Week 18 was the first time in about three months that Ben Powers took every rep at left guard. The Broncos handled his return from the IR well, having him split reps with Alex Palczewski the last couple of weeks before fully taking back his spot against Los Angeles. And since he returned to the field a couple of weeks ago, he’s been good. He’s had a handful of poor plays, some which have put his team into bad positions, including TFLs and sacks.

But this is to be expected when you’re knocking the rust off. The real question is...

One of the biggest reasons that the Denver Broncos have the #1 seed in the AFC and 14 wins under their belt is due to the way their defense operates.

This week, I’ve been really appreciating the opportunity to cheer for our team in home games in the playoffs. I think, like many fans in Broncos Country, the accomplishment shines bright after so many years of this team wandering in the desert.

This team has not only made the playoffs, but in a way dominated their season. 14 wins is a very tough number to achieve in the NFL.

So...

According to NFL Network league insider Tom Pelissero, the Las Vegas Raiders have requested permission to interview Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach/pass game coordinator Davis Webb for their vacant head coaching position. This is Webb’s first head coaching interview, but the talented young coach is viewed as an up-and-comer in the NFL.

The Raiders will now interview two key Denver Broncos coaches for their head coaching position.

Davis Webb is a former third-round selection by the New York Giants in the 2017 NFL Draft. He would play for the Giants, Jets, and Bills during his playing career before retiring after the...

According to ESPN’s lead NFL insider, Adam Schefter, Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is expected to interview for the Las Vegas Raiders, Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants, and Tennessee Titans head coaching vacancies this week.

These will be virtual meetings for now, but the Broncos’ defensive coach has a busy week ahead while his team enjoys its one-seed bye week.

Both the Raiders and Cardinals fired their head coaches on Monday, while the Giants and Titans made their moves during the season. Joseph figures to be a strong candidate for all four of these jobs, and if he interviews...

Of the top 16 teams in points allowed (the top half of the league) 12 of them made the playoffs, but how do they compare in other defensive stats?

The Broncos, Seahawks and Texans have the three best overall defenses in the league and all three made the playoffs. I have argued that the Bronco and Seahawk defenses are the main reason that both teams got the #1 seed in their respective conferences.

The Bronco defense finished first in yards per play allowed at 4.46 while the Seahawks were a distant second at 4.56. The Texans, Eagles and Jags also...

Let’s start this off with a big Mile High Salute to the 2025 Denver Broncos team. I’m so proud to see this team put in the hard work from top to bottom to get the #1 seed in the AFC.

THIS is what Broncos’ football looks like. I was spoiled as a fan getting to watch the Broncos constantly be in the hunt for Super Bowls and many seasons of playoff appearances. My personal take has always been: make the playoffs, and I’m a happy fan. I want to see my team have a chance at it all. If they...

Good morning, No. 1 seed Broncos Country!

What a start to the new year — 14 wins, the No. 1 seed, an upcoming bye week because of it, a defense with the most sacks in the NFL and a QB that keeps getting it done however it has to be done.

No doubt the victory against the Chargers was a “boring win” with no offensive touchdowns, but the Broncos are taking W all the way to the divisional round so who really cares?

Probably Sean Payton, actually.

“Absolutely,” he said about getting over his team’s red zone issues because...

The Denver Broncos tied a franchise record with 14 regular season wins (tied with the 1998 team that won the Super Bowl). The defense set a new franchise record for sacks with 68. They also had the best sack percentage since 1971. Sack rates were much higher back then because there were so many fewer passes thrown.

The 71 Bronco defense had 43.5 sacks in 14 games. Opponents had 356 total passing attempts against them that season or 25 per game. So those 43.5 sacks resulted in a sack percentage of 11.0%. The 2025 Broncos got to double digits with...

With their 19-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18, the Denver Broncos took care of business to earn the top seed in the AFC and all the perks that come with that. It’s the second time in franchise history they have notched 14 wins in a season. The regular season is over, and the Broncos have two weeks to prepare for the lowest seed that makes it out of the Wildcard Round.

After years of struggling, the franchise is finally back to their winning ways. They’ve drafted well and have tremendous new ownership. However, there is no...

So it begins.

According to the NFL Network’s lead league insider, the Tennessee Titans have requested to interview Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph for their vacant head coaching position. This will be the first of many requests coming in for the Broncos’ defensive coach.

The Tennessee Titans fired Brian Callahan back in October and are not wasting anytime to get the ball rolling with interviews. They requested to interview Chiefs’ offensive coordinator Matt Nagy already, and now, they’re requesting to interview Vance Joseph.

Vance Joseph was the Denver Broncos head coach from 2017 through the 2018 season, and things...

While the Denver Broncos will not be looking for a new Head Coach this offseason (thank you, Sean Payton), multiple coaches on their current staff will be candidates for jobs elsewhere during this hiring cycle.

The biggest name we will be tracking is defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. He returned to the Broncos three seasons ago, and after a rough start early on, has turned this Broncos defense into one of the best units in the NFL over the past two seasons. His defense will lead the NFL in sacks for a second straight year, and Joseph figures to be a...
