The Denver Broncos look to snap their losing streak to open the season with a road game against the Chicago Bears, who are also 0-3, after their historic 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
Last week in Miami saw the Broncos defense give up 726 yards, the second-most in a single game in NFL history. The Dolphins' 70 points were the most in an NFL game since 1966.
“I’ve been on the other sides of some games like that," Broncos coach Sean Payton said post-game. "And then every once in a while in this league, you get your butt whipped."
The blowout came after two losses by a combined three points. Luckily, the winless Bears offer the Broncos a chance to get back on track. Chicago's fresh off a 41-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, their third consecutive double-digit loss, which came after a week of off-field issues.
Despite their lopsided loss last week, the Denver Broncos are favored for the win on the road against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field in Week 4.
