The Broncos could just as easily be 0-6 as 6-0.
In fact, the former seems more likely than the latter given how miserable Denver’s offense has looked during the 2015-2016 season to date.
Yet the Broncos’ defense is so off-the-charts incredible that on Sunday, Denver managed to eke out a 26-23 overtime victory over the Cleveland Browns.
As we’ve noted, Browns fans absolutely hate the Broncos thanks to decades of futility – most notably the famed 1987 episode known as The Drive.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $20,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
No wonder that during and after the contest, so many Browns loyalists tweeted about their horror and dismay, with a slew of them talking about ending it all – jokingly, we hope and pray.
Here are twenty memorable examples. Check them out below.
In the meantime, we have this message for Browns fans: Don’t do it! It’s only a game…..

Browns lose by 3 but get 3.5 points so they win in the betting world. On paper Denver should have killed Browns. Manning 3 INT ? It's fixed!
