Can Broncos avoid 0-3 start?

These first two games have been tough for the Denver Broncos to swallow. How do you follow up a tough loss to a divisional opponent? Lose a heart breaker to the head coach’s former team. Denver could very well be 1-1 right now. But the team is currently staring at 0-3 if they do not win on Sunday. It would mark the first time since 1999 the team started 0-3, when the team started the year 0-4.

I know a loss is a loss and a win is a win, but Denver only lost by one score in each game this season. They should have won last week. But that is water under the bridge. The point is, Denver needs a strong start and make sure to finish the game.

Vic Fangio knows Green Bay

Another familiar opponent this week for Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio as he tries to out coach Matt LaFleur, who is also in his first season as a head coach. Both coaches have gone in opposite directions as far as their records are concerned.

But Fangio knows a bit about Green Bay, having faced them twice last season. He went 1-1 in those games, winning at home and losing in Green Bay. The loss at Lambeau Field was close.

Hopefully, Fangio can provide some pointers on how to create pressure on Aaron Rodgers.
