The Denver Broncos are 0-2, which is a bad sign for their playoff hopes, but there’s still a lot of football left to be played.
Following a 35-33 loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 2, Broncos right tackle Mike McGlinchey was disappointed, but not ready to throw in the towel.

There are 15 games left in the season, but we have a really good football team and a really good opportunity to still fight and turn this thing around. It’s a bad day today, unfortunate that we didn’t get this done when we had it from the start. But the only thing left to do is get better.
“You can’t quit and this is the professional football league and there’s a reason we’re all here. It is hard, it’s really, really, really hard to win and we have a lot of things to still overcome. For the most part, I thought we played hard today. I think we never quit no matter what the way the momentum swung but we just did not execute enough.”
McGlinchey, 28, was the team’s worst offensive lineman against the Commanders, according to grades from Pro Football Focus. He needs to improve as much as anyone on the team — quickly.
The Broncos will get their first opportunity to turn things around when they face the Miami Dolphins on the road in Week 3. There’s a lot of season left to be played, but Denver needs to start winning soon to avoid digging a hole that’s too deep to climb out of this fall.
