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.

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.

The most notable portion of Wednesday’s Broncos-Jaguars injury report may be the player not listed. Starting left tackle Ryan Clady, who missed all of training camp and preseason with an offseason knee injury, was nowhere to be seen on the report.
