the first team instead […]
