The Broncos are now 5-2 on the season and are in sole-possession of first place in the AFC West. With the LA Chargers losing in Week 7, they fall to 4-3 and bump Denver up to the top. Denver was shutout by the New York Giants heading into the fourth quarter and were about to join the Chargers and a slew of other NFL teams at 4-3.
Denver made more fourth quarter magic happen and are now riding a four-game winning streak. Coming into the 2025 NFL Season, many were wondering if the Broncos could take that next step and emerge as a true contender, as some criticized the team for only beating up on bad teams and also took note of their poor record in one-score games back in 2024.
