The Broncos are another team this season that doesn’t look like the group that nearly went to the Super Bowl last season behind a 14-3 record. Through four weeks, they have become one of the worst offenses and defenses in the NFL, but still boast a 2-2 record.
After dropping their first two games of the year in what should have been a pair of cupcake matchups, this week against the Broncos could be their best chance to get a win before their date with the Jets on November 22nd. If they can’t do it, the Bolts will be staring at the reality of an 0-9 start to the season.
If Jim Harbaugh starts being hostile to the media at 0-4, imagine what another month of this exact result would be in his person.
