Broncos special teams coach Brock Olivo says deserved after last week's meltdown.

The Denver Broncos’ offense has taken a lot of blame for their five-game losing streak.

Think of all those brain cells wasted on pre-game analysis.

The good news is, Broncos special teams coach Brock Olivo has promised to fix the persistent problems. Oh wait, that was last Friday when he said that. The first-year special teams coach has had a lot to explain for this season, but Sunday's loss to the Patriots might have brought a new low.

On Monday, coach Vance Joseph told reporters that he maintains full confidence in Denver Broncos special teams coach Brock Olivo following Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots.
