Mile High Morning Broncos demonstrate ability to bounce back in
"I thought our mindset was great, I thought our preparation was great, and I’m very proud of the way we came out today and dominated the football game," tackle Mike McGlinchey said.

The Lead

In the wake of a Week 13 loss to the Texans, a slew of Broncos spoke about how the issues that plagued them were correctable.

They pledged to fix the mistakes that cropped up, and they did just that in a resounding Week 14 win that put Denver back in the win column.

As tackle Mike McGlinchey said after Denver's 24-7 win, the ability to succeed on Sunday began during the week.

"It's obviously huge," McGlinchey said of bouncing back. "You can't let losing become a streak, right? You've got to flush it and move on and lock into the next play so it doesn't keep happening. We did well with that this week. I thought our mindset was great, I thought our preparation was great, and I'm very proud of the way we came out today and dominated the football game."

Quarterback Russell Wilson, who threw a pair of touchdowns in Denver's win, said Sunday's performance was representative of who the Broncos have been in recent weeks.

"The truth is, in our season we're 5-1 over the past six weeks and now 6-1," Wilson said. "… I kept telling the guys that, early in the week, that's the reality. That's the truth of the past seven weeks, now we're 6-1 and I think there's great belief. [I] told the guys in the huddle before [taking] the last knee, stay humble and hungry, let's keep going. We're not even at our best yet, and that's a good thing."

With the win, the Broncos kept pace in a crowded AFC wild-card race that currently features six teams that hold a 7-6 record.

"It means a lot," wide receiver Jerry Jeudy said of earning a victory. "This was a big game for us. It was a must-win. Coming in here after a loss and getting it done was huge for the team."
