NFL Playoff Picture: Broncos remain the 2 seed in the AFC

Week 13 in the NFL officially concluded Monday Night with the New England Patriots retaking the number one seed in the AFC with a dominating victory over the New York Giants. The Broncos, coming off another thrilling victory, remain the number 2 seed, but after that, we have some big changes to the AFC playoff picture.

The biggest change was the Jacksonville Jaguars overtaking the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South and moving to the 3 seed in the AFC, while the free-falling Colts are now the 6th seed and in danger of missing the postseason entirely. Despite their Thanksgiving...

Sporting a 10-2 record, Broncos still feel they have a lot to prove

The Denver Broncos notched their tenth win of the season against the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football. It was a back-and-forth gridiron battle and an overtime thriller. Moreover, emblematic of the gusty and gritty identity the team has forged during their 2025 campaign. It may not always look pretty, but throughout the season, the Broncos have proven they have the ability to win close games.

Many other top teams struggled in Week 13, Denver was able to grind out another big victory. Now sitting at 10-2, our beloved orange and blue are tied with the New England Patriots for...

Broncos make their own luck by making ‘one more play’

Broncos make their own luck by making ‘one more play’

Call it luck if you want, but 10 wins, nine of them in a row, is not the luck that just happens to you.

It’s the luck you make happen.

Bo Nix understands this acutely.

Last year the Broncos lost multiple close games. They didn’t call it unlucky. They knew they just didn’t make the last play.

So you move on and figure out how to make that last play.

It’s been happening all season and no game proved that more obviously than last night’s OT thriller over the Commanders.

“I understand what it’s like to be on the other...

Game balls for the Broncos 27-26 SNF overtime thriller over the Commanders

Game balls for the Broncos 27-26 SNF overtime thriller over the Commanders

The Denver Broncos just keep winning and this latest victory over the Washington Commanders might have been the wildest finish yet during their nine game win streak. They say winning is contagious and if that’s the case, these 2025 Broncos are fully infected. Surprisingly, there were not as many game ball worthy performances as the defense struggled throughout and the plays that won the game were significant and few in number.

That said, if the defense were to have a bad game it was nice to see the offense step up and do what was needed to win it. The...

Broncos identity a heart-stopper

Broncos identity a heart-stopper

In case you missed it, the Denver Broncos are now 10-2, sitting atop the AFC. While no fan would complain about Denver’s record, plenty would have something to say about how each of these games taken years off of our lives do to the emotional toll the stress of these games have taken. These wins haven’t been the dominant, kick your ass up and down the block kind of wins, but rather a slow grind that has rewarded Broncos country with a 9-game win streak.

There have been other teams that haven’t been easy on a Broncos fan’s heart. In...

Winners and Losers from the Broncos 27-26 victory over the Commanders

Winners and Losers from the Broncos 27-26 victory over the Commanders

What a game.

It was FAR from the Broncos’ best effort, but in the end, they still found a way to come away with the victory. The Commanders, led by backup quarterback Marcus Mariota, had the Broncos on the brink of losing. He led a game-tying drive at the end of the 4th quarter and had a touchdown drive in overtime, and was a 2-point conversion away from the upset.

However, Nik Bonitto Dikembe Mutombo’d Mariota’s pass, and the Broncos leave Washington with the victory.

As for the winners and losers, it was a sloppy game on both sides of...

The Denver Broncos squared off against the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football. Coming off a bye, I was expecting a dominant performance by the Broncos. In fact, most of the staff also felt Denver was poised for a decisive victory. However, things didn’t go as we had all thought.

Instead, it was another gritty and hard-fought battle that made its way to overtime. When it mattered most, the Broncos rose to the occasion and defeated the Commanders 27-26. Here are some instant reactions and takeaways from tonight’s game.

Broncos outlast Commanders in wildest finish yet

Broncos outlast Commanders in wildest finish yet

For whatever reason, the Denver Broncos continue to play up or down to their competition in almost every game this season. I’ll chalk it up to them being a young, inexperience team, but boy is it frustrating to watch as a fan. This week was the week that the defense finally struggled for an entire game. They still kept points off the board in key areas, but in a close game the Washington Commanders were able to move the ball at will late in the fourth quarter to tie things up and send the game into overtime.

The defense was...

Broncos-Commanders inactives for Week 13

The recent mainstays for the Denver Broncos on the inactives reports each week are no longer on it. Pat Surtain II and Alex Singleton will both be active and starting in tonight’s game against the Washington Commanders. Safety Talanoa Hufanga was a late addition to the injury report with an illness. His status was was uncertain heading into the game, but him being active is a great sign.

Both Nate Adkins and Jonah Elliss are the two remaining guys who would typically be on the active roster but are still rehabbing from injury. For the Washington Commanders, they are still...

NFL Week 13 Late Games: Live Discussion

Week 13 continues with the afternoon games as we wait for the Denver Broncos tonight!

With so few games, I often merge these discussion threads into the early game window, but two of three are games we should be paying attention to. Ideally, the Chargers choke and lose to the Raiders. I’m not counting on that and neither are any of you, though. The real game to watch is the Bills and Steelers. I’ll be pulling for the Steelers here as the Bills can become one of the most dangerous teams in the NFL at any moment and I’d prefer...
