The veteran works with his defensive coordinator to find creative ways to blow up the pocket.

The undefeated Kansas City Chiefs head into their next matchup knowing the defense will play a key role in beating the Denver Broncos. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix has been a stable signal-caller to lead Denver to a 5-4 record.

He has yet to play against the chaos and disruption that defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo can bring, especially with defensive tackle Chris Jones leading the way. Jones’ 3.0 sacks and nine quarterback hits this year have come in a variety of ways, and he gets...

Who do you got in Week 10?

The Las Vegas Raiders have reached their bye week and I’ve started to rebound when it comes to picking their games.

After starting 0-5 predicting the outcome of the Silver and Black’s games, I’ve hit on four straight outcomes as the Raiders sit at 2-7 and have lost five straight games.

As the Raiders reset at their bye week, let’s continue our Saturday tradition of predicting games by calling the rest of the AFC West action:

The Chiefs are playing with fire and the...

Broncos get the Chiefs, Chargers play the Titans, while the Raiders lose their bye week

This week’s AFC West Watch is a short one. The Denver Broncos play in Kansas City against the Chiefs. The Los Angeles Chargers take on the Tennessee Titans, while the Las Vegas get a bye.

So, not much to cover, but I do like making the obligatory, “Raiders lose their bye week” joke.

What’s really at stake here is the battle for second place in the division. The Chargers currently hold that spot. It could happen. The Broncos pull the upset and the Chargers fall...

The Broncos enter Week 10 with one of the best pass rushes in football.

The Kansas City Chiefs will play the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday — a matchup that will pit the undefeated Chiefs against the 5-4 Broncos.

The Broncos are having their best season in quite some time, and their defense has been a big part of that. The Broncos rank second in the NFL in yards allowed per play at 4.7, and they are also second in sacks at 31, as well as fourth in pressure percentage at 12.7%.

The Broncos don’t have a true...

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve highlighted prospect to watch for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. With the college football season in full swing and hitting Week 11, let’s go back to that for Future Broncos.

I’ve been doing my best to target players from each position and there are a few groups I’ve been light on. Without further ado, here are three prospects to watch for Week 11 of the College Football season.

T.J. Sanders, Defensive Lineman — South Carolina Gamecocks

One area the Broncos’ defense has improved this season is their play in the trenches. Zach Allen,...

Win or lose, the Denver Broncos chances of making the playoffs this year will change significantly depending on the outcome vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.

All games in the NFL are critically important most weeks, but few will reach the level of importance for the Denver Broncos than this next one on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs. According to Pro Football Focus, Denver’s chances of making the playoffs if they will will jump to 72%. However, a loss and they plummet to 42%.

Oh, and by the way, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are undefeated right now.

Despite...

The Denver Broncos face a daunting task ahead of them. This weekend, they’ll face the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs, who are on a quest to become the first-ever NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls. Enter rookie quarterback Bo Nix, who hopes to snap their undefeated streak.

One of the reasons the Chiefs remain undefeated is their dominant defense, led by defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. Unfortunately for the Broncos, Spagnuolo’s defense does have a knack for chewing up and spitting out rookie quarterbacks. Since joining the Chiefs in 2019, Spagnuolo and his defense have faced 14 rookie quarterbacks. His...

Can Bo Nix pass his way out of Arrowhead stadium against the Chiefs?

The big tests continue for the Denver Broncos in Week 10. After a tough loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Denver goes on the road again to play the Kansas City Chiefs.

Sitting at 5-4, and 3rd in the AFC West, Sean Payton’s team is in the toughest stretch of games the Broncos will have all season. And what we should all know is this test will be important, but not the end of the season.

As Ian St. Clair and I discussed on Odds and Endzones, the...

The Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs have released their final injury reports ahead of their game this Sunday.

The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs have released their final injury reports ahead of their divisional matchup this Sunday. Both teams enter this game fairly healthy overall and only have a few players ruled out for this game.

For the Broncos, the only two players ruled out for the game are linebacker/edge rusher Drew Sanders and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell. Both players remain on the injured reserve and will not be activated off the injured reserve before Sunday’s game. Center...

The Chargers are once again poised to be without both their starting cornerbacks against the Titans.

For a second consecutive game, the Chargers will be without starting cornerback Kristian Fulton (hamstring) who is the only player listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Titans. Expect rookies Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart to each earn another start on the outside.

Six other players are included on the team’s final injury report. They are Joey Bosa (hip), Gus Edwards (ankle), Khalil Mack (groin), Denzel Perryman (toe), Trey Pipkins (ankle), and Stone Smartt (ankle).

The biggest name here to keep an...

Raider Nation is dealing with the losses by getting excited by the future

The Las Vegas Raiders are on a bye this week but have changed their coaching staff. They fired Luke Getsy, offensive line coach James Cregg, and quarterback coach Rich Scrangerllo.

Scott Turner was made the interim offensive coordinator, and his father, Norv Turner, was added. Antonio Pierce will attempt to turn around a sinking season without help.

However, the Raiders’ rookies are performing well. Jackson-Powers-Johnson debuted on Sunday at the center and received a 90.1 grade from PFF. Brock Bowers remains one of the best tight ends...

The Denver Broncos have released their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and the good news is that they’ll be fully healthy for the most part going into it. Can the Broncos find a way to end the Chiefs undefeated streak? Having a healthy roster helps.
