LAS VEGAS — Courtland Sutton thought he needed a thesaurus. His smile said otherwise. The Broncos wide receiver couldn’t pull an adjective to describe sweeping the hated division-rival Las Vegas Raiders for the first time in his career, but he didn’t need one. His reaction — a big, knowing, competitive, relieved grin — conveyed the entire message. That this team is for real. Take Our Poll (function(d,c,j){if(!d.getElementById(j)){var pd=d.createElement(c),s;pd.id=j;pd.src='https://www.denverpost.com/wp-content/plugins/polldaddy/js/polldaddy-shortcode.js';s=d.getElementsByTagName(c)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(pd,s);} else if(typeof jQuery !=='undefined')jQuery(d.body).trigger('pd-script-load');}(document,'script','pd-polldaddy-loader')); That this team believes fully in the powers of rookie quarterback Bo Nix. That the sins of this team’s past are perhaps finally in the past. “The tide is turning,” Sutton said after catching eight passes for 97 yards and two second-half touchdowns in a 29-19 win that was uglier than the score indicated and sweeter than Sutton or anybody else in the Broncos locker room could fully articulate. “The elite teams, 17 regular-season games, will be really ready-ready for 13 or 14 of those games and the ones they’re not, they still find a way to win,” head coach Sean Payton said.
