The Denver Broncos began the year 1-2 and had lost two games in a row on last-second field goals. Losing in that fashion to the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers were two of the most brutal ways to lose games. Since then, however, Denver has not looked back.
It does appear that those two losses have played a huge part in the team rattling off 11 wins in a row. The Broncos have won close game after close game, have mounted a ton of fourth quarter comebacks, and have simply played excellent football for multiple months now.
