Even before the doors opened, the fake smoke told the real story. The Broncos locker room was wildly joyous late Sunday afternoon, shouts and laughter reverberating off the walls in Club Dub as the smoke machine,

Bo Nix threw for 307 yards and a season-best four touchdowns, Javonte Williams got a push across the goal line from a half-dozen of his teammates, and the Denver Broncos rolled past the Atlanta Falcons 38-6 on Sunday.

Hangover? That’s for the weak. Not for a team led by its remarkably strong-willed rookie quarterback. The Broncos bounced back from their devastating loss last week at Kansas City to take a 21-6 halftime lead against the Atlanta Falcons on a spectacular mid-November Sunday afternoon at Empower Field at Mile High.
