Why the Broncos really lost on Sunday
The Broncos didn’t lose the game to the Jaguars, but they lost something else: Their stranglehold on “Best team in the NFL” status.
I would argue that there is not much that is more powerful than presumption.
In the case of Denver, that presumption is that they are the NFL’s most elite. That their offense is unstoppable. That Peyton Manning is having a season for the ages. That they will not just make it to the Super Bowl, but trample whatever the NFC has to offer.
