The last time the Broncos opened the season 3-0, Gary Kubiak and the No Fly Zone were trying to make it back to the Super Bowl with Trevor Siemian doing his best impression of zombie Manning. The 2016 team finished the year with the best pass defense in the league, but issues against the run, injuries, and an anemic offense doomed them to a third place finish in the AFC West.
This year’s Broncos are perfect so far, something that’s boosted their chance at the dance north of 75% in some corners. Starting hot doesn’t necessarily promise the postseason, something the ‘21 Broncos are surely aware of following victories over the hapless Giants, Jaguars, and Jets.
