Broncos celebration after Josey Jewell's first interception looked silly. But if that's what it takes to light fire under 3-10 team? Pose away. Have fun.

Keeler: Broncos celebration after Josey Jewell’s first interception looked silly. But if that’s what it takes to light fire under 3-10 team? Pose away.
