Correll Buckhalter‘s disappointing output as backup running back in the Broncos‘ season opener in Jacksonville (six carries, 15 yards, 2.5 avg. with a fumble) has apparently spurned a reaction from Head Coach Josh McDaniels.

There was a myriad of misfires on Denver‘s part in their 17-24 loss to the Jaguars Sunday, but none were as egregious as the Broncos’ lining up only 10 players on defense in the red zone midway through the third quarter. Jacksonville quarterback David Garrard easily hit tight end Mercedes Lewis for a 10-yard touchdown, […]

Josh McDaniels said his plan for Tim Tebow won’t change much from Week One. NFL coaches revealed that if/when they saw Tebow on the field, they’d play the run. In reality, Tebow’s appearances Sunday didn’t really affect anything. McDaniels admitted they’re a work in progress, but all in all, McDaniels was pleased by first-time OL […]

As Week One in the NFL came to a close, it’s the Kansas City Chiefs — owners of a combined 10-38 record over the past three seasons — who stood alone atop the AFC West. They arrived there in dramatic fashion. Four stops inside the six-yard line with less than a minute to play sealed […]

Once upon a time — 2008 — the Mike Shanahan-led Denver Broncos were 8-5, boasted Pro Bowlers Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall, and were apparently playoff-bound. The future was bright.

Randy Gradishar‘s ticket into the Pro Football Hall of Fame became a lot harder to punch a few years ago, when the former Denver Broncos linebacker’s candidacy expired as a modern candidate and he was shuffled into the senior pool. Only two senior candidates are nominated each year. This year, Gradishar wasn’t one of them. […]

From start to finish, the Denver Broncos‘ 2010 season opener will be remembered as a game marred by miscues. In the end, the mounting mistakes proved too much for McDaniels‘ men to overcome. It began in the first half, when the Broncos twice drove down the length of the field only to fall short due […]
