DENVER -- The Denver Broncos have officially turned the clock back to one of the franchise's most difficult periods, the year late owner Pat Bowlen had referred to on occasion simply as "that season."
Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars dropped the Broncos to 0-4 for the first time since 1999, the season after Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway called it a career as a player.
That season also included the knee injury that troubled running back Terrell Davis for remainder of his playing career, a season long considered by many of the Broncos' faithful as the most disappointing and difficult of the last three decades.
