According to NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, the Denver Broncos have fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi.

This comes as a bit of a surprise, as Lombardi has been one of Sean Payton’s most trusted coaches in recent seasons. Could this mean that the Broncos are making a play to keep offensive pass game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Davis Webb? He is a favorite for the Las Vegas Raiders head coaching job so it’ll be interesting to see how that plays out.

We will have more on this developing story shortly.

According to ESPN’s lead NFL insider, Adam Schefter, Denver Broncos assistant head coach/defensive pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard is expected to be the leading candidate to be the Buffalo Bills’ defensive coordinator.

The Bills promoted Joe Brady to head coach earlier today, and it appears he wants to add Leonhard to his staff to be his defensive coordinator in Buffalo.

Leonhard has been a popular defensive coordinator candidate during this coaching cycle. He had interviews and/or reported interest from the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets, Green Bay Packers, and others. Now, he is expected to land with...

Veteran running back JK Dobbins signed a one-year deal with the Broncos this offseason and was a big part of their offense this season until he suffered a Lisfranc injury in the middle of the year. This injury would sideline Dobbins for the rest of the season, and despite some optimism for a return, he would be sidelined throughout the AFC Championship Game as well.

Despite a disappointing end to his year, Dobbins enjoyed his one season with the Broncos and told reporters on Monday that he thinks he is a “Bronco for life” and wants to re-sign with the...

Going into this game, I postulated keys to the game for both the offense and defense. The Broncos, by my count, hit one out of three on both sides of the ball. Their failure to execute at a high level, coupled with the loss of Bo Nix, meant their eventual downfall.

I was sniffing hopium along with the rest of Broncos Country in the week leading up to this game. We were hyped about Stidham. We believed in this team. We ate up the optimism being spouted by Sean Payton like it was sweet candy.

But a perfect storm was...

After their AFC Championship game loss to the New England Patriots, the Denver Broncos find themselves on the sidelines and back to the proverbial drawing board. It was a remarkable season for the Broncos. Getting back to the top of the AFC West and earning the number one seed after ten years is nothing to be upset about. Though coming up short against New England certainly changes a bit of the perspective one may have on their efforts in 2025 and leave them wanting for more.

Now it’s offseason mode for the Broncos. They will have free agency and the...

The Denver Broncos found themselves on the wrong side of the scoreboard in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots. Suffering a heartbreaking 10-7 loss, the Broncos are now back to the proverbial drawing board. This offseason, they will attempt to figure out what went wrong in the franchise’s biggest game in a decade—and try and fix the miscues and mistakes that hampered their 2025 campaign.

So close, yet so far away. Earning a division title is nice. And it’s safe to say this was a successful season all things considered. Unfortunately, coming up short against the Patriots...

Good morning, Broncos Country!

Our one day to mourn the Broncos’ frustrating loss to the Patriots — and along with it another trip to the Super Bowl — has come and gone, and it’s time to move on.

But before we — and the team — do that, it’s important to remember this feeling.

And use it.

“I expect it to fuel me just the same as the Buffalo loss last year, if not more,” Jonathan Cooper said on Monday. “Honestly because being that close, not getting there, just sets a fire in you. I’m not going to let...

The Denver Broncos announced today that they have signed six players to future deals. Those six players are tight end Caleb Lohner, running back Deuce Vaughn, linebacker Levelle Bailey, running back Cody Schrader, offensive linemen Calvin Throckmorton, and nose tackle Jordan Miller.

All six of these players were on the Broncos’ practice squad and now will be on the roster as the team heads into the offseason.

Tight End Caleb Lohner

The Denver Broncos drafted tight end Caleb Lohner in the 7th round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He is a former basketball player who played one year of college...

The Monday after a playoff loss stinks. It always does. That said, we still need to move on. And frankly, I haven’t been this optimistic about heading into an offseason since the Peyton Manning era. In fact, I would say this offseason is likely the most important offseason since 2014.

Luca Evans of the Denver Post shared a few quotes from Garett Bolles today that highlighted an important fact that was as true in 2014 as it may be today: free agents want to come play for Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos.

He began with the emotional pain of...

On Sunday, the Denver Broncos were bested by the New England Patriots, 10-7 in the AFC Championship. There was plenty to be mad at if you’re a Broncos fan, the inability to contain a scrambling Drake Maye, dropped passes, and missed field goals didn’t help. What doomed the Broncos on Sunday wasn’t any of that, it was poor in-game decisions that sent the Broncos packing and the Patriots to the Super Bowl.

The most glaring ‘oops’ of the game was Sean Payton’s decision to go for it on 4th down instead of kicking the field goal to take a 10-point...

With the Broncos eliminated from the postseason, teams can now have in-person interviews and hire coaches from their staff. While many believed defensive coordinator Vance Joseph would be highly sought after, Broncos passing game coordinator/QB coach Davis Webb is the one teams are eager to interview.

According to ESPN’s lead NFL insider, Adam Schefter, the Las Vegas Raiders are expected to meet this week with Davis Webb regarding their head coaching vacancy. He adds that the Buffalo Bills also want to meet with Webb, but had to wait until the Broncos’ season was over. With their loss to the Patriots,...
