Ultimate Fan: Broncos’ pass rush will be the X factor on Sunday

Ultimate Fan: Broncos’ pass rush will be the X factor on Sunday

If the Broncos’ defense can keep Kirk Cousins from getting in rhythm, the Broncos’ offense should be able to take care of business.

Dang, the Broncos were SOOOO close last week! But it’s hard to keep Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs down...especially when the refs just like them better.

Doesn’t matter, though. We saw a continuing-to-improve Bo Nix and that was a ton of fun. And what will be even more fun this week will be a win at home against the Falcons! Helping us prepare for that is another longtime fan but rookie UFGer who is so ready for...

What to watch for in Denver Broncos vs. Atlanta Falcons

What to watch for in Denver Broncos vs. Atlanta Falcons

The Denver Broncos (5-5) will host the Atlanta Falcons (6-4) at home. After last Sunday’s heartbreaking loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Broncos have been focused this week on bouncing back against Kirk Cousins and his array of offensive weapons.

A win against the Falcons on Sunday would put Denver at 6-5 on the season, with the next two games before the bye week being the Las Vegas Raiders and Cleveland Browns. Avoiding a three-game losing streak is paramount here.

The battle for second place continues

With the Kansas City Chiefs solidly atop the division, the Los Angeles Chargers will look to maintain their hold on second place. The Las Vegas Raiders emerge from their bye week looking to break a 5 game losing streak.

Jared Wilson, Center — Georgia Bulldogs

The Broncos have one of the highest graded offensive lines in the National Football League this season. Nevertheless, I’m always a fan of adding more talent on that front. Offensive line coach Zach Strief deserves credit for...

Broncos moving on from brutal Week 11 loss: ‘We get up and we start fighting again’

Broncos moving on from brutal Week 11 loss: ‘We get up and we start fighting again’

After suffering a gut-wrenching loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11, the Denver Broncos are looking to get back into the win column.

The Broncos were a chip-shot field goal away from knocking off the Chiefs and snapping their undefeated streak. Unfortunately, the worst possible scenario happened when the field goal was blocked, and the Chiefs would win 16-14.

According to head coach Sean Payton, the Broncos used the loss last Sunday as a lesson both on and off the field.

“The point of the film, I said to them, ‘I don’t have enough time here to...

The Broncos are looking for a bounce back win

Beating the Falcons puts them back on the right path

The Denver Broncos will look to bounce back from a heartbreaking loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. When the Atlanta Falcons come to Denver, Bo Nix will have the opportunity to put points on the board, and get the Broncos back in the win column.

The second loss in a row was difficult to take for Broncos Country. Aside from the blocked field goal at the end of the game, it seemed as if the refs had a heavy hand in the outcome, as well.

While that stings, there is...

The Broncos’ offensive line continues to earn high praise

The Denver Broncos have one of the best offensive lines in the National Football League according to several outlets and metrics.

Many football games are decided in the trenches. While the Denver Broncos sport a 5-5 record and their total wins might not reflect that, their offensive and defensive line play has been much improved compared to their 2023 campaign.

According to Pro Football Focus, the Broncos’ offensive line has surrendered the fewest quarterback pressures in the National Football League. By their analysis, they have only given up 60 through 10 games. This week ahead of their matchup with the...

Audric Estime could take the reins of Denver Broncos top running back spot

Audric Estime could take the reins of Denver Broncos top running back spot

This week against the Falcons, Audric Estime could take the reins of the Denver Broncos running back position.

The Broncos running game has struggled all year long to gain traction. Javonte Williams’ play has been up-and-down, Estime has provided some burst in limited carries, while even Marvin Mims ran multiple times last week.

After his best game yet, the Broncos rookie running back could enjoy a true breakout game against Atlanta.

Roundtable: The Broncos defense thrives in a post-Justin Simmons era

Roundtable: The Broncos defense thrives in a post-Justin Simmons era

It’s a strange feeling when a beloved Bronco returns to the Mile High City wearing the enemy’s colors.

No, Justin Simmons is anything but the enemy, but he is playing for the opposition on Sunday. It was a sad day when Simmons wasn’t retained by the Broncos. He ultimately signed with the Atlanta Falcons, this week’s opponent.

As luck – or perhaps not – would have it, Denver’s defense looks even better than it did last year… with Simmons. In Atlanta, meanwhile, the defense has been terrible… with Simmons. The two vastly different results bring Simmons’ return to Denver into...

Broncos vs. Falcons score predictions

The Mile High Report staff give their score predictions for the Week 11 matchup between the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons.

Since the opening odds released showing the Denver Broncos were slight home underdogs to the Atlanta Falcons, the line has shifted favorable towards Denver. They are now home favorites. This is a critical game for both teams who are in the thick of their respective conference playoff positioning, but it is clear that the 5-5 Broncos need this win more than the 6-4 Falcons.

Is Audric Estimé ready to be RB1 for the Denver Broncos? Fans sure think so after our weekly survey on the subject.

Despite the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, fans overwhelmingly liked what they saw from the rookie with 86% of you saying he should be handed the reins.

Estimé piled up 14 rushing attempts for 53 yards in their loss to the Chiefs, but seemed more...
