The Denver Broncos win over the Houston Texans seemed to have come at a cost on the injury front. It was a tough defensive slugfest and this practice report shows that. There are seven guys on the DNP list, though four of those guys were out on Sunday anyway, but it is troubling to see Brandon Jones and Riley Moss on the report. It doesn’t seem like anything serious, though, but with the short week it will be something to monitor.
Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders are looking fully healthy. Brock Bowers came back and had a massive game after...

Good teams in the National Football League find a way to win close and hard-fought battles. The Denver Broncos victory over the Houston Texans was the epitome of winning an ugly game. It’s also symbolic of a trend that’s fared much for the Broncos in year three of the Sean Payton era compared to the first two seasons.
The Broncos have won five of the seven games this season that have been within one score. The losses? September matches to the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers on last second field goal attempts. Those didn’t go their way and sometimes...

The Dallas Cowboys (3-4-1) will be at home on Monday Night Football to take on the Arizona Cardinals (2-5) to close out Week 9 of the regular season. Both teams have struggled to start the season, but one at least has an elite caliber unit with the Cowboys offense being a high-scoring unit. Will they be able to put up enough points with their defense also giving up a lot of points? That is the question.
Kickoff is set for Monday, November 3, 2025 at 6:15 p.m. Mile High time at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texans and will air on...

As I write this, the Denver Broncos are tied with the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots for the league lead in wins with 7. There is no NFC team with 7 or more wins.
The Broncos are currently 4th in points allowed per game.
The Bronco offense has now beaten the best scoring defense in the league after having played five of the six worst scoring defenses in the league. The only one of those that the Broncos have yet to face is the Bears – Denver does not play Chicago this year. The Broncos have two games...

All that matters is winning games. And that is something the Denver Broncos are figuring out how to do no matter what type of game they are playing. During this six-game win streak, the Broncos have won two via blowouts, two via defensive slugfests, and two via increasingly insane comebacks. They are now, surprisingly, undefeated in games where they have trailed in the fourth quarter — a perfect 4-0. The irony being that the two losses were walk-off field goals.
It is hard to give game balls to the offense in a defensive battle like this one, but we found...

The BroncosRide may be making a comeback.
For years, RTD’s BroncosRide brought Broncos fans from all over Denver to Mile High on gameday. My family and I would drive to Arapahoe High School near my parents’ house, pay a nominal fare, and we’d get a ride to the game where they would drop fans off right at the front doors of the stadium. BroncosRide was terrific because it would zip you to and from the stadium without the hassles of parking, walking, or navigating the dreaded goose poop sidewalks around the stadium.
Then the COVID happened and BroncosRide was suspended....

The Denver Broncos secured their sixth win in a row on Sunday in a defensive slugfest on the road against the Houston Texans. They will now have a short week to prepare for their AFC West rival Las Vegas Raiders who are coming off their own close game, though they lost in overtime on a failed two-point conversion attempt. This is a must-win game for Denver as they will be hosting the Kansas City Chiefs the following week in a game that figures to have major playoff implications.
According to FanDuel, the Broncos are 9.5-point home favorites against the Raiders...

The Broncos win another close one, win their 6th straight game, and improve to 7-2 on the year.
We saw the offense struggle throughout most of the game once again, but Bo Nix led another 4th quarter comeback and did just enough to get the offense into field goal range, where Wil Lutz kicked the game-winner. The Broncos’ defense suffocated the Texans’ offense, which was without quarterback C.J. Stroud for most of the game, and did well overall while being down All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain II.
It wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win, and the Broncos are currently...

The Denver Broncos took on the Houston Texans in a hard-fought road battle Sunday afternoon. For three quarters, Denver’s offense was absolutely dreadful. But in the fourth quarter, they did just enough to pull out another comeback victory on the road. With today’s win, the Broncos are now 7-2 and winners of six in a row. Here are some instant reactions and takeaways from today’s game.
Bo Nix and Broncos’ offense fall back to earth against Texans
Over the past five quarters, Denver’s offense had lit up the scoreboard with 77 points. That wasn’t the case in the first half...

In a brutal defensive battle, the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans dominated defensively all game long. Bo Nix and the offense was frustratingly inefficient with more three-and-outs than one could reasonably track during the game. However, they kept grinding and scored touchdowns where the Texans scored field goals. It all came down to one play and Bo Nix made that play on a 25-yard scramble with under a minute left in the fourth quarter to setup the game-winning field goal attempt by Wil Lutz.
This team is winning in every way imaginable. At 7-2, they are in firm control of...

The Denver Broncos will be looking to extend their win streak to six games here on the road against the Houston Texans. Two of the NFL’s top defenses will take the field in this one, so I would expect a bit of a defensive struggle. After starting 0-3, the Texans are on a roll too winning three of their last four games. Denver needs to keep winning, though, as both the Chiefs and Chargers are right on their heels in the AFC West.
Kickoff is set for 11:00 a.m. Mile High time on Sunday, November 2, 2025 at NRG Stadium...
