ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --Five games into the season, the Broncos continue to be on a record-setting pace in several team and individual statistical categories.
Keep in mind, we're only entering Week 6. Plenty can change between now and then end of the season, but it's still fun just to see what kind of pace the 2013 Broncos are on through five games.
