One of my favorite things about the Sean Payton era to date with the Denver Broncos is how he keeps them grounded in reality.
We got a taste of that when Mike McGlinchey was asked whether or not this feels like a championship-level team. I love how he started his answer: “ I mean, we haven’t even practiced yet...”
The Broncos know every year they start 0-0 just like every other team. Last season is over and done with. Now you have another opportunity to earn a shot at the postseason.
Questions about how good the team is may sound interesting to the media, but the simple reality is that no one knows what caliber this team is until it gets tested.
