The Denver Broncos are AFC West champions and are one game away from potentially clinching the top seed in the AFC, which would cap a heck of a three-year turnaround in the mile high city. To get there, they will have played six of their 17 games against 2025 playoff teams. And those games don’t even include the two against the long-eliminated Kansas City Chiefs.

If we based this years’ schedule off of who were playoff teams last season, then they would have faced nine games against playoff teams. I shared that tidbit, because the 2026 schedule suggests the Broncos...

The Denver Broncos defeated the Los Angeles Chargers to improve to 14-3 on the year and have officially clinched the number one seed in the AFC and, more importantly, have homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.

Playoff football and the road to the Super Bowl will go through Mile High.

As for the game, it wasn’t the prettiest contest. The Broncos’ offense did not play well, and it appeared they had a very simple and vanilla gameplan for this one. Still, they did not play well, but I expect a better effort from this team in two weeks. As for the...

The Denver Broncos took care of business and defeated the Los Angeles Chargers in their Week 18 matchup. By doing so, the Broncos are now the top seed in the AFC for the postseason, get a first-round bye, and coveted homefield advantage. The defense was ferocious, but the offense struggled to be efficient throughout most of the game. Let’s get into some instant reactions from today’s big victory.

Against Chargers’ backups the Broncos’ offense fails to get going

We can ride the good vibes of Denver securing the top seed in the AFC playoffs. It’s been a long time since...

With a win over the Los Angeles Chargers, the Denver Broncos improved to 14-3 on the year and have clinched the number one seed in the AFC and now have homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. This caps off a successful season that saw the Broncos be the first AFC team to clinch a postseason berth and win the AFC West for the first time since 2015.

The Broncos are back, and the road to the Super Bowl now goes through Mile High.

Now that the Broncos have clinched the top seed in the AFC, they will have a much-earned and...

The Denver Broncos closed out the season with yet another win that will leave the national media doubting everything about the AFC’s number one seed. The reality is that Sean Payton and the Broncos offense came in with a straight vanilla game plan believing their defense would be able to completely shut down Trey Lance and the Los Angeles Chargers offense.

He wasn’t far wrong and the team was able to get by. Two big turnovers by the defense accounted for most of the points needed for the win. They got an early lead and with the Chargers potentially being...

The stars seemed to have aligned for the Denver Broncos in 2025. With so many one-score victories and several lucky breaks like injuries to Joe Burrow and then late with Patrick Mahomes, and now the Los Angeles Chargers resting all of their starters, the Broncos have a clear path to secure the AFC’s top seed. Sometimes you need those lucky breaks, but you also need to go win those football games. One more win and Denver is in prime position for a strong playoff run.

Kickoff is set for 2:25 p.m. Mile High time on Sunday, January 4, 2026 at...

The Denver Broncos will be without interior defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers who has been dealing with a hip issue. Jordan Jackson and Sai’vion Jones will both be active to help fill the need there. Tight end Mercedes Lewis is inactive with Nate Adkins returning to the lineup. Pat Bryant is also back after his scary concussion two games ago. As expected, Dre Greenlaw is out again this week nursing a hamstring injury. Hopefully we’ll see him ready to go for that first playoff game.

For the Los Angeles Chargers, they are resting four key players today: Quarterback Justin Herbert, running...

Welcome to Week 18 of the regular season!

Drama everywhere in these early games. If the Titans are somehow able to make a game of it against the Jaguars, then that Texans game against the Colts becomes pretty interesting. The AFC South looks fairly set if both favored teams win. The game with the most riding on it during this early slot is over in the NFC South. I was mistaken in my belief that the Bucs-Panthers winner on Saturday would decide the division. I was unaware of the scenario if the Bucs won, which [comes down to whether or...

The Denver Broncos have already clinched a postseason berth and won the AFC West, but they have one last regular-season goal to achieve, and that is clinching the one seed and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. Due to their success this season, the Broncos control their own destiny, and the road to that one seed is simple. With a win over the division rival Chargers, the Denver Broncos will clinch the one seed, and the road to the Super Bowl will once again go through Mile High.

It’s that simple. As Al Davis famously once said: “Just win, baby.”

The...

As the Broncos prepare to clinch the number one seed in the AFC with a victory over the Chargers this afternoon, a number of other teams are already planning for next season. News and rumors of potential head coaching firings and staff changes are already happening, and a handful of Broncos coaches are expected to be popular names during this coaching cycle.

As we know, Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is expected to be a top head coaching candidate league-wide and is already being connected to the Giants and Titans head coaching jobs. However, a couple of Broncos assistant coaches...

Good morning, Broncos Country!

The Denver Broncos know what’s at stake.

Win today against the Los Angeles Chargers, and they secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC. With that comes home-field advantage through the AFC Playoffs and a bye for Wild Card Weekend.

This is the first time in 10 years the Broncos have been in this position, and they’re not going to take it for granted.

“Our focus is this is a playoff game,” Broncos head coach Sean Payton said to the media this week. “I just finished telling the team, we have to focus on …...

The NFC West and the conferences top seed will be decided by the outcome of this game between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. It’s winner take all. The loser will end up the five or six seed. The 49ers do have a couple of key starters on offense who are banged up in George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall, but you have to think they will play given the importance of the playoff bye would bring.

Kickoff is set for Saturday, January 3, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. Mile High time at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California and will...
