Broncos Team Report
Yahoo! Sports - 9 hours, 50 minutes ago
If the Broncos' 3-0 start is a fluke, the NFL will find out soon enough. Denver has beaten Cincinnati, Cleveland and Oakland, but the schedule gets much tougher starting this week against Dallas.
There are signs the Broncos are not going away so easily. They have come a long way since a choppy first game of the season, which is a sign of a well-coached team.
"We're 3-0 and we've shown improvement week to week," quarterback Kyle Orton said.
The schemes are sound on each side of the ball, and players are responding well. The offense rarely makes a mistake and can move the ball through the air or in the running game. The defense has allowed only 16 points in three games, a shocking turnaround for a team that allowed 28 per game last season.
The Broncos are also showing they are a tough, physical team, which is what McDaniels wanted. The Broncos pushed the Raiders around on both sides of the ball in a lopsided 23-3 win on Sunday.
Denver has games against Dallas, New England and San Diego before its bye week, which will provide a good measuring stick for the team. But for the moment, there's some cautious satisfaction over a perfect start.
"We can't be any better than 3-0," Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said. "But we're also very humble."
