The Denver Broncos are fresh off of a 5-11 season, and are moving on. Here’s five things we learned from John Elway’s end of season presser…

John Elway, Vance Joseph, and Joe Ellis addressed the media following the Denver Broncos’ 5-11 season, and as always, there were some interesting nuggets mixed in with some football clichés that always leave us with more questions than actual answers.

The Broncos’ lead decision makers had a lot of explaining to do after an awful year, one that included an eight-game losing streak.
