Next-Day Notebook: Broncos return to Denver with defining pair of wins, show resolve in 1-score games
A year ago, the Broncos were 0-2 when they boarded a flight to Tampa.
Nine days later, they returned to the Mile High City with a .500 record. The trip began a stretch of five wins in six weeks, and Head Coach Sean Payton later pointed to the extended road trip as a defining moment of the season.
The Broncos' schedule wasn't quite the same this year. They played on "Monday Night Football" before heading to the East Coast on a short week. Instead of practicing in West Virginia, they headed across the pond. |
