Vic Fangio knows Broncos need touchdowns not field goals against Chiefs
The Broncos got a confidence boost by beating the Patriots on the road. They’ll need something more than that to beat the Chiefs on Sunday, however, because six field goals won’t be good enough against Patrick Mahomes and company. “We’ve got to score touchdowns,” Fangio told PFT after Sunday’s 18-12 victory in New England. “You’re [more]
