LONDON – As the Broncos enjoyed a jolly good time in merry old England, where the high knees and unwavering spirit of quarterback Russell Wilson saved the butt of beleaguered coach Nathaniel Hackett, you needed to grab a glimpse of general manager George Paton to find out if the 21-17 victory against Jacksonville on Sunday meant a blankety-bleeping thing.
Was this the start of something beautiful for the Broncos?
Or was this fleeting feel-good moment the beginning of the end for outside linebacker Bradley Chubb?
“It is tough,” Chubb said Sunday, as subdued as a player can be after driving a stake through the stinking heart of a four-game losing streak.
