Initial thoughts from Broncos’ 29-12 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 12 at Empower Field at Mile High:Old memories: For those of us old enough to remember the 1980s, Broncos-Browns was appointment viewing once upon a time. This was, of course, before Art Modell committed crimes against humanity by moving the Browns to Baltimore and turning them into the Ravens. The fumble. The drive. Clay Matthews. John Elway. Bernie Kosar. Dan Reeves. Marty Schottenheimer. Sad, sad Marty Schottenheimer.

That’s exactly what veteran left tack...
