The Denver Broncos welcomed their 17th full-time coach in franchise history yesterday just in time to watch the NFL championship games this weekend. A few former Broncos remain in the chase for a Lombardi trophy, which means there’s plenty to root for. As is too often the case these days, there’s also clearly someone to root against.
Connections to the Broncos
- Brandon Allen is Joe Burrow’s backup. He played three games for the Broncos between Joe Flacco’s injury and Drew Lock coming off of Injured Reserve in 2019, completing 46.4% of his passes for 515 yards, three touchdowns, and two picks.
