A loss may be exactly what the Broncos needed
This may go against conventional wisdom, but I’m not sure the Broncos didn’t need to get this loss off their chest.
Again, for as much as we may have begun to talk ourselves into it, teams don’t go undefeated. Everybody loses, and it’s how a team responds to those losses that really matters.
For these Broncos, especially the defense, I think they got comfortable; I think they got cocky. They shut down Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, they had everybody with a keyboard (*cough, cough*) blowing smoke up their you know what, and they thought they were unbeatable.
Well, guess what? They’re beatable, and they know it now.
More importantly, they’re motivated to prove everybody wrong once again. Just look at this Instagram post T.J. Ward put up early Monday morning.
Somehow the Denver Broncos are underdogs at 7-1, but that’s fine. I think they tend to play better when they think nobody believes in them.
