Phil Simms Praises Broncos: 'Solid Team, Great Foundation'

DENVER (CBS4) - Broadcaster Phil Simms, who is widely despised by many Broncos Fans, had a lot of praise for the team on Sunday at halftime.

"They gave them all they (could) in Kansas City and they're playing hard here today. It's a solid football team with a great foundation," he said during the CBS Sports broadcast of the Denver-Houston game.

Simms also said there shouldn't be any more talk of changing quarterbacks in Denver -- he's seeing good things from Case Keenum.

Wow! Phil Simms saying Denver plays hard all the time and are a solid team. I thought he hated the @Broncos? Mmmmm. #BroncosCountry
