Broncos return from long weekend as big favorites over Panthers: “There’s still a lot of things we have to be better at”

The Broncos delivered a beatdown and earned a breather.

Now they’ve returned from a long weekend and find themselves in relatively unfamiliar territory as they launch back into a regular schedule.

They’re big favorites in Week 8. As of Monday morning, Sean Payton’s team is favored by 7.5 points over Carolina in Sunday’s game at Empower Field.
