Broncos' season far from lost
By Mike Klis
The Denver Post
Not long ago, the Broncos were arguably the most exciting team in the new NFL season.
Before groin strains, before a near-complete defensive conversion to the 3-4, before an offensive turnover epidemic, the Broncos were 3-0 and moribund Kansas City was up next.
Four weeks later, the Broncos' overriding question became: Where have you gone, DeAngelo Hall?
Not only have the Broncos lost three of their past four games, including a 41-7 Monday night drubbing at New England, but they've lost numerous key players to injuries.
"First of all, we have to humble ourselves, from top to bottom," said Elvis Dumervil, the Broncos' best pass rusher. "And we have to remember we're still in a great situation. We've beat a good team in Tampa. We beat the Raiders (when they picked on Oakland cornerback Hall). Beat the Chargers, beat the Saints. We have talent here. We have the coaches here. We just have to humble ourselves and get collected as a group and take on the next nine games, knowing we're still leading the AFC West. It's still positive around here."
For all their problems the past month, the Broncos remain atop the AFC West with a 4-3 mark.
By the time Mike Shanahan and his coaching staff and players return Sunday night to begin preparing for their next game, Nov. 2, against a Miami team that finished 1-15 last year, the Broncos still will be in first place.
