We're a confident bunch right now. We're playing aggressively. We're playing together. We're playing with a little bit of confidence and a chip on our shoulder -- just trying to continue to prove not only to other people but to ourselves that we have a really good football team. We're starting to play like it.
At 8-5, the Broncos find themselves three games over .500 this late in a season for the first time in eight years. Their whirlwind 41-32 victory over the Cleveland Browns took their penchant for rough-around-the-edges play to the extreme. They're looking to stay hot... and earn a playoff appearance for the first time since winning Super Bowl 50.
Denver's defense entered the game third in the league in yards allowed per game before giving up 552 to Cleveland. Browns quarterback Jameis Winston finished with 497 passing yards -- the second-highest total the Broncos have ever given up to an opposing quarterback.
Despite their defense's worst day since the cathartic 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins, the Broncos won Monday night. This victory marks a significant turnaround as they head into their bye week.
