At the risk of jinxing it, one thing that is really helping out the Broncos is health. On top of everything else last year, they had a ton of injuries; early this season they lost Patrick and Sterns for the year, and they were down two safeties in the Dolphins game. And of course Kareem Jackson's executive function keeps acting up and costing him games. But other than that, the injury sheet has been clean. The offensive line that held the Browns to 1 sack has been playing together all season, and the return of Baron Browning has helped the pass rush. Another thing that has vastly improved the defense is benching DaMarri Mathis, who was being hunted mercilessly early on. Moreau and McMillian are much better. They're still shaky against the run but health helps with that too. They've had some lucky breaks to be sure - this would have been a much different game if the Browns hadn't hosed up a reverse when it was 17-12, and the Bills and Vikings games were tossups. Winning out is very unlikely - but if they can win 3 out of their next 5 (one of which is against the Patriots), they'll go into Vegas in week 18 at 9-7, which probably means win-and-in.

No Butt Stuff posted:I think the real thing helping them is not having one of the worst coaches in modern history and kicking Wilson’s staff out of the building. Of course that's a big part of it; it's most of the reason the offense went from "an abject disaster" to "decent", but that improvement has been fairly steady all year. The defensive turnaround and recent health tell the story of why they went from 1-5 to 6-5.

It's best not to think too hard about just-okay quarterbacks. That way lies madness.
