ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --Halfway through the 2013 season, the Broncos continue to be on a record-setting pace in several team and individual statistical categories.
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 eight games.
