Broncos film review: Audric Estime - the new RB1

Broncos film review: Audric Estime - the new RB1

Has rookie running back Audric Estime surpassed Javonte Williams? A review of him and the offensive line.

If we’re looking at snap counts alone, it seems like there is a new sheriff in the Denver backfield and it’s the rookie Audric Estime.

The Denver Broncos have seemingly been looking for a new starting running back this year. Javonte Williams has been good, and great at times, but it seems like Denver doesn’t trust him to consistently produce at the levels they’re looking for. Estime has shown flashes, and even seemed like he’d be taking the reigns at the beginning of...

Denver Broncos playoff chances are still good, despite 2 straight losses

Denver Broncos playoff chances are still good, despite 2 straight losses

The Denver Broncos playoff chances are still solid, even though they lost to the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs in back-to-back games.

Denver currently sits at 5-5 on the season, which is still in seventh position in the AFC. And thanks to the expanded playoffs, which include seven teams per conference since 2020, the Broncos are in the playoffs for now.

While being on the edge of postseason contention isn’t ideal, it’s a pleasant surprise for this team. And, the good news is there’s a clear path to the playoffs for the orange and blue.

Denver Broncos Film Room: Bo Nix is the Broncos’ guy

The Denver Broncos took the Kansas City Chiefs to the wire in Sunday’s game despite a special teams assignment botching them from winning. One thing that stood out, though, is that Bo Nix is the Broncos’ guy at quarterback. Here’s a look at our film room from his performance on Sunday.

Broncos at Chiefs: The No Bull Review

Broncos at Chiefs: The No Bull Review

The Denver Broncos beat the Chiefs and lost to the NFL referees. Here are my thoughts, opinions, and analysis on a spectacularly played game by the Broncos.

Broncos Country, I have to say that I’m absolutely stoked about this game. Not about the loss. Not about a fluke block. But about what this game says about the Denver Broncos franchise, coaches, and roster.

This team is on the path. We have the Kansas City Chiefs' number and are poised to start battling them for the division in the near future.

Don’t get me wrong…I was as bent as anyone at...

Bo Nix zeroing in on Broncos record

Bo Nix zeroing in on Broncos record

A record that has stood for 58-years.

There haven’t been a lot of rookie quarterbacks to play for the Denver Broncos and even fewer are worth remembering.

In 1968, Broncos Marlin Briscoe threw for 14-touchdowns and set the bar for rookie quarterback success in Denver. Even during his rookie season, John Elway didn’t throw for that many.

Can you imagine a season where the great John Elway threw for fewer than 14-touchdowns? Kind of blows the mind when you think about it.

On Sunday, Bo Nix connected with Devaughn Vele and Courtland Sutton to add 2 more touchdowns, bringing his...

Stat can’t be real: Bronco stat discussion for the heartbreaking last second loss to KC

You just witnessed something that has not happened this century in the NFL and may have never happened before.

Stathead.com has a drive finder where you choose the end event (blocked FG) and the drive end time (as the 4th quarter expired). The finder goes back to 2001, but in the 24 seasons for which we have data, no game where a team was going to take the lead on a FG as the clock expired has ended with a blocked FG.

The closest that we have is the game between Dallas and Washington on November 5th 2006. Tied at...

Why fans should still be optimistic about the Denver Broncos

Why fans should still be optimistic about the Denver Broncos

The loss to the Kansas City Chiefs stings but there are still reasons to be optimistic about the Denver Broncos.

Yesterday’s heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs left a bad taste in the mouth for many fans across Broncos Country.

It was a missed opportunity that would have given them a lot of confidence moving forward. A win would have given them a two-game lead for the final wildcard spot in the AFC. Instead, they only have a one-game margin over several other teams.

Sitting at 5-5, every game from here on out is crucial for the Broncos. Head...
