There's a sort of rugged football beauty to the Denver Broncos' ideal winning formula. It goes like this: Pummel the opposing quarterback, and put your own quarterback on autopilot.
If Trevor Siemian can make a handful of clutch throws, too, as he did Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, then that's some delicious bonus gravy. As we saw in the not-so distant past during a championship season in 2015, when the Broncos win, they do it with defense first, second and third.
It's an approach that leaves a razor-thin margin for error.
