Or at least find a bit of Mile High Efficiency.

George Paton isn’t going to reveal all of his cards yet.

Tim Patrick's three-year contract extension is a big deal. Let's examine the impact.

"It’s unacceptable as a football player, as a member of this team," he said.

In one split-second moment at the end of the third quarter Sunday afternoon, Teddy Bridgewater frittered away all of the goodwill and positive energy he had accumulated in helping put the Broncos back in the hunt again.

Pat Shurmur might not call plays against the Eagles. Vic Fangio won't say who will. Whoever gets the call will be tasked with finding the same success the Broncos had last Sunday in Dallas.

“It’s showing true concern and care for not only us as players, but us as human beings," Teddy Bridgewater said.

Pretend to draw an arrow and fire it from an imaginary bow — get fined five figures. Make the same gesture without releasing the arrow — no fine.

Angered by the Cowboys' tactical arrogance, the Broncos got mad as hell, and they weren't gonna take it anymore.
