The Broncos season, the inaugural campaign in the post-Shanahan era, came to an end with an unceremonious thud at Invesco Field today – that sound you heard? It was the sound of an angry fan base letting their boos rise out from the Front Range, and echo across the face of the Rockies for the entire region to hear.
An extreme case of red-zone impotence has finally come back to bite the Broncos, costing them a game that they had in their back pocket. Problem is, there’s no little purple pill for this variety of dysfunction. The only remedy is touchdowns, touchdowns, and more touchdowns.
It’s now the Chargers division to lose as Denver’s slide continues. With today’s win, the Chargers retake control of the AFC West, and makes it all but impossible for the Broncos to make the playoffs.
