Denver has won 80% of its games this year and is currently on pace to win 14 this year, believe it or not. The seventh win in a row was an ugly one, and you just have to wonder if the team is a bit gassed from the season thus far and all of these close games.
The optimistic view to take is that Denver having to play on a short week and them facing an AFC West opponent in primetime, which they don't play well in, were huge reasons why the team struggled. With 10 days of rest coming up before their Week 11 showdown, Denver could get what they desperately need.
