Last night’s victory was so much more than just another tally in the win column; it was a sign, a sign that the Mile High Magic is back!
Following the game, there was a euphoria flowing throughout Denver and into Sports Authority Field, and nobody felt it more than the players themselves, as evidenced by Von Miller.

And magic may be the best way to describe what happened last night.
When the Broncos were down 14-0 midway through the second quarter — it felt like a whole lot more — the season seemed to be spiraling out of control; Denver was riding a two game losing streak, the defense looked as if it were falling apart in real time and the offense looked as if they forgot which way the ball was supposed to go.
It was bad, really bad.
At that point, a loss seemed inevitable; the only question was by how much. Even John Gruden and Mike Tirico began talking about how far the Broncos were falling in the playoff picture.
But then … something clicked; the defense locked in, Brock Osweiler began slinging the ball and C.J. Anderson came back to life.
Yes, it was just one game, but it was a special performance by a special team. All of Broncos Country should be excited to see where they go from here.
