Denver Broncos
A marquee matchup for Saturday Night Football with an NFC North showdown that could end up deciding the NFC North division. The Chicago Bears are currently up by a half game on the Green Bay Packers, so a win by them would give them an inside track to lock the division up in the final two weeks. The same would go for the Pack if they win, though to a lesser degree given they’d only hold a half game lead.
Kickoff is set for Saturday, December 20, 2025 at 6:20 p.m. Mile High time at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois...

The Denver Broncos announced earlier today that they have activated guard Ben Powers from the injured reserve.
Powers had his 21-day practice window opened last week, but despite returning to practice, the team decided that he was not ready and was not activated before the Packers game. Now, after having another full week of practice without any setbacks, Powers is now being activated from the IR and is set to return to the starting lineup this Sunday vs. the Jaguars.
While Powers was out, reserve offensive linemen Alex Palczewski filled in well, and the offense and blocking did not miss...

The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders are surprisingly similar statistically, but the Eagles are winning games at 9-4 while the Commanders season is over at 4-10. They can still play spoiler at home here with the Eagles seeing the Dallas Cowboys not too far behind in the rearview mirror. A win for Philly, however, would all but close the door on the NFC East.
Kickoff is set for Saturday, December 20, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. Mile High time at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland and will air on FOX.
According to FanDuel, the Eagles are 7-point favorites...

If you had asked me in August if by Week 16 the Chiefs would be 6-8, in third place in the AFC West while the Broncos were dominating the entire AFC at 12-2, I would have said, “Yes, that is exactly how I see this playing out!”
Just kidding! No way would I have said that. In fact, I’m still in disbelief that the Broncos — who always seem to win in the most impossible and heart attack-inducing ways — are the tops in the entire league. But I am not complaining. And neither is Topher Doll, former MHR writer...

Happy Saturday, Broncos Country. What a wild first game to start the college football playoffs! The Alabama Crimson Tide looked like they were out of it early on but roared back with 27 straight points to wind up defeating the Oklahoma Sooners. Let’s hope today’s games are just as eventful. ICYMI: Here is last week’s installment that highlights the games and players to watch.
For today’s installment of Future Broncos, I thought I’d take a break from talking prospects and focus on something else. A focus and analysis about how the Denver Broncos find themselves among the top teams in...

Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars are playing incredible football.
The Jaguars currently sit at 10-4 and are on a five-game winning streak. Jacksonville has a legitimate shot at winning the AFC South. The Jags enter Week 16 at the top of their divisional standings.
Up next for Lawrence and Jacksonville is the best team in the AFC and the NFL in the Denver Broncos (12-2). This Sunday is a real test for both teams and has the potential to be a great game. Just don’t tell the NFL, since literally no one outside of the Rocky Mountain region will...

The Denver Broncos are atop the AFC West and the presumptive #1 seed in the AFC thanks to their 12-2 record. Winners of eleven straight games, Denver has already punched their ticket to the postseason. This weekend, the Broncos host the Jacksonville Jaguars who are 10-4 and lead the AFC South. This is another tough matchup for Denver. Jacksonville is a well-rounded team with a Top 10 offense and defense. Here are three players I believe need to play at a high level in order to topple the roaring Jaguars.
The Broncos have touted...

Each week, we send a confidence poll out and while we haven’t shared the results recently, rest assured fan confidence has been stable and high for months now.
Heading into their Week 16 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, overall fan confidence in the Denver Broncos has surged to 98% with the 2% likely being salty Kansas City Chiefs fans or spiteful and envious Las Vegas Raiders fans.
Here’s a breakdown of how fan confidence has progressed over the weeks of the season:

The Denver Broncos will be without linebacker Justin Strnad as expected as he injured his foot last weekend. While guard Ben Powers is listed as questionable, it does appear he’ll be back to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Though as Mike Klis of 9News noted, it will likely be in a shared reps situation. It is good to see the offensive line getting back to full strength just before the playoffs. Hopefully it stays that way.
Here is your full practice report for Friday.

The Denver Broncos go into Week 16 looking to defend their 11-game win streak and undefeated home record against the red-hot Jacksonville Jaguars. Coming off a big win over the Green Bay Packers who had come into Denver as favorites despite having a worse record, confidence should be running sky high for this Broncos football team.
There is a scenario where the Broncos can clinch all of the things from the number one seed in the AFC and the AFC West division title. It’s unlikely for all of those to happen, but they can certainly take the division with the...

We’re going to do something new each week where we track and share any interesting tidbits about the Denver Broncos from a statistical or data standpoint. To be honest, this is something we used to do a lot more of back during the Peyton Manning years. I suppose the data hasn’t been very fun to review until last year. It’s looking a lot more fun to look at not, though, so let’s dive in!
First up is something that was shared in the feed already, but was too good not to lead with. The Broncos defense pressured Jordan Love on...
