ENGLEWOOD, COLO. (AP) -- Ben McDaniels got his first big break because of his big brother. Now, those bloodlines might prove a burden.
The NFL future of the Denver Broncos' 30-year-old quarterbacks coach was thrown into question this month when Josh McDaniels was fired Dec. 6 with the team mired in a slump on the field and controversy off it.
When he was promoted to tutor the quarterbacks less than a year ago, the younger McDaniels said he wasn't shy of the tag "Josh's little brother," and he insisted Friday that hasn't changed.
Ben McDaniels said he won't try to separate himself professionally from his family ties and maintained his only concern right now is preparing Kyle Orton, Tim Tebow and Brady Quinn for the final three games.
