Broncos' bridge could fall down in London

The Broncos' bridge could fall down in London, England.

The Broncos play the Jaguars in London on Sunday, the NFL hosts annual games in London to promote global growth. However, the Broncos don't have time to see Big Ben or Buckingham Palace. The focus is on saving their season.

A loss to Jacksonville could lead to a major shakeup. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano, multiple starters could be traded before the deadline on Nov.1 at 4 p.m. EST.

Bradley Chubb, KJ Hamler, Jerry Jeudy and Melvin Gordon III are all on the trading block, per Graziano and Fowler.

The Walton-Penner group, the Broncos' new owners, are tired of being ridiculed for their 2-5 start and are willing to make several changes.

"(The Broncos' owners) are rich and ruthless," NBC Sports Mike Florio said Tuesday on the Rich Eisen Show. "These folks are not going to take any options off the table, and they have no loyalty to anyone who is working in that building."

That includes rookie head coach Nathaniel Hackett, who's reportedly on the hot seat, per Florio.

It's understandable why the organization wants to make these moves, but ripping the team to shreds is a risky one. Rash changes can make an organization more dysfunctional, pushing it to the bottom of the league.

An upheaval is inevitable, unless they snap their three-game losing streak and start winning this Sunday.

"This one is the biggest game by far," said Justin Simmons, via DNVR's Zac Stevens.
