Okay, folks. NOW are the Broncos for real? No matter what happens from here on out, last year and the past are gone. This is a better team, still rising and with a brilliant future under the direction of Josh McDaniels. You heard it here that the Brandon Marshall situation was overcooked and now he's making plays and literally embracing the coach. Yes, it already seems the story is more about what's wrong in Dallas, but this Broncos team is a contender. Correll Buckhalter is on crutches after spraining his left ankle, while Brandon Stokley left the game early. Bring on the Pats!
