Mel Kiper mock draft: Denver Broncos pick DT Caleb Banks

The Denver Broncos season isn’t yet over, but for 28 other teams it is officially mock draft season. Mel Kiper has a new mock draft out and we might as well cover it, even though we have a real game coming up. He has the Broncos drafting a defensive tackle late in the first round.

30. Denver Broncos

Caleb Banks, DT, Florida

Injuries limited Banks to three games this past season, but I enjoyed watching his 2024
tape. He had 4.5 sacks that campaign, getting some good interior push. But his real impact...

Denver Broncos Film Review: Garett Bolles vs. Buffalo Bills

Denver Broncos Film Review: Garett Bolles vs. Buffalo Bills

It may have taken 10 years, along with plenty of strife along the way, but the heartbeat of this team, Garett Bolles, has finally played in and won his first home NFL Playoff game. If anyone on this team deserved a moment like this, it absolutely was Bolles (or maybe Courtland Sutton).

Bolles had his work cut out for him though. The Bills defense boasted a strong pressure package and had a very diverse playbook to work out (notice the past-tense for the Bills) of and there was much Bolles had to be prepared for. The burden of protecting Bo...

Broncos vs Patriots playoff preview: History on the line (again)

Broncos vs Patriots playoff preview: History on the line (again)

The Denver Broncos are one win away from the Super Bowl.

Now Jarrett Stidham, Sean Payton, and the Broncos will look to put forth a game that keeps the season alive this Sunday. And once again, the New England Patriots are the opponent. For those keeping track, this is the third time the Broncos will host New England in the AFC title game. This is also the first time Denver will host the AFC championship.

It’s no surprise that Denver is the home underdog without starting quarterback Bo Nix. FanDuel Sportsbook has the Broncos as the +5.5-point underdogs. The total...

Broncos’ success means they will need some more coaches this offseason

Broncos’ success means they will need some more coaches this offseason

One of the minor problems the Broncos will have at the end of this season is going to be replacing coaches who leave for greener pastures. At this point and time, Vance Joseph, Jim Leonard, Darren Rizzi, and Davis Webb are all rumored to have opportunities with other teams this offseason.

What makes this even more precarious is that the coaches are leaving due to the wild success of the team. That means with the Broncos still playing, they may miss out on some of the talented names out there.

As an example, Robert Selah would have been a guy...

Rocky Mountain addresses only for Broncos vs. Patriots gameday tickets?

Rocky Mountain addresses only for Broncos vs. Patriots gameday tickets?

The Denver Broncos want a sea of orange for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game and it appears gameday tickets are being limited to the Rocky Mountain region. New England Patriots fans trying to buy tickets are apparently getting denied with this message:

Many fans didn’t understand how this is allowed, but someone tagged GrokAI to clarify and according to that bot, “NFL teams, including the Broncos, often restrict playoff ticket sales to local billing addresses to prioritize home fans, limit opposing supporters for better home-field advantage, and combat ticket brokers/scalpers. This practice is legal and has been used in past AFC...

New England Patriots not worried about playing at elevation vs. Denver Broncos

New England Patriots not worried about playing at elevation vs. Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos are preparing to fight for the AFC title without their star-quarterback Bo Nix. He is out and the expected recovery time will be 4-6 months for that fractured ankle. It is Jarrett Stidham’s time to shine. With the New England Patriots coming to town, the focus has shifted all the way to game preparation.

I caught a post over on Pats Pulpit today talking about how the Patriots intend to prepare to play at elevation. Two things stood out to me that I thought would be fun for us Broncos fans to discuss this morning.

The first...

Former Broncos have utmost confidence in Payton, Stidham, and the defense to win AFCCG

Good morning, Broncos Country!

The Jarrett Stidham Hype Train is in full force as the Broncos and fans set their sights on winning the AFC Championship game with a backup quarterback after a devastating season-ending injury to Bo Nix.

And I am all in on the hype train. Outlook is everything when a trip to the Super Bowl is on the line. And if there are two more perfect hype men than former Super Bowl 50 champions Emmanuel Sanders and Aqib Talib to make you feel good about the Broncos’ chances on Sunday, I don’t know who they would...

Broncos special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi is expected to interview for the Ravens head coaching position

According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, Denver Broncos special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi is expected to interview for the Baltimore Ravens head coaching vacancy. He previously interviewed for the New York Giants head coaching position before they hired former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. Now, Rizzi will interview for Harbaugh’s old job in Baltimore.

Rizzi, along with Vance Joseph and Davis Webb, can interview in person for these head coaching jobs starting next week after the Championship games. If the Broncos lose, all three coaches will be eligible to be hired that week, but if they advance to the Super...

Broncos have one last obstacle to climb to punch ticket to Super Bowl 60

The thrills of the Denver Broncos defeating the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round matchup were quickly vanquished. After hearing the unfathomable news quarterback Bo Nix had suffered a broken ankle on the second to last play of overtime, it’s as if Denver’s miracle season had come to a crashing end—despite earning their biggest victory in a decade.

From near the top of the mountain back to the bottom of the trailhead. For certain, the Broncos’ chances of defeating the New England Patriots got a lot tougher. But this year’s Broncos are battle-tested and have overcome a lot of...

Why the refs are ultimately to blame for Bo Nix’s injury

Why the refs are ultimately to blame for Bo Nix’s injury

There’s little use complaining about ‘what ifs’, but after listening to the national media bemoan the Ja’Quan McMillian interception in overtime for the last two days, I have something else to bring up. The play shouldn’t have ever happened if the officiating crew had done its job earlier on that drive.

Spencer Brown, the Buffalo Bills right tackle, admitted he had been egregiously holding guys on the Denver Broncos line all game long.

“You can’t blame the officials,” Brown said after the game. “That’s not what I try to do. But you’re letting the guys play all game long. I...

Denver Broncos open the practice window for running back JK Dobbins

According to ESPN’s league insider, Adam Schefter, the Denver Broncos are opening the practice window for running back JK Dobbins. He suffered a foot/Lisfranc injury that was considered season-ending at the time, with an outside chance of a return if the Broncos reached the Super Bowl or maybe the AFC Championship Game.

Well, the Broncos are in the AFC Championship Gam,e and Dobbins will be returning to practice. The question is, will the veteran running back show enough this week to prove to the Broncos coaches and medical team that he can play this Sunday?

Dobbins has been sidelined ever...

Patriots attempted to sign QB Jarrett Stidham this offseason before he re-signed with the Broncos

Broncos quarterback Jarrett Stidham will get the start this Sunday vs. the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game in place of injured starting quarterback Bo Nix, who broke his ankle in the final plays of their thrilling victory over the Bills.

However, things could have looked a good bit different this Sunday. According to multiple reports, including The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, the New England Patriots had interest and an offer on the table for Jarrett Stidham this offseason to return to the team and be Drake Maye’s backup. Ultimately, Stidham re-signed with the Broncos in large part due to the...
