ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Josh McDaniels and his videographer have been fired, Denver is abuzz with hope that John Elway will gain a greater role with the Broncos as a chief football executive, and interim coach Eric Studesville exudes enthusiasm.

But that dark cloud that hung over the fractured franchise hasn't dissipated just yet, quarterback Kyle Orton insisted.

Orton said the only panacea for the Broncos' many problems is winning games, something they haven't done a lot of lately.

The Broncos travel to Arizona for a matchup of 3-9 teams on Sunday.
