They finally, maybe, figured out their recipe for winning.Then they went 15 days between games.So, what will Denver look like when it takes the field Monday night in Western New York? Like a group that flashed and reverts to early-season form? Or like a team on an upward trajectory?“You can’t start saying something like you’re beating the world after two wins, but we’re starting to believe,” right tackle Mike McGlinchey said. “That’s the only thing that matters is this team believes it can win, and when it gets in those moments, it doesn’t back down, doesn’t cower, doesn’t emotionally check out.
