Broncos are finding their 'groove' amid three-game win streak

After a disastrous start, it appeared the Denver Broncos were primed for another terrible season. They've snapped out of their funk, though, and are on the verge of completing a remarkable in-season turnaround.

"It's the NFL, I mean credit these guys," Broncos head coach Sean Payton said following a 24-22 victory over the Buffalo Bills. "There's a little toughness to this league. I keep saying it — there's that fine line between a groove and a rut."

In Week 3, the Miami Dolphins demolished the Broncos by a score of 70-20. The blowout may have motivated them. Denver (4-5) has won three of its last five games, including an upset over the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.

In Monday's victory against Buffalo, the Broncos defense forced four turnovers, quarterback Russell Wilson threw two TDs and kicker Wil Lutz nailed his second winning field-goal attempt after Buffalo was penalized for too many men on the field.
