Well, looks like the Denver Broncos are playing it safe across the board on a short week with five players out, including center Luke Wattenberg. We kind of assumed Pat Bryant and Dre Greenlaw would be out due to the short turnaround, but with little to now news around Wattenberg it was hard to ascertain the severity of the shoulder injury. That will be something to monitor closely next week.
The good news is Justin Strnad appears to be ready to go and is available in a timely way with Greenlaw now officially ruled out. Having Ben Powers back fully...

Merry Christmas Eve, Ultimate Fans! I come bearing gifts as rupnin38 is back to get the team — and us — “into the right head space” to beat a very beatable Chiefs team before the all-important Week 18 game that could decide the AFC West as well as the No. 1 seed overall.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Right now the Broncos have a a Mahomes-less Chiefs team to beat, but they have to do it at Arrowhead, so it may not be as easy as we hope. Either way, this squad needs a bounce-back game and our...

The Denver Broncos (12-3) are reeling from a home upset on Sunday that derailed their 11-game win streak. They turn the page quickly, however, with a road game on Christmas night against the Kansas City Chiefs (6-9). With the Chiefs down to their third-string quarterback, the Broncos have a chance to get right back on track with extra time to prepare for a critical Week 18 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Kickoff is set for 6:15 p.m. Mile High time on Thursday, December 25, 2025 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. You can watch the...

The Denver Broncos will look to turn the page quickly on their tough loss a few days ago with a road win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas night. The Chiefs are down to their third string quarterback and have nothing left to play for. This is a game the Broncos should win and if they don’t, then the real questions begin.
We’re pretty confident that this won’t be the case. The Broncos should coast to victory like they did against Kansas City in the final game of last season when they were resting starters instead of being long-eliminated...

For the first time since September, the Denver Broncos (12-3) suffered a loss.
Now they’ll look to get back in the win column when they travel to take on the Kansas City Chiefs (6-9) on Christmas night. And while the loss was disappointing, everything is still in front of Bo Nix and the Broncos. It starts with a rebound win at Arrowhead Stadium.
Since the Chiefs will be down to their third-string quarterback, FanDuel Sportsbook has Denver as the huge -12.5-point favorites. The total sits at over/under 36.5 points.
Denver: Tenth in total offense (352.1 yards per...

The Denver Broncos came out and laid a giant dud on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Though they’ll get to turn the page quickly with a road game on Christmas night against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Offensively, they just couldn’t get the job done on third downs. The run game was lacking and Bo Nix was off his game after a fairly good start. That combined with a defensive game plan that fell apart in the second half led to the Broncos having their 11-game win streak ended.
Not all is lost, though. They are still in control of their...

After dropping their Week 16 matchup to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Denver Broncos are looking forward to getting back on track versus the Kansas City Chiefs. This is a must-win game for the Broncos who control their own destiny relative to the AFC West title and #1 seed in the AFC. Here are three players I believe need to play at a high level in order to defeat the Chiefs on Christmas.
There weren’t many positives from the Broncos’ loss to the Jaguars. It was a reality check for most every player on the...

That was honestly a surprising game to see the Denver Broncos play. The Jacksonville Jaguars beat our team soundly in every facet of the game by and large. Their coaches out-coached ours. Their players wanted the win way worse and played fast and hungry. Credit to the Jaguars for coming into Denver and laying a whooping on this team the likes of which we haven’t seen this season.
For Broncos Country, let’s not overreact to this. I honestly think a loss late in the season for a high-win team is good. Good teams use a loss like this to temper...

There is not much changed from Monday’s practice report for either team. The Denver Broncos statuses are all the same as Monday was an estimation anyway. I think we can assume all of the DNP guys might not play on Thursday night, though we’ll have to see about center Luke Wattenberg. The Kansas City Chiefs only had one change today from their estimation report yesterday, so not much new going on here.
Here is your full practice report for Tuesday.

Well, that was a frustrating game to watch.
Missed opportunities, self-inflicted wounds, and an abysmal bit of officiating spelled disaster for the Denver Broncos on Sunday. But it wasn’t all bad. There were plenty of individual performances that shined through the darkness, and that includes Quinn Meinerz, who should be revered as at least a top-two offensive guard in the league/ I don’t think that he’s number two though.
Let’s wash this bad taste out of our mouths by enjoying the succulent Chinese meal that was Quinn Meinerz against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Broncos had 65 offensive...

Power rankings are funny. You can always tell the difference between those who are unbiased and those who are just waiting to hate on your team’s success. Ironically, its those who put them #1 last week that dropped them the hardest this week, while those who tried to fairly rank them are left pretty much unchanged. Funny how that works out.
Not much changes for the Denver Broncos after their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars anyway. They are still the AFC’s number one seed and have various clinching scenarios again this week. All they need to concern themselves with is...

The NFL has announced the 2026 Pro Bowl roster and the Denver Broncos were one of the teams that led the way with six players selected. There was an even split between offense and defense. It was the trenches that carried the day too.
