ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- For an inside linebacker bent on redemption, for a rookie quarterback aching to prove he can succeed at this level, and for an entire team looking for some teal-and-black mouthwash to remove the bitter aftertaste of a crushing overtime loss ... this weekend's game means much more than you'd expect for a 7-4 team facing a 2-9 club whose playoff hopes are mathematically remote.
The Broncos' storylines are rich for this weekend's game, and they start with Brandon Marshall looking to show the team that drafted him what they couldn't see more than three years ago.
