Broncos general manager John Elway said NFL officials told him the referees made the wrong call when they flagged linebacker Bradley Chubb for roughing-the-passer near the end of Denver’s last-second 16-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
The Hall of Fame quarterback appeared Thursday as part of a Denver Startup Week session dubbed “Scoring Big in Business with John Elway.” After a wide-ranging conversation that covered Elway’s football and baseball playing days, his experience as an owner of restaurants, car dealerships and an Arena Football League franchise, he was asked about the Broncos.
