Kiz: I’ve seen some stuff in 40 years covering your Denver Broncos, but never witnessed the Orange get crushed like this. Ten touchdowns? In one game? Are you kidding me? The pattern detected by our friend Tom Green of 9News — 17 points by the Raiders, 35 by the Commanders and 70 by the Dolphins — suggests the Bears might score 140 on the Broncos. How does this Denver defense recover from this debacle? Or should a down-to-the-studs rebuild begin immediately?Gabriel: If the Bears score 140, Kiz, I’m going to step way out on a limb over Lake Michigan and say the season is a lost cause. A slightly more serious thought: Chicago’s bad. So is Denver. Whichever team loses Sunday is going to have a hard time not thinking about Caleb Williams and the 2024 quarterback class even though both teams thought they were set for the long haul at quarterback — Justin Fields drafted in 2021 and Russell WIlson traded for in 2022. If Denver’s veering toward another top five pick (like the one they...
