Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos have focused on themselves all week long as they make strides with a tougher part of the schedule approaching. Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers will be a test and measure of how the team’s focus comes into play against teams they should beat. What are some of the key things to watch for on Sunday?
The Denver Broncos defense has been one of the league’s top units this season in most of the important metrics. They’re currently the third-ranked defense in net yards per game allowed, holding...

Denver Broncos fans think the team will beat the Carolina Panthers on Sunday to move to 5-3 on the season.
Well, it is nearly universal. We all think the Denver Broncos will dispatch the Carolina Panthers tomorrow. There were obviously a few Raider fans that snuck into this survey earlier this week, but they should worry about the AFC West cellar where they currently live.
With the Panthers having Andy Dalton out and both starting wide receivers, the Broncos defense should clearly have a field day with Bryce Young and whoever they have left on the roster on offense. The...

The Broncos should still be in second place after this week
The AFC West continues to be top heavy with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Las Vegas Raiders. The Los Angeles Chargers will get a stumbling New Orleans Saints, and the Denver Broncos should continue their dominance of the NFC South against the Carolina Panthers.
Going into Week 8, the Chiefs remain undefeated. The Chargers will look to keep pace with the Broncos, while the Raiders hope to end the Chiefs undefeated season. If the playoffs started now, the Broncos would be in.
Chiefs (6-0, -9.5) at Raiders...

Vance Joseph has the Denver Broncos defense playing at an elite level and its all powered by his pressure packages.
If you are looking for the driving force of the Denver Broncos defense this season it has to be the pass rush. Vance Joseph has dialed up some of the most creative pressure packages through the first seven games and the result has been an NFL’s best pressure rate to start the season.
According to Pro Football Focus, the Broncos lead all teams with a whooping 156 pressures this season. That is 16 more than the next best team on...

Just one season removed from allowing a woeful 70 points in one game, it seems the Denver Broncos defense has turned a page.
The Broncos have one of the top defenses in the NFL right now. What makes it even more impressive is that there is only one first-round pick on the Broncos defense. The rest are second-round draft picks and later, including undrafted free agents.
Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph says he thoroughly enjoys coaching his group of “self-made guys that are just grinders.”
“Playing together and being team-first guys. It’s a group of self-aware, young, hungry guys who...

The Denver Broncos aren’t yet the sum of all their parts, but Head Coach Sean Payton isn’t concerned about that. He’s focused on the team earning their fifth victory of the season against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Sunday’s matchup at home against the Carolina Panthers gives the Denver Broncos a huge opportunity to show what kind of football team they are. After starting off the season 0-2, the Broncos have won four of their last five games and are one of the hottest teams in the National Football League.

The offense needs to put up big numbers
The Denver Broncos are in an unusual position as they get ready to take on the Carolina Panthers. It’s not just the fact that they are a favorite to win the game.
No, they are a heavy favorite. At the time of writing this, they are a 10.5 point favorite. Not that they don’t deserve the double digit spread, but it’s not really a place that Broncos Country is used to being in recent seasons.
And as Ian and I discussed on Odds and Endzones, the Panthers being totally inept as a...

Breaking down great and questionable officiating from Denver’s heartbreaking week 6 loss to the Chargers and dominating week 7 win over the Saints.
A quick note – last week we were unable to review the Broncos Chargers game in full, so as promised there are comments on that game this week, alongside comments from the Broncos Saints game.
Umpire Carl Paganelli called a great delay of game penalty on safety Alohi Gilman late in the Broncos loss to the Chargers. Gilman tackled Javonte Williams and tried to hold him...

Nice win over the Saints last week on Thursday Night Football, wasn’t it?
Well, about that.
The Broncos defense is indisputably elite, and the downtrodden Saints had no shot at proving otherwise. And while the scoreboard showed a lopsided final of 33-10, the stat line for quarterback Bo Nix wasn’t as impressive. The rookie went a ho-hum 16-for-24 for 164 yards and no touchdowns – not exactly the kind of numbers everyone would like to see against a defense that couldn’t even slow down Denver. Granted, the run was available and effective, so it’s hard to complain too much. Still,...

Denver Broncos receiver Josh Reynolds was shot twice last week according to 9News and the Denver Police Department.
The two bullets hit his arm and his head, but the NFL wideout sustained only minor injuries and has been recovering at the Broncos facility this week.
It was a new incident involving a Broncos player being shot and another with an altercation following a visit to Shotgun Willie’s.
When Broncos fans hear of a player being shot, it undoubtedly brings back flashbacks of the [tragic death of Darrent Williams back in...
