Something Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Tuesday caught my attention. It was near the end of the press conference when he was asked about what he expects from the crowd at Mile High during their Divisional Round against the Buffalo Bills.

He focused on the noise level of the crowd, but that he is hoping the noise starts a little sooner than what you typically see from crowds at games.

“Absolutely they can,” Payton said. “I think—I keep saying this—for years we were conditioned to raise the noise level when they break the huddle. The noise...

Plenty of hate came Bo Nix’s way this season, but if you watched every game it would have been clear to all of the haters that Nix is a bigger reason the Denver Broncos finished the regular season 14-3 than any of them would admit. And finally, we have some analytics data that backs it up.

The people over at Sports Info Solutions (SIS) have determined which quarterbacks are the most valuable to their team’s success in 2025.

*In sum: Broncos QB Bo Nix ranks No. 1 in our all-encompassing player value stat, Total Points. That contrasts with Nix’s...

Welcome to the Divisional Round of the 2026 NFL Playoffs. Last week with my Wild Card Round picks, I guessed three right and three wrong. That’s not great at all, but at least it was an awesome and eventful slate of games. I’m hoping to do better this weekend. Let’s see how I fare with my Divisional Round picks.

Saturday Football (Early Game) — Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos

Winner: Broncos

After a top-flight regular season campaign, the Broncos will square off against the Bills in the postseason for the second year in a row. This time they are...

After a successful regular season, the Denver Broncos have earned a lot of praise for their efforts during their 2025 campaign. The Broncos delivered fans the franchise’s first AFC West title in a decade. Some would say that would signify a successful season. Others may contend there is still unfinished business to take care of.

On Saturday, Denver hopes to avert being one-and-done in the postseason and continue their magical year by defeating the Buffalo Bills in their AFC Divisional Round matchup. In order to do so, they will have to run the ball and control the clock. The passing...

After both teams issued a simulated practice report on Tuesday, the Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills were both back practicing on Wednesday.

For the Broncos, nothing changed. Head Coach Sean Payton was asked about Dre Greenlaw’s ability to play downhill against the run and instead of answering the question he gave an update on having him back available for the game saying, “It’s good to have a healthy Dre Greenlaw back in the game, yes.”

I would agree that its good to have him back, but I’d also say I like his ability to play downhill against the run too....

In an article this week on NFL.com, several analysts got together to give their confidence rankings of the remaining eight teams left in the NFL playoffs. And wouldn’t you know it, the Denver Broncos are second to last on the list with the Buffalo Bills as the top AFC contender in their eyes.

Even the New England Patriots and Houston Texans give them more feels as prognosticators. It seems there has never been a more hated one seed in recent memory.

Rank 7. Denver Broncos
No. 1 seed · 14-3

While the Broncos were enjoying their first-round bye last week, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph and several other coaches were interviewing for jobs around the NFL. Now, a week later, things are starting to come into focus, and we are getting an idea of which coaches are favorites for certain jobs around the league.

Well, according to Bet Online, Denver Broncos defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph is the current odds-on favorite to be the next head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.

Joseph interviewed for the Tennessee Titans, New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders, Arizona Cardinals, and Baltimore Ravens jobs and was linked...

The Buffalo Bills have one major weakness that the Denver Broncos NEED to take advantage of this Saturday, and it is their run defense. The Jacksonville Jaguars were running all over the Bills’ defense this past weekend, but for whatever reason, they did not lean into it.

Veteran running back Trevor Etienne Jr. only had 10 carries, but was averaging 6.7 yards per carry. Meanwhile, explosive rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten only had 4 carries but was averaging an insane 12.8 yards per carry.

The Bills had no answer for the Jaguars’ run game, and this has been an issue...

Last year, the Denver Broncos made the playoffs and faced the Buffalo Bills in the wildcard round. During that game, the Bills’ offense exposed a vital weakness of the defensive side of the ball for the Broncos. Josh Allen and the Bills’ running backs and tight ends attacked the Broncos’ linebackers and safeties throughout that game, and it led to a 31-7 loss.

After that game, the Broncos would head into the offseason with the plan of upgrading their linebacker and safety positions in the offseason. Well, they went out and signed safety Talanoa Hufanga, who went on to have...

Given that the Denver Broncos were so good this regular season that they earned a second week off, there is no offensive line film to review. At least not until next week. So I figured we could scout the enemy a bit instead.

We’ll be taking a look at the film from the Wild Card matchup between the Jaguars and the Bills and see what the Jags were able to do well in the run game. While this won’t be a comprehensive examination of where the Bills are susceptible on the ground based off of a season’s sample size, this...

For the first time in a decade, an NFL playoff game is set for Mile High.

The Denver Broncos welcome Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills to town for the AFC Divisional Playoffs. And the Broncos will look to dish out a little revenge on Saturday. It was Allen and the Bills who eliminated Denver from the playoffs last season.

But the tables have turned, and the Broncos will play this game at home after a bye in the Wild Card round. Mile High will be rocking with Denver looking to flip the script on last season’s outcome with a...

Every team in the NFL has injuries every season. It is part of the game and to be expected.

In having a dominant regular season that secured the #1 seed in the playoffs, the Broncos have allowed themselves to get healthy by and large at the right time.

The one glaring link missing is going to be Brandon Jones, who is going to be missed on defense. He’s a versatile, physical safety who has played exceptionally well in the Broncos’ defense.

But getting back inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw is a big deal. He’s an enforcer over the middle and is...
