‘Meaningful accomplishment’: Broncos win over Chargers leaves room for optimism

Interim head coach Jerry Rosburg, in two games taking over the Denver Broncos from Nathaniel Hackett, did the unthinkable and breathed life into a team that so noticeably seemed dead in the water.

After a 51-14 Christmas beatdown at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams, Hackett was let go, Rosburg was elevated, and not only did he nearly lead the team to a win over a Super Bowl favorite in the Kansas Chiefs followed by a win over the playoff-bound Los Angeles Chargers, but he had the team playing hard, with confidence, and like they enjoyed the game they are being paid to play.
