ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos got a not-so-subtle reminder of what the next two months are all about Wednesday when they found the franchises three Super Bowl trophies gleaming in a newly installed trophy case in the middle of their locker room.Not that we need a reminder, but its cool to see them in there, quarterback Trevor Siemian said. And thats the goal, right? Thats what were all working for.Oh, and Peyton Manning dropped by practice with his toddler twins to say hi.It was good to see him, Siemian said. I told him, `I know youve got some shorts on under there. Come join us. But he wasnt having it.Its up to Siemian this time around to run the Broncos ball-control offense that complements Denvers dazzling defense. Hes going to need a lift, though, to comply with coach Gary Kubiaks plea to play big down the stretch .Ty Sambrailo, Andy Janovich, A.J. Derby and Marlon Brown all aim to give him just such a boost.In advance of the Sunday night showdown between the Broncos (7-3) and Chiefs (7-3), Sambrailo, an oft-injured second-year pro, has replaced Donald Stephenson at right tackle. Kubiak said hes willing to rotate guards, too, as he tries to fortify his porous O-line.Janovich has ditched the cumbersome club he wore since breaking his right hand against Houston on Oct. 24. With it, defenses didnt have to cover the rookie fullback in the flat, although he did make a sensational one-handed grab at New Orleans.Opponents will have to once again respect Janovichs versatility, and hell be better able to block for Devontae Booker and Kapri Bibbs, who have struggled to get Denvers ground game going in C.J. Andersons absence.The Broncos put in a claim for Ronnie Hillman, whom they cut in August, after he was waived by the Vikings this week. But the San Diego Chargers got him instead.Ronnie knew all our stuff, Kubiak said, so we thought it was worth a shot.The Broncos did add Brown, whose 6-foot-5, 215-pound frame could give them the presence they sorely need in the middle of the field. Brown, a fourth-year pro who played in 40 games with the Ravens, was waived by the Broncos in August so he could get take care of his bad back. Now healthy, hes expected to contribute both on special teams and from scrimmage.He was super impressive when he was here in camp, I remember that, Siemian said. Its good to get him in here.The Broncos have been unable to clear the safety out of the box all season, with their tight ends either staying in and helping protect Siemian or dropping passes when they do go out on routes. Derby, acquired from New England in a trade last month, is primed for a bigger role over the final six weeks.Siemian might get his biggest boost from Denvers dominant defense returning to full strength .Cornerback Aqib Talib (back) and run stuffer Derek Wolfe (right elbow) are back, giving the Broncos their healthiest lineup since DeMarcus Ware broke his right forearm in Week 2.Denvers defense carried the Broncos down the stretch last year when Manning and Brock Osweiler were running the wheezing offense. Its also what has kept them in the playoff hunt this season.Siemian has been dealing with a sprained left shoulder ever since he was driven into the turf in Tampa in Week 4. He received another cortisone shot last week.The break was really good physically, but mentally it was good to step back, get a breather, Siemian said.Kubiak has praised Siemians toughness, but his passer rating of 85.0 ranks 12th in the AFC, and Kubiak said its time for the first-year starter to step up his game.Oddly, Kubiak was unaware of the team putting the Super Bowl trophies in the locker room. Reporters informed him players had been sharing snapshots of the Lombardi trophies on social media before practice.Well, its good that theres some in this building, Kubiak said. Those things dont do you any good right now. Its a new year, new battle. I think this teams really excited, coaches, organization, everybody. Were there. Six weeks to play, a lot of big football games to play in.Wolfe, however, said the shiny trophies were a stark reminder that hit home for plenty of players.Everybody gets caught up in their own (business) day to day, Wolfe said.
