After a miraculous Week 7 win over the Giants, the Broncos are sitting in as strong of position through seven games as they have in almost a decade. The Broncos last sat at 5-2 nine seasons ago in 2016, a year removed from winning Super Bowl 50. If the Broncos want to avoid the same fate as the 2016 team, a hot start followed by a playoff-less collapse, they'll need a few key players to step up down the stretch.
Luckily for the Broncos, they face arguably the worst defense in the NFL this week in the Dallas Cowboys.
