Playtime is over, #BroncosCountry. The Broncos are 5-3 with wins in 5 of their last 6 -- but 4 of those came over teams 2-6 or worse. They've accomplished the first step: beating who they should. But the players know the real test is about to begin. My wrap from the field:

Broncos edge Jonathon Cooper admits that he's harder on himself than coaches are. Why? It's about culture. "The culture that we're building here is: 'How can you get better?' ... Coach says, 'In this league, you're either getting better or you're getting worse. And our goal is always to get better."

A big difference for the Broncos in Year Two of the Sean Payton era is in getting the details right, as Quinn Meinerz explains: "It feels a little bit easier to be honed in on those details because I already ... know the play, I know the structure that we're going to be trying to build against this play. And so now it's a lot more about the details. Where are my hands? Where's my helmet trying to go? What kind of footwork am I trying to use? So, there's a lot different internal communication each play."
