Mile High Report
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.

Collectively, our Mile High Report staff is predicting a Broncos 28-13 prime time road win over the Commanders. Here’s how each of us predicted things would go individually:
One remaining concern I have about this team is how they play up or down to their opponents. That’s a dangerous game in the NFL, but so far they have come out on top in each of those close games. Will that trend continue against a Commanders team that has had their season derailed by injury? Or will the Broncos dominate from start to finish like they did against the Cowboys and Bengals? For now, I’m cautiously optimistic. I’ll give them a solid win, but not a blowout win. – Tim Lynch
Maybe I’m more bullish on the Broncos than I should be. Nevertheless, they are sporting a 9-2 record and coming off a bye. That should bode well for them in their Sunday Night Football matchup against the Commanders. Washington will be without Jayden Daniels and their defense has really struggled this season. I believe the Broncos are poised to earn themselves a decisive victory to get their tenth win of the season. I’m very confident Denver will have a great performance in primetime. – Chris Hart
This should be an ideal opponent to get after following a bye. The Commanders are still without their starting quarterback, don’t have a reliable run game, and their defense has struggled most of the season. And I’m pretty optimistic about the way the rest of the season looks for Denver. We saw what that mini-bye week did for them following their Thursday night game against the Raiders when they knocked off the Chiefs. Hopefully a full-bye week produces even more results. As long as they get this JK Dobbins-less rushing attack sorted, things look very good. – Ross Allen
The Broncos are too disciplined from top to bottom to get trapped after a bye by a team starting Marcus Mariota. Our defense will be far too much for the Commanders to handle. The offense is going to get a good look at how they can...
