What a game.
It was FAR from the Broncos’ best effort, but in the end, they still found a way to come away with the victory. The Commanders, led by backup quarterback Marcus Mariota, had the Broncos on the brink of losing. He led a game-tying drive at the end of the 4th quarter and had a touchdown drive in overtime, and was a 2-point conversion away from the upset.
However, Nik Bonitto Dikembe Mutombo’d Mariota’s pass, and the Broncos leave Washington with the victory.
As for the winners and losers, it was a sloppy game on both sides of...

The Denver Broncos squared off against the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football. Coming off a bye, I was expecting a dominant performance by the Broncos. In fact, most of the staff also felt Denver was poised for a decisive victory. However, things didn’t go as we had all thought.
Instead, it was another gritty and hard-fought battle that made its way to overtime. When it mattered most, the Broncos rose to the occasion and defeated the Commanders 27-26. Here are some instant reactions and takeaways from tonight’s game.

For whatever reason, the Denver Broncos continue to play up or down to their competition in almost every game this season. I’ll chalk it up to them being a young, inexperience team, but boy is it frustrating to watch as a fan. This week was the week that the defense finally struggled for an entire game. They still kept points off the board in key areas, but in a close game the Washington Commanders were able to move the ball at will late in the fourth quarter to tie things up and send the game into overtime.
The defense was...

The Denver Broncos will look to become just the second team to double-digit wins on the season with a road win on Sunday Night Football over the Washington Commanders. This is a game they must have to keep pace in the AFC. Can the Broncos continue to prove their doubters wrong?
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 or on NBC. The game will be called by Mike Tirico (play-by-play), Cris Collinsworth (analyst), and Melissa Stark...

The recent mainstays for the Denver Broncos on the inactives reports each week are no longer on it. Pat Surtain II and Alex Singleton will both be active and starting in tonight’s game against the Washington Commanders. Safety Talanoa Hufanga was a late addition to the injury report with an illness. His status was was uncertain heading into the game, but him being active is a great sign.
Both Nate Adkins and Jonah Elliss are the two remaining guys who would typically be on the active roster but are still rehabbing from injury. For the Washington Commanders, they are still...

Week 13 continues with the afternoon games as we wait for the Denver Broncos tonight!
With so few games, I often merge these discussion threads into the early game window, but two of three are games we should be paying attention to. Ideally, the Chargers choke and lose to the Raiders. I’m not counting on that and neither are any of you, though. The real game to watch is the Bills and Steelers. I’ll be pulling for the Steelers here as the Bills can become one of the most dangerous teams in the NFL at any moment and I’d prefer...

Welcome to Week 13 of the regular season!
Well, I guess Thanksgiving welcomed us already with four games already out of the way by the time Sunday rolled around. Thankfully, the Kansas City Chiefs took another blow to their playoff hopes and I would love to see that trend continue. The NFL deserves a fresh playoff field for 2025.
For the early game slot, the only game of real interest is that AFC South showdown between the Texans and Colts. I haven’t quite figured out who I want to root for. I’m leaning Texans because the Colts let us down...

Bo Nix, Sean Payton, and the Denver Broncos are in uncharted territory.
It’s been 10 years since the Broncos were in this position. Not only sitting atop the AFC West standings, but also fighting for the top seed in the AFC playoffs. With that comes homefield advantage and the bye.
Denver heads east to face the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football at 9-2 and everything within reach.
How does Payton balance keeping the Broncos focused on the task at hand and not looking ahead while also knowing the outcome if they continue winning games?...

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.
