We have our first Denver Broncos playoff berth clinching scenario of the season, and it is pretty straightforward. All the Broncos have to do is defeat the Packers this Sunday, and they will officially clinch a postseason berth for the second straight season.
The Denver Broncos sit at 11-2 on the year, have won 10 straight games, and are currently the number one seed in the AFC and simply need to win to be the first team in the AFC to clinch a postseason berth.
In total, there are six ways the Broncos can clinch a postseason berth this Sunday,...

The Denver Broncos took care of business last week against the Las Vegas Raiders. While the final score looked closer than it actually was, the Broncos were never in danger of losing that game. At 11-2, they stand atop the AFC — for now — and face their toughest stretch of the season with three of their final four games against teams with nine wins and the one that doesn’t is Patrick Mahomes and the always-dangerous Kansas City Chiefs.
Are they finally getting the respect their record demands from analysts around the league? Or are they still being doubted at...

What a breath of fresh air, this game was to watch as a fan of the Denver Broncos. All three phases of the game played well. As the game wore on, it seemed more and more like we were just passing time until the clock was all zeros. The cherry on top was that we swept the Raiders (may they continue swirling down the toilet of the NFL’s most hapless franchises).
The Broncos have some very meaningful games coming up, and it was good to see them handle business as one would expect, without needing a come-from-behind drive to get...

Marvin Mims Jr. holds a special place with Sean Payton.
The former Oklahoma wide receiver was actually Payton’s first draft pick as the Broncos head coach. Having lost a first-round pick due to the previous trade for Russell Wilson, Payton and his GM were looking at the second round and the 68th overall pick as their first player.
But a speedy wideout with a penchant for catching the deep ball caught Payton’s eye, and the Broncos traded their 68th and 138th overall picks to the Lions to move up five spots and get Mims.
At the time, some saw the...

With the Patriots on their late-season bye week, the Denver Broncos had an opportunity to retake the number one seed in the AFC with a victory over. Well, the Broncos defeated the Raiders easily and gained an important tie-breaker over the Patriots, and now control their own destiny when it comes to gaining homefield advantage in the playoffs.
As for the rest of the AFC, we had some major developments. The Jaguars appear to have control of the AFC South, but do have the ascending Texans and their top-ranked defense on their heels. Unfortunately for the Indianapolis Colts, they lost...

After securing their tenth win in a row and eleventh of the season, the Denver Broncos begin the week on the cusp of achieving something they haven’t in quite some time. The AFC West title and top seed in the AFC playoff race are there for the taking. So long as the Broncos take care of business down the home stretch.
Broncos Country should be ecstatic with where the team is at with four games remaining. What’s even better is the Kansas City Chiefs reign as kings of the division is finally over. It seems like the AFC itself may...

A game of significant relevance to the Denver Broncos and the AFC West is going down tonight with the Los Angeles Chargers hosting the Philadelphia Eagles. Obviously, we’ll be rooting for the Eagles here as a Chargers loss would give the Broncos a three-game lead in the division with four games to go. Both teams here have stumbled a bit in receive weeks, so your guess is as good as mine as to which team on either side will show up today.
Kickoff is set for Monday, December 8, 2025 at 6:15 p.m. Mile High time at SoFi Stadium in...

Yes, the Denver Broncos only won by seven points, but this game against the Las Vegas Raiders not never really close after the Mims punt return TD. The Broncos had the ball for over 39 minutes. This was the 23rd most ToP that Broncos have ever had in a game, but it is significantly higher if you remove the OT games. The Broncos are now 8-1 in one score games, which is amazing, although I struggle to count that last one since that was a blowout until garbage time (and a garbage call).
This was also one of the shorter...

According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, the Denver Broncos are expected to sign former Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick to their practice squad.
McCormick was signed as an undrafted free agent with the Las Vegas Raiders at the conclusion of the 2022 NFL Draft. He would be with the team through the 2024 season and would spend time with the 49ers and Cardinals this season before signing to the Broncos’ practice squad.
He is a 5-9, 205-pound running back who has been productive in limited action throughout his short NFL career. Last season for the Raiders, McCormick played...

The Denver Broncos were dominant in their 24-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. At least until the final couple of minutes when the defense just mailed it in and gave up 10-points for no reason. Despite the backdoor cover of the spread, the Broncos offense proved they can control the ball and clock. Their longest drive of the season came on the first drive, which they then topped again in the third quarter, and then topped that drive with another in the fourth quarter. It was a beautiful sight to see after so much inconsistency from that unit over...

Sunday night felt like a funeral and it was delicious.
Is there anything better than the tears that are shed over the decline of the Kansas City Chiefs?
I know it’s going to be tough for the national media to shift gears and discuss teams that aren’t the Chiefs. A decade of lazy prognostication now gives way to an era where talent matters and Taylor Swift does not.
My sympathies are also with the officials. Nobody loves to put their thumb on the scale for an emotionally pouty quarterback more than the officials. Let’s give them some space while they...

Their reign of terror is officially over.
With a 20-10 loss to the Houston Texans, the Kansas City Chiefs have been mathematically eliminated from winning the AFC West. They have fallen to 6-7, are barely hanging on in the AFC Playoff picture, and now trail the Denver Broncos by 5 games in the win/loss column.
From 2016 through 2024, the Kansas City Chiefs have won 9 straight AFC West titles and reached at least the AFC Championship in every season that Patrick Mahomes has started for them at quarterback. While I hate the Chiefs, Mahomes, Kelce, and everything about that...
