The Denver Broncos have their 11-game win streak ended in a brutal home loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was their first loss in 91 days. Three months. The streak ended tied for the second-longest in franchise history.
All of the things about the win streak are positive, but losing to the Jaguars is clearly not a positive. The Jags are now one game back from the Broncos for the race to the number one seed in the AFC, so there is no room for error with two games to play.
To get a sense of where people’s mindset is,...

With 11-games this season won in come from behind fashion, it was bound to catch up to the Broncos sooner or later. It’s easy to attribute Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars on a slow start, mistakes, or trigger happy referees-the same things that have plagued them all season. They weren’t able to get out of it this time.
Two games separate the regular season from the postseason. The Broncos needed this to remind themselves that miraculous, last-second victories are nothing to rely on. That may get you through the regular season, but in the playoffs, you can’t expect to thrive...

The AFC Playoff picture tightened up a bit in Week 16 with the Broncos falling to the Jaguars, the Chargers defeating the Cowboys, the Bills defeating the Browns, the Texans defeating the Raiders, and the Steelers defeating the Lions in a wild one that came down to the end in Detroit.
Despite their loss, the Broncos remain as the one seed in the AFC, but things are tight behind them. With a win tonight, the Patriots can move back to one game behind the Broncos for the 1 seed, while the Chargers are one back from the Broncos for the...

Well, that sucked.
The Broncos have their 11-game win streak snapped, and they lost their first home game since week 6 of last season. For the first time this season, the Broncos were outplayed and beaten easily. The Jaguars came into this game with a chip on their shoulder and proved they are the real deal in the AFC. Meanwhile, the Broncos played one of their worst games of the season. Sloppy play, penalties, drops, turnovers, and just poor play throughout led to this 14-point loss.
Despite this loss, the Broncos remain the one seed and lead the AFC West,...

Despite getting rocked at home by the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Denver Broncos will be favored by double-digits on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs. Though that is likely due to the Chiefs losing both Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew to ACL injuries, so Denver will face their third-string quarterback for this game.
According to FanDuel, the Broncos are 10.5-point road favorites over the Chiefs in Week 17. The over/under stands at 36.5 for this matchup.

The Denver Broncos hosted the roaring Jacksonville Jaguars in their Week 16 matchup. A gridiron battle of two division leaders, this one was expected to be a close and hard-fought matchup. It turned out to be the opposite, with the Jaguars throttling the Broncos 34-20 and ending their 11-game winning streak. Here are some instant reactions and key takeaways from today’s game.
Penalties, drops, and miscues plague Broncos’ offensive effort
Last week against the Green Bay Packers, Bo Nix and the offense had one of their most complete games of the season. In order to defeat the Jaguars, they needed...

Living on the edge eventually catches up to you and for the Denver Broncos it finally caught up to them in Week 16 after an 11-game win streak with the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars coming into Denver and punching the NFL’s best record holding team right in the mouth. It is a tough game to drop, but I feel better about the Broncos facing some adversity before the playoffs start just to remind them how it feels to come up short.
The question now is whether or not they can bounce back and close out the season with the number one...

The Denver Broncos (12-2) could go a long way to wrapping up the number one seed in the AFC with a win at home today over the Jacksonville Jaguars (10-4). A loss would bring all of that in doubt as there are multiple 10-4 teams to start this week and with just a one game lead with two games to go, it would make things quite stressful for this young Broncos’ team.
Kickoff is set for 2:05 p.m. Mile High time on Sunday, December 21, 2025 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. You can watch the [live...

The Denver Broncos won the opening coin toss and deferred to the second half to bring out Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars offense to start the game. Interestingly, the Jaguars only sent out former-Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick as their lone team captain on the coin toss.
Jonathon Cooper almost got a sack on the first play, but Lawrence was able to dump it off for an incompletion instead. Two plays later on third and four, Riley Moss chased Lawrence down for a sack to force a quick three-and-out. Denver wouldn’t do anything with their possession due to a...

For the Jacksonville Jaguars, they’ll be without RB Bhayshul Tuten, OL Chuma Edoga, TE Hunter Long, and DL’s Danny Striggow and Maason Smith.
Here are your gameday inactives for the Broncos-Jaguars game in Week 16.

Welcome to Week 16 of the regular season!
There are some games to root for in these early slots as the Denver Broncos prepare to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars this afternoon. The biggest one is to pull for the Cowboys at home against the Chargers. A Denver win and Chargers loss would give them the AFC West title. The other game to consider is the Browns over the Bills, but that seems fairly unlikely to happen. If you also particularly dislike the Chiefs, you should root for them to win to keep their draft position as bad as possible....

Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos have the best record in the NFL.
The Broncos are poised to win their first AFC West division title since 2015. They have a clear path to the No. 1 seed in the AFC Playoffs, and with it, home-field advantage and a bye.
Denver also knows it hasn’t accomplished jack squat yet. Despite all of that, the team must play its best and continue winning games.
As Broncos head coach Sean Payton said to the media this week:
“It’s an important game. There’ll be bigger. Same approach last...
