After days and days of football but no Broncos games, it feels like forever since we’ve gotten to watch our favorite team. But absence makes the heart grow fonder, so what a way to finish out the Thanksgiving Weekend than the team in Orange and Blue getting to entertain us once again. And while this matchup should not be the tough competition it seemed it would be at the start of the season, it still serves as the perfect tool-sharpening game for Bo Nix and the offense, a chance to pad those sack stats for the defense and a great...

The Denver Broncos are back from their bye and ready to take on the Jayden Daniels-less Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football. It’s a game that Denver is expected to win and that can sometimes spring a trap on overconfident teams. At 9-2, the Broncos do need this game to keep pace with the New England Patriots in the AFC. So hopefully we get one of those fun games from start to finish like the one they had against the Dallas Cowboys a month ago.

The Denver Broncos are 9-2 and sit atop of the AFC West. It’s the most success they have endured in years and are in the hunt for the top playoff seed in the AFC. This weekend, they battle the Washington Commanders in primetime on Sunday Night Football. Here are three players I believe need to play at a high level in order for the Broncos to come away with a victory against the Commanders.
Earlier this week, the Broncos extended center Luke Wattenberg giving him a four-year deal worth up to $48 million dollars. Wattenberg...

This is a big week of college football. Week 14 marks Rivalry Week at the FBS level. Meanwhile in the FCS, the first round of their playoffs begins today. There is no shortage of great games today with many having a tremendous impact on how things shake up in the remaining weeks at both levels. With that in mind, I’ll discuss some of my favorite games on deck today and name a few prospects from each team that may be of interest to the Denver Broncos in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Since 2020, the NFL changed its format to squeeze in a seventh playoff team in each conference. Since then, having the number one seed became even more important. In year’s past, two teams would have a bye in the playoffs and now it is down to one.
The Super Bowl has had at least one team who was the top seed in all but one of the five games since the playoff format. It is something that head coach Sean Payton is thinking about with six games to go.
“Analytically, in the 25 years of the [No.] 1 and 2...

The Denver Broncos (9-2) will come out of their bye week on the road and in prime time on Sunday Night Football to take on the Washington Commanders (3-8). The AFC is pretty tight at the top, so the Broncos must keep the win streak going to keep pace and challenge for that one seed and all-important homefield advantage. They cannot afford to drop a game to the Commanders.
Kickoff is set for 6:20 p.m. Mile High time on Sunday, November 30, 2025 at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. You can watch the live stream of the game through FuboTV...

Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders were the surprise team of the season a year ago.
The rookie quarterback took the NFL by storm and led the Commanders to an appearance in the NFC Championship game. That was due to one of the biggest playoff upsets in recent memory when Washington beat the Detroit Lions on the road.
Fast-forward to today, and the Commanders have fallen off. Entering Week 13, Washington is 3-8 and will miss the playoffs. The Commanders have faced injuries, namely to Daniels, and they just haven’t looked like the same team. Now, Washington faces one of...

I missed yesterday’s update. I had planned to get it out, but the food was too good and the drinks were flowing. The most significant update yesterday was that cornerback Pat Surtain progressed from limited to full. He is most certainly making his return Sunday night.
The Denver Broncos will also see the return of Alex Singleton to the lineup after his cancer scare, but it looks like Jonah Elliss may not quite be ready to go with a hamstring issue he is dealing with. Tight end Nate Adkins does not appear to be close to making a return.

The NFL got quite a good slate of games on Thanksgiving. That isn’t always the case, so to see three really fun games on that day was a real treat… though not sure about the Ravens-Bengals game as I was in a food coma for a big chunk of it. That said, we should get another treat today on Black Friday between the 8-3 Chicago Bears and the 8-3 Philadelphia Eagles. The two NFC contenders should give us a pretty good game.

Taking on the Washington Commanders on the road for Sunday Night Football.

The Denver Broncos are coming out of their bye flying high atop the AFC West having defeated Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago. They’ll now be on the road in prime time against the 3-8 Washington Commanders. This is a game the Broncos should win, but they’ve tended to play down to opponents that they are expected to defeat. Will that trend continue here in Week 13?
According to FanDuel, the Broncos are 4.5-point road favorites against the Commanders in Week 13. The over/under stands at 43.5 for this matchup.

On paper, this matchup is the worth of the Thanksgiving Day bunch, but with the return of Joe Burrow it makes the game a little more interesting. At 3-8, the Cincinnati Bengals season is over, but they can still do some damage to the 6-5 Baltimore Ravens who are fighting to stay in the AFC playoff mix with six games to go.
Kickoff is set for Thursday, November 27, 2025 at 6:20 p.m. Mile High time at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland and will air on NBC.
According to FanDuel, the Ravens are huge 7-point favorites...
