Pardon me if I'm not clamoring to ride shotgun on the latest trek of the Denver Broncos bandwagon.
Yup, they're 3-1.
Jake Plummer isn't throwing interceptions. Two rookie cornerbacks are panning out. Either Mike Anderson, Tatum Bell or even Ron Dayne are running the ball effectively. The Cleveland Browns defensive line has added a potentcy and depth the team hasn't seen in a while. I've actually heard sports radio hosts pondering whether this defense needs a nickname.
Hrmmm.
Let's see where this team is in early November, as opposed to early October.
5-1. 5-1. 6-2. Those are the records to start the season over the past three years for the Broncos, complete with dominating performances in all facets of the game.
10-6. 10-6. 9-7. Those are their final records, which include Super Bowl XXIV-like performances against Indianapolis the past two years and regular-season games where they lost to seemingly inferior teams.
Washington, New England, the Giants and Philadelphia are Denver's next four games, which make for a brutal mid-season stretch. If good feelings still linger on Nov. 1, make me a spot on the predominantly-orange caravan.
