The Denver Broncos failed to post a winning record in 2023 and the team failed to make the playoffs. By both metrics, the season was a failure for the Broncos.
However, Denver has made progress under new coach Sean Payton, who is in his first year on the job. Ask Mike McGlinchey for the new right moves. “I think our win-loss record has gotten a little bit better, to be honest,” McGlinchey said last Thursday.
“I know it won’t be easy with a new coach, a new organization and learning the ropes. Everything was in a new environment. Of course, it’s not easy, especially if you’re trying to overcome the many challenges of recent years. “I think this team has found their heart a little bit this year and discovered what it means to give it your all every week.
I fought I think the heart and character of this team, what we’ve done and what we’ve won, even where we’ve been in the last month – I think it says a lot about who we are and what we’re about. It will happen again. I am very excited about the future. I’m excited to see how good we can be as a Denver Bronco for a long time.
Despite the Broncos missing the playoffs, the team’s record is a sign of progress. Denver’s most wins in a season since 2016 under Gary Kubiak was eight. Although 2023 brought many disappointments, there were also positive experiences. McGlinchey is optimistic that brighter days are ahead.
