The Broncos (7-8) seemingly had […]

Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots proved to be too difficult of a challenge for the Denver Broncos. Russell Wilson had a hard time penetrating their secondary and outgunning Bailey Zappe.

The Denver Broncos’ playoff hopes took a significant hit when they lost 42-17 to the Detroit Lions on Saturday. The game was marred with many offensive and defensive mistakes by the Broncos.

Roger Goodell and the NFL may have just made the most impactful regular season scheduling calls this season.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has been one of the most underutilized talents in the NFL this season, and there’s a pretty good chance he knows it, too.
