Denver Broncos players who need to step up in 2019

Are the Denver Broncos a playoff caliber team?

Depending on how optimistic you are, the Broncos were a couple of inches away from being either 4-12 or 10-6 in 2018 despite a ton of critical injuries and some untimely miscues.

Missed opportunities at the end of their home game against the Kansas City Chiefs cost an early-season divisional win against arguably the best team in football last year.

A missed field goal cost them a win against one of the NFL’s hottest teams in Houston.

They were within one score of the NFC Champion Los Angeles Rams, upstart Cleveland Browns led by hotshot rookie Baker Mayfield, and lost a critical road game to the lowly San Francisco 49ers.
