Broncos making the wise decision to spread the ball early on offense (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Currently, there are two players in the NFL with 56 touches after two games: Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs and Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker. They are both on pace for 476 touches which would be second all-time behind James Wilder's 492 in 1984. The Denver Broncos' leader in touches is JK Dobbins, and he only has 18. The Broncos currently have 12 non-QBs that have gotten at least one touch through two games. The Broncos have 74 plays where Bo Nix has not been the only ball carrier. That m
Broncos' tackling problem is an issue they created all on their own (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Depending on which site you trust, the Denver Broncos' defense missed either 24, 25, or 28 tackles against the Chiefs in Week 1. The 26.1 percent missed tackle rate was the second-worst for a team since the NFL has been tracking missed tackles. The only worse game was the Broncos' 2023 50-point loss (70-20) to the Miami Dolphins. Vance Joseph was the defensive coordinator for both games. The data only goes back to the 2018 season. The two worst Broncos defenders on Monday night in terms of total
Broncos star Nik Bonitto could win DPOY in 2026, but he will need to do better (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Monday night, Nik Bonitto played across from a guy who had never started a game at left tackle in his life. Nik Bonitto finished the game with two tackle (one solo) on 36 defensive snaps. Part of this was the KC game plan to get the ball out quickly. Patrick Mahomes had one of the shorter times to throw on average on Monday. Still Nik Bonitto needed to have a better showing in a nationally televised game to have any shot at DPOY. Since 2008, an on-the-ball defender has won Defensive Player of
History tells us the Broncos improving their record in 2026 is all but impossible (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three teams went 14-3 during the 2025 NFL season: the Broncos, the Patriots, and the Seahawks. Those also happened to be three of the four teams to make the Championship games last season. From 1978 to 2020, the NFL played 16 regular season games. Of the 36 teams to win 14 or more regular season games, six of them have been since the move to 17 games. Many seasons had no teams with 14 or more wins; since the merger, there have been 28 such seasons. There have been four seasons with two teams tha
Broncos' Nik Bonitto continues to climb all-time EDGE defender lists (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With the NFL being a "passing league" the role of the edge defender is primarily to rush the passer, but lighter edge defenders still have to be able to set the edge on running plays. If not, they will be exploited in the run game. One measure of how well a player sets the edge is tackles for loss. The NFL has only been officially tracking tackles for loss (TFL) since 1999, so players who were elite defenders in the 1980s like Lawrence Taylor, Bruce Smith and Karl Mecklenburg will not show up on
