Vic Fangio believes he "absolutely" deserves to remain as head coach of the Denver Broncos in 2022.

Fangio is in the third year of the four-year deal he signed when he was hired in 2019. 

The Broncos were in the playoff picture at 6-5 but has lost three of their past four games.

"Absolutely," he said when asked about 2022. "Just the direct, short answer there, absolutely."

Fangio is 19-28 in three seasons with the Broncos, but this is the first season he has worked with general manager George Paton, who was hired in January.
