The Denver Broncos have truly impressed during their 2025 campaign. With five games remaining in the regular season, to be going for their eleventh win certainly wasn’t something I had predicted. Nobody knows how the rest of the season will turn out, but I believe Denver’s success thus far gives them a lot of flexibility relative to how they approach roster building this spring.
When glossing over the Broncos roster, there aren’t many significant needs. The front office has done a tremendous job drafting and developing talent in recent years. Most importantly, they have rewarded a variety of homegrown players...

TEN AND TWO, BABY!! This Broncos team has won nine games in a row, and there’s no reason it shouldn’t win a tenth. But it is the Raiders, a division rivalry, and as our new UFGer, Broncs Cheer, points out…those games are their own animal. But as he also points out, the Raiders are a hot mess (yay!) and this should not be a hard game for Denver.
If you’ve been a fan long enough, however, you know that Denver doesn’t really do easy games. Quick side note, I was at last week’s game in D.C. and man, I haven’t...

A huge game for the Denver Broncos this week. Sure, the Las Vegas Raiders are just a two-win team, but with Denver needing every single win to keep pace in the AFC for the number one seed. This Raiders team gave them fits in their first meeting too, so this is by no means a gimmie for Bo Nix and the Broncos. If they can come out victorious, then they’ll retake the number one seed in the AFC for the week.

With just five games to go in the 2025 NFL regular season, the Denver Broncos are in a great position. Boasting a 10-2 record, the Broncos are in the hunt for AFC West division title and top playoff seed in the conference. This weekend, they head on the road to take on the Las Vegas Raiders. Here are three players I believe need to play at a high level in order for them to notch their eleventh win of the season.
There is no doubt Denver’s defense has been tremendous season thus far. The...

While the Denver Broncos defense had its first truly poor performance last week, they have been quite great all season long. At various times they’ve been compared to the 2015 Broncos’ defense. While I think that mantra is faded a bit, there is a key different with this defense and that one… depth. The 2015 defense had some quality depth at the edge, but it mostly relied on the starting group everywhere else. That isn’t the case in 2025.
The Broncos have quality depth at nearly every defensive position and nowhere is more impressive than along the defensive line. The...

The Denver Broncos (10-2) are riding high on a nine game win streak and will be on the road this week to take on the woeful Las Vegas Raiders (2-10). However, they better not take them lightly as they did a month ago when they nearly lost a home game 10-7 facing this same Raiders’ team. Denver is in a tight race for the number one seed in the AFC, so every win is vital from here on out.
Kickoff is set for 2:05 p.m. Mile High time on Sunday, December 7, 2025 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada....

The Denver Broncos will suffer a big loss with interior lineman D.J. Jones being ruled out for their Week 14 road matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. That is a huge loss for the front seven. When asked about the injury, Head Coach Sean Payton was gruff saying, “I’m not going through the players.”
Hopefully it is minor, because the games only get more difficult from here through the end of the season. There is good news. Defensive lineman Zach Allen looks good to go as a full participant, as is edge rusher Jonah Elliss and wide receiver Pat Bryant....

Vance Joseph and the Denver Broncos defense have come a long way since the Miami Dolphins dropped 70 points on them back in September of 2023. At that point in time, many folks across Broncos Country were ready to move on from Joseph. However, Head Coach Sean Payton stuck with the man he hired to get the franchise’s defense back to their winning ways.
Since then, they have embarked on an incredible turnaround. From being the laughingstock of the National Football League to one of the most feared and dynamic defenses over the past two seasons. All things considered, what...

The Denver Broncos now have two games this season without JK Dobbins as the lead RB. In those games the Broncos faced the 17th ranked rushing defense and the 27th ranked rushing defense and averaged 3.4 yards per carry, which would be the worst average in the league for the whole season. Dobbins was averaging 5.0 yards per carry and he had a run success rate of 53.6%. A successful rush gains least 40% of yards required on 1st down, 60% of yards required on 2nd down, and 100% on 3rd or 4th down. Denominator is rushing attempts.

The Las Vegas Raiders are one of the worst teams in the NFL.
After Pete Carroll was hired, there was hope in Raider Nation that Las Vegas could at least compete for a playoff spot.
Coming into Sunday’s game against the rival Denver Broncos, the Raiders are 2-10 and have already been eliminated from playoff contention. Since the franchise’s last Super Bowl appearance in 2003, this type of season is a common occurrence.
As for Sunday’s game, the Broncos head to Las Vegas as -7.5-point favorites. The total sits at over/under 40.5 points, with a lean towards the under at...

The Dallas Cowboys are red hot on a three-game win streak having beaten both the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs over the last two and will now hit the road to take on the Detroit Lions. The Lions have been inconsistent over the last month having won just three of seven. At 7-5, they are in must-win mode, especially with teams like Dallas now breathing down their neck just a half game back in NFC seeding.
Kickoff is set for Thursday, December 4, 2025 at 6:15 p.m. Mile High time at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan and will air...
Mile High Report
Some setbacks on the injury report today with two starters being added. The first was wide receiver Pat Bryant who was limited in practice today with a hamstring issue and defensive lineman Zach Allen was held out completely with a calf. We’ll need to wait for the final injury report on Friday to find out how these injuries will impact their game status.
Losing either would be a big blow to both side of the ball, but Allen’s absence would likely impact the defensive side of the ball much more. Especially when they go up against a guy like Ashton...
