According to ESPN’s lead NFL insider, Adam Schefter, Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is expected to interview for the Las Vegas Raiders, Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants, and Tennessee Titans head coaching vacancies this week.
These will be virtual meetings for now, but the Broncos’ defensive coach has a busy week ahead while his team enjoys its one-seed bye week.
Both the Raiders and Cardinals fired their head coaches on Monday, while the Giants and Titans made their moves during the season. Joseph figures to be a strong candidate for all four of these jobs, and if he interviews...

Of the top 16 teams in points allowed (the top half of the league) 12 of them made the playoffs, but how do they compare in other defensive stats?
The Broncos, Seahawks and Texans have the three best overall defenses in the league and all three made the playoffs. I have argued that the Bronco and Seahawk defenses are the main reason that both teams got the #1 seed in their respective conferences.
The Bronco defense finished first in yards per play allowed at 4.46 while the Seahawks were a distant second at 4.56. The Texans, Eagles and Jags also...

Let’s start this off with a big Mile High Salute to the 2025 Denver Broncos team. I’m so proud to see this team put in the hard work from top to bottom to get the #1 seed in the AFC.
THIS is what Broncos’ football looks like. I was spoiled as a fan getting to watch the Broncos constantly be in the hunt for Super Bowls and many seasons of playoff appearances. My personal take has always been: make the playoffs, and I’m a happy fan. I want to see my team have a chance at it all. If they...

What a start to the new year — 14 wins, the No. 1 seed, an upcoming bye week because of it, a defense with the most sacks in the NFL and a QB that keeps getting it done however it has to be done.
No doubt the victory against the Chargers was a “boring win” with no offensive touchdowns, but the Broncos are taking W all the way to the divisional round so who really cares?
Probably Sean Payton, actually.
“Absolutely,” he said about getting over his team’s red zone issues because...

The Denver Broncos tied a franchise record with 14 regular season wins (tied with the 1998 team that won the Super Bowl). The defense set a new franchise record for sacks with 68. They also had the best sack percentage since 1971. Sack rates were much higher back then because there were so many fewer passes thrown.
The 71 Bronco defense had 43.5 sacks in 14 games. Opponents had 356 total passing attempts against them that season or 25 per game. So those 43.5 sacks resulted in a sack percentage of 11.0%. The 2025 Broncos got to double digits with...

With their 19-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18, the Denver Broncos took care of business to earn the top seed in the AFC and all the perks that come with that. It’s the second time in franchise history they have notched 14 wins in a season. The regular season is over, and the Broncos have two weeks to prepare for the lowest seed that makes it out of the Wildcard Round.
After years of struggling, the franchise is finally back to their winning ways. They’ve drafted well and have tremendous new ownership. However, there is no...

So it begins.
According to the NFL Network’s lead league insider, the Tennessee Titans have requested to interview Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph for their vacant head coaching position. This will be the first of many requests coming in for the Broncos’ defensive coach.
The Tennessee Titans fired Brian Callahan back in October and are not wasting anytime to get the ball rolling with interviews. They requested to interview Chiefs’ offensive coordinator Matt Nagy already, and now, they’re requesting to interview Vance Joseph.
Vance Joseph was the Denver Broncos head coach from 2017 through the 2018 season, and things...

While the Denver Broncos will not be looking for a new Head Coach this offseason (thank you, Sean Payton), multiple coaches on their current staff will be candidates for jobs elsewhere during this hiring cycle.
The biggest name we will be tracking is defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. He returned to the Broncos three seasons ago, and after a rough start early on, has turned this Broncos defense into one of the best units in the NFL over the past two seasons. His defense will lead the NFL in sacks for a second straight year, and Joseph figures to be a...

After 17-regular season games, an AFC West crown, and sitting with the best record in the AFC, the Denver Broncos have shown the world that they have come to play in 2025. It’s not always pretty, but the grit and drive of this squad is undeniable. Regardless of the unit, offense, defense, special teams, Denver’s ability to dig deep to find a way to win is their orange and blue hallmark of this playoff season.
Offensively, the Broncos can move the ball. The running game is more effective than it’s been in year’s past with Harvey, McLaughlin, and Badie. Troy...

The 2025 NFL regular season is now complete, and we’re heading into wildcard weekend, where we will see which team advances to the divisional round to take on the Denver Broncos. Wildcard weekend features multiple big games, and the time and date of these games have been announced.
Since the Broncos clinched the number one seed in the AFC, they will play the lowest remaining seed in the divisional round. On Saturday, the 6th-seeded Buffalo Bills will take on the 3rd-seeded Jacksonville Jaguars, and the 7th-seeded Los Angeles Chargers will take on the 2nd-seeded New England Patriots. Finally, on Monday...

The Denver Broncos are AFC West champions and are one game away from potentially clinching the top seed in the AFC, which would cap a heck of a three-year turnaround in the mile high city. To get there, they will have played six of their 17 games against 2025 playoff teams. And those games don’t even include the two against the long-eliminated Kansas City Chiefs.
If we based this years’ schedule off of who were playoff teams last season, then they would have faced nine games against playoff teams. I shared that tidbit, because the 2026 schedule suggests the Broncos...

The Denver Broncos defeated the Los Angeles Chargers to improve to 14-3 on the year and have officially clinched the number one seed in the AFC and, more importantly, have homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.
Playoff football and the road to the Super Bowl will go through Mile High.
As for the game, it wasn’t the prettiest contest. The Broncos’ offense did not play well, and it appeared they had a very simple and vanilla gameplan for this one. Still, they did not play well, but I expect a better effort from this team in two weeks. As for the...
