Almost any NFL team that wins five straight games has to do a lot of things well and also catch a little bit of luck along the way.Such was the case for the Broncos between Oct. 19 and Sunday, when they reeled off victories in all kinds of ways — last-second heart-stoppers, grind-it-out slugfests and convincingly powerful wins against Kansas City and Cleveland.Perhaps underrated as a strong point for Sean Payton’s team in that run: The Broncos jumped out to a lead in all five games, allowing themselves to play from ahead and, thus, play exactly how they wanted to.They led Green Bay 9-0, Kansas City 7-0 (and 14-3), Buffalo 9-0,  Minnesota 3-0 and Cleveland 14-0. The only points the Broncos surrendered in the first quarter came on a field goal from Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker and only the Vikings led at all in the first half.The defense otherwise had come out of the gates humming, and the offense more or less figured out a way to put at least some points on the board early in games....
