56 days ago the Broncos lost to the Miami Dolphins by 50 points, one of the worst losses in NFL history that was very nearly statistically the worst loss in NFL history. After this loss falling to 0-3
21 days later, 2 weeks removed from their only win against the at the time winless Chicago Bears, they fell to 1-5, and looked ahead to a schedule of Green Bay, the Chiefs, the Buffalo Bills, and the Vikings
And just over a month from that date, the Broncos are now 5-5, 4-0 in their last four games. They do have a tough upcoming schedule in the Browns, Texans, Chargers, and Lions. But it is amazing how far their team has come and how the narrative has shifted from posts like this and this to the Broncos being a playoff contender that can shock anyone
