Injuries can really hurt a team, and the later they come in the season, the worse they are.

In Denver, a leader is returning but he has to win back the respect of his teammates.
With the seemingly incomparable and record-setting offense set to square off against the monumentally futile Jacksonville Jaguars this week, the line of Denver -28 ties a record for the biggest spread ever set.
