After getting shut out over the opening two quarters for the third time in six games, the Broncos have now scored 46 first-half points so far this season. That places them in a tie for 12th worst in franchise history through six weeks. And while that doesn’t guarantee futility (four of the previous 12 reached the playoffs), it’s far from a harbinger for success, either.
