The Denver Broncos are honestly approaching must-win territory, but mainly because they have to keep pace atop the AFC for that first seed. The New England Patriots are 10-2 on the season and have a soft schedule to end the year, so Denver has to keep the foot on the gas.
And even though the Broncos are playing the Washington Commanders in Week 13, we should not assume this is going to be an easy game. Fortunately, though, Washington's defense has struggled this year, and that might be putting it lightly.
It is going to be crucial for the team's run game to get going, and we could see this encouraging rookie finally having a legitimate breakout game in a massive Week 13 clash on Sunday Night Football.
