Broncos, Ja’Quan McMillian dominate Chargers, author another chapter in turnaround story: “This is the best defense, by far, I’ve ever been a part of”

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Ja’Quan McMillian still couldn’t believe his misfortune after the game.He thought he had a touchdown.No, not thought.“I know I did,” he said with a smile.The grin, of course, came easily despite the fact that he’ll never watch tape of this game and believe Easton Stick’s hand was moving forward when McMillian rocked him, jarred the ball loose, picked it up on his own and ran it into the end zone.The grin came easily because the Broncos’ bottle rocket of a nickelback is writing himself a starring role in this defense’s Hollywood turnaround story.Credit for another dominating outing? That’s easy. He gets plenty.Credit for helping turn the most maligned unit in the NFL into one of the most intimidating? Oh, yeah.“The guy who has that athletic ability but also is smart is the perfect combination,” defensive end Zach Allen said of McMillian after the game. “… He’s been awesome and he’s been a huge reason why we’ve been winning these games.”A 24...

Kiszla: It’s a horse race! The hot breath of the Broncos now on the neck of Patrick Mahomes in AFC West.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — With the hot breath of Blucifer on the back of his neck, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes better not look back. The devil wears orange and blue, and he’s dangerously closer to the Chiefs than it might appear in their rearview mirror.“We’re in a horse race,” quarterback Russell Wilson said Sunday, after the Broncos dismantled those Thunderdolts from Los Angeles. Denver routed the Chargers 24-7 in a game that was no contest after a devilish Denver defense broke the spirit and stole the soul of Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert with a goal-line stand early in the first quarter.But enough of my silly football poetry. Let’s just stick to the facts, ma’am: Since the last Sunday in October, when they snapped a 16-game losing streak to Kansas City, the Broncos’ record is 6-1, while the dead Chiefs walking are 2-4.Playoffs? Playoffs! Playoffs?Yes, and a Wild Card berth is not the only prize the Broncos can aim for down the stretch of this NFL seaso...
