PHILADELPHIA — Looking back, to what seems like years ago and not weeks, the Broncos were 6-0.
A strong 6-0 at that. Four of those six victories came against the future playoff likes of Cincinnati, Dallas, New England and San Diego.
Where have you gone, 6-0 Broncos? From that lofty vantage point, the Broncos have fallen farther than a daredevil tied to a bungee cord. Only, after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles 30-27 on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, the Broncos have no guarantee of a rubber-band effect.
From 6-0, the Broncos have lost seven of their past nine. They fought back gallantly from a 27-10 deficit midway through the third quarter against an Eagles team that is now 11-4 with a playoff berth reserved.
