One for the Books
It’s not complete hyperbole to call Sunday’s win over the Chicago Bears an historic one for the Denver Broncos. It did, after all, secure Brock Osweiler his first career win in his first career start. And on a more macroscopic level, the win guaranteed Denver’s 27th .500-or-better season since 1984 (the year Pat Bowlen took over as owner), which is the best mark in the league over that span, according to team historian Jim Saccomano.
And while the focus will very quickly shift to this Sunday’s highly anticipated matchup with the New England Patriots – who must win on Monday night against Buffalo to bring a perfect 10-0 record to Denver – it’s worth recognizing the best and worst performances from Sunday’s victory over Chicago.
As Von Miller said postgame, “We’re thinking about right now. We had a great win in Chicago. We’re going to ride on the party bus to the airport. Go home and celebrate this win. Tomorrow, we’ll talk about Patriots.”
With that, here are the Broncos “Studs and Duds” from Sunday’s Week 11 victory.
