The Denver Broncos really made a ton of strides this year, and in a span of just two seasons, this team went from a 1-5 start in 2023 to being on the doorstep of the Super Bowl in 2025. Had Bo Nix not gotten hurt, Denver is very clearly playing for a championship in February.
The bright side of the final couple of weeks of the season is that Denver nearly knocked off the Patriots despite missing a ton of talent and also have a ton of resources to make this roster even better. The Super Bowl window is only just going to get bigger for this team, ideally.
