Over their last four games the Broncos have held the Packers to 17, Chiefs to 19 and 9 points (2 games), and the Bills to 22. They’re 3-1 and have turned their season around.
Factor in the Vikings moving from Cousins (immobile) to Dobbs (mobile), and the remaining schedule is looking a little more formidable than it did a few weeks ago.
I agree with the general sentiment of this post, but let’s not get crazy. The Broncos are still last in their division, have the third worst record in the AFC, and probably need to win 6 of their final 8 games to have a chance at the playoffs. And the only “gimme” game is against the Patriots and maybe Raiders. The rest they will have to fight for.
And they have to play the Vikings, Browns, Texans and Chargers before us. Their season could very well be actually dead by the time they get to us.
