Broncos' success based on run game -- just look at their record
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos' offense is in an odd place.
The team runs the ball better than most, and the amount the Broncos run is a determining factor in their success. In all 18 losses since the start of the 2017 season -- 11 last season and seven so far this season -- the Broncos have thrown the ball more than they have run it.
Overall, they are 4-18 the past two seasons with more throws than runs. They are 7-0 when they run more than they throw.
"Our success is really based through our running game," coach Vance Joseph said Monday when describing the early run-game struggles against the 49ers last week. "And that was slow coming [Sunday]. It affected our entire day."
