Now sitting at 12-2, the Denver Broncos are atop the NFL world and in a great position to earn the no. 1 overall seed in the AFC, which guarantees them a first-round bye and homefield advantage during the playoffs. The last time that happened, Denver won the Super Bowl, and this team is definitely good enough to do that again.
The Broncos have also navigated the Russell Wilson contract situation perfectly, as they didn't kick the financial can down the road and are now seeing his contract totally off the books after 2025. The Broncos were able to eat the $85 million dead cap hit in 2024 and 2025.
