As much as Bob McNair was determined to bring Gary Kubiak back as head coach – McNair indicates that Kubiak's job was safe, win or lose - the possible fan revolt from that move with a defeat on Sunday would have made for an ugly offseason.
But after a day of red zone failures put it in a hole, and drew boos from another sellout crowd, Kubiak's squad scored 21 straight points to win its fourth straight game. Winners.
“It's a lot of hard work to win in this league and to get a franchise that's got a chance week in and week out, and I think we're pretty darn close to that,” Kubiak said. “I'm happy for Andre. I'm happy for Dunta … all the people that have been here fighting the fight.
“(I'm happy) for this city. I want to see this place win. It'll be nice to get on Kirby today and feel like this football team has got a winner for the first time.”
