“We’re playing to win, not to keep it close and not to lose. That’s the message to our entire team.”
Broncos coach Vance Joseph said that last Tuesday.What changed in a span of four days? What happened to turn Joseph’s go-for-broke mindset into one of cautiousness and passiveness?
Trailing by four points and less than five minutes remaining Saturday against the Cleveland Browns, Joseph opted for a field goal instead of going for it on fourth-and-1 from the Browns’ 6-yard line.
“I trust our defense to get a stop there (after the field goal),” Joseph said.
