Aside from Cincinnati, Denver has proven to be the AFC team with the biggest holes.
Their defense is tremendous, but having to put out night after night just to barely scrape by and save your team isn’t going to cut it if you plan to try and make it to a Super Bowl.
Against the Bengals on Monday Night Football, the Broncos defense tried everything they could, but no matter what, the offense wasn’t getting it done.
They had to play comeback again, and they’re fortunate it worked out in their favor following an overtime duel.
Not many reasons to believe in them past the divisional round of the playoffs, though — if that.
