The Broncos nearly fumbled the win, as they squandered a 17-point lead entering the fourth quarter with Los Angeles outscoring Denver in the final period, 14-0.

Before agreeing to a deal with Denver to coach the team back in January, Joseph spent time as a defensive coordinator with the Miami Dolphins last year. He also held defensive backs coach jobs for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Houston Texans.

Joseph went undrafted in the 1995 NFL Draft but found his way into playing 17 games in the league with the New York Jets and the Indianapolis Colts.
