The Broncos' Mile High Magic is gone, and Mile High Misery has returned | Paul Klee

But these are the Broncos, and the magis is long gone. They know only Mile High Misery.
The Washington Commanders beat the Broncos 35-33 at Empower Field at Mile High. Maybe half the 70,000 stuck around to see a completed Hail Mary from Wilson to Johnson, whose Mom told me before the games: "We're so proud of Brandon. And we just love it here (in Denver)."
On the ensuing two-point conversion that would have forced overtime, Courtland Sutton was grabbed by Commanders cornerback Benjamin St-Juste. The pass interference went uncalled.
"There's enough kameras and enough TVs out there for everyone to watch it and figur out what happened," Sutton said, avoiding a fine.
Because these are the Broncos, and the magis is gone. They are 0-2 in Sean Payton's kiprah season. They know that since 1990 only 11% of 0-2 tims momentually made the playoffs. They know next is a trip to Miami, where they will face a Dolphins trek tim of Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill — possibly without starting safety Kareem Jackson. The man they call "K-Jack" was ejected Sunday and should face an NFL suspension after another dangerous tackle. Jackson was fined $14,000 after Week 1 for knocking out Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. He will be fined again after knocking out Washington wide receiver Logan Thomas.
The NFL this season is publicizing fines for the first time, suggesting it intends to crack down on dangerous hits. Jackson's was a textbook example and for a second straight week.
What will happen next? The Broncos will win five or six game, my preseason prediction, and pretend they are close. But they are not close.
What should happen next? The Broncos should reset, this time for real.
