The Denver Broncos are making their case for the playoffs, and they’re doing it with grit, determination, and a whole lot of momentum. Sitting at 8-5 and riding a three-game winning streak, the Broncos are proving they have what it takes to compete in December football. Coming off their bye week, Denver is refreshed and ready to face the Indianapolis Colts in a game that could solidify their spot as the AFC Wild Card front-runner—especially with a Chargers loss.
While both Denver and Los Angeles share similar records, the Broncos have something the Chargers don’t: the hot hand. Denver has been firing on all cylinders, led by rookie quarterback Bo Nix, who has shown remarkable poise in critical moments. Nix’s dual-threat ability has given defenses nightmares, as he’s extended drives with his legs and delivered pinpoint passes when it matters most.
The Broncos’ recent wins highlight their resilience. Two weeks ago, they faced a scrappy Cleveland Browns team in a physical matchup. Denver’s defense was relentless, forcing three turnovers and sacking the quarterback four times. Nix shined in the clutch, engineering a fourth-quarter drive to put the game away. Before that, they outlasted the Raiders in a gritty AFC West showdown, where the running game powered through a stout defensive front to grind out a hard-fought win. Their streak began with a statement victory over the Atlanta Falcons, where Nix threw for three touchdowns, and the defense came up with a game-sealing interception late in the fourth quarter.
With Christmas and the playoffs fast approaching, the Broncos are peaking at the perfect time. Their defense is dominating, their offense is finding rhythm, and Bo Nix is proving to be the franchise leader they’ve been searching for. The Mile High City is buzzing, and this team is ready to keep the magic alive. Playoff football feels like it’s just around the corner.
