They share a nickname. The colors are similar. Ryan Clady, the star second-year offensive tackle, played for both teams. So are the Broncos the Boise State of the NFL? We're willing to give the Cowboys a little more credit than UC Davis (although we're not sure Roy Williams should be starting for either one), but how much do we know about the 4-0 NFL Broncos after a home win against Dallas in Week 4?
As season began, 63 percent of SportsNation said rookie coach Josh McDaniels would create more off-field drama than either Rex Ryan with the Jets or Todd Haley with the Chiefs. How bad was it? After a miracle Week 1 win against the Bengals, McDaniels still only received a 39 percent approval rating from Sportsnation -- two points better than Eric Mangini.
So are the Broncos for real? And have we finally found a successful Bill Belichick disciple?

“KUDO'S to the Broncos and their fans for playing a great game yesterday and showing some teams how to play defense. I hope my team was observing some of that. See ya in two weeks at the "Q".
” -- KPCHARGERBOY
“When you hold the cowboys to 74 yards on the ground (Felix Jones or not) you are doing something right. Alot of credit is going to Nolan and Champ for this game but let's not forget about Brian Dawkins. It seems like he is the leader of the D to me.
