Based on the first month of the season, most believe he’ll probably be one and done in the Twin Cities.However, with the Vikings shipping J.J. McCarthy out of town two weeks ago, they don’t have a contingency plan at the position. That leads many to believe they’ll look for their…

However, there’s an injury concern, as Pat Surtain II isn’t the only Broncos secondary star poised to miss the showdown against the Seahawks. The problem is with safety Talanoa Hufanga, according to a post on X by Jeremy Fowler. “Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga is expected to miss multiple weeks with an ankle injury, per sources.

For the third consecutive season, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is off to a slow start — though this year, the leeway he’s getting, both internally and externally, seems different. With the Broncos sitting at 3-2 headed into a primetime Week 6 home game against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football, Nix is under fire after seeming lost in the offense, as if he doesn’t know what he’s doing. That led ESPN’s Dan Graziano to speculate that the Broncos might not have much patience for letting Nix work things out if their season starts to go down the tubes…

The Broncos' outside linebacker will spend his sixth week on the commissioner's exempt (paid leave) list because of two arrests in June.

Many believed Broncos‘ first-year play-caller Davis Webb was the catalyst for Denver’s struggles over the first month of the season. Hopes were high for their Week 5 matchup against the Chargers, with Webb getting benched as the play-caller ahead of the AFC West clash. However, the offense remained stagnant in the narrow 23-17 victory. Naturally, the sights have now been firmly set on Nix. Nix’s 123 passing yards against Los Angeles were the second-fewest of his career (the only time he had fewer was in a torrential downpour against the Jets during his rookie season). Some have begun to believ…

The Denver Broncos eked out a win over the winless Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5 without their starting cornerbacks, Patrick Surtain II (ankle) and Riley Moss (ribs). They don’t want to make a habit of it.

The Denver Broncos got a 23-17 Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Chargers to advance to a 3-2 record on the season. However, it wasn’t without some questionable play from quarterback Bo Nix.

On Monday, during a guest appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Dan Orlovsky explained what he’s seeing from the 26-year-old signal-caller.

Nix threw for just 123 yards in the Broncos' 23-17 win Sunday against the Chargers.

Broncos scored rare first-half TD thanks to forced fumble by safety Hufanga. Denver offense scored 20 points off 4 less-than 42-yard drives.

Entering the 2026 season, Denver spoke repeatedly about the need to force more turnovers compared to a year ago. The Broncos’ three-takeaway performance against the Chargers in Week 5 was just the latest example of Denver living up to that standard.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Coming off a 23-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, the Denver Broncos sit at 3-2 following a grueling five-game stretch to start the season.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton wasn’t particularly interested in discussing quarterback Bo Nix’s confidence level following Sunday’s 23-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was considerably more willing to discuss the problems with Denver’s offense, especially since it was the first game resuming playcalling duties after relieving Davis Webb. During an October 12 conference call with reporters, Payton was asked where he believes Nix’s confidence stands after another uneven offensive performance.

No one has more QB hits sine the start of 2024 than Zach Allen, and he is in range to set the single-season QB hits record.

The Denver Broncos got the win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and they could see further justice over a play involving quarterback Bo Nix. During the fourth quarter of the contest, Nix found teammate Jaylin Waddle for a 10-yard gain to the Chargers 11-yard line on a second-and-3 play. However, officials flagged Chargers safety Tony Jefferson for roughing the passer. That gifted the Broncos 15 free yards and a fresh set of downs (which they already had). “It’s not a penalty if you’re blocked into the quarterback’s legs,” CBS Sports’ Ross Tucker said during the broadcast after the call came in f…

The Denver Broncos kept the Los Angeles Chargers winless, escaping with a come-from-behind win, 23-17, at SoFi Stadium. The Broncos needed a key defensive stop and back-to-back field goals from kicker Wil Lutz, which capped off a 13-o run, to complete the hard-earned victory and improve to 3-2. While it was not pretty, Denver showed resolve in crunch time. Quarterback Bo Nix went 16-of-27 for 123 yards and one touchdown, connecting with wide receiver Courtland Sutton on a five-yard toss in the fourth quarter to start their furious rally. The 26-year-old Nix acknowledged that they are still a w…

The Denver Broncos bounced back from their Week 4 loss by securing a 23-17 win over Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers.

Dobbins praised Payton’s understanding of his playing style and explained how their familiarity helped create a stronger connection on the field. “Coach Sean Payton knows me well,” Payton said. “He knows me very well. He knows me well, and I know him well. You can see the chemistry between us and the team, t…

Jeff Legwold breaks down how the Broncos defense was the reason for their Week 5 win over the Chargers.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Through five weeks of the season, the Denver Broncos‘ offense is regressing in Bo Nix‘s third year in the NFL. During Nix’s rookie season in 2024, the Broncos’ offense ranked 10th in points per game (25) and 19th in yards per game (324.6). Last year, in Bo’s second year, Denver‘s offense ranked 14th in points per game (23.6) and 10th in yards per game (342.6). However, through the first five games of the 2026 season, the Broncos’ offense ranks 30th in yards per game (269) and 25th in points per game (19.5). A significant reason for that is the quarterback’s play. Nix’s stru…

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is playing without one thing the team absolutely needs him to find right away. How quickly can he find it?

— Jim Harbaugh is blaming the winless Los Angeles Chargers’ latest loss on himself.

The Denver Broncos beat the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5, but that did not come without the same Bo Nix concerns.

Wil Lutz kicked a go-ahead 19-yard field goal with 5:07 remaining, lifting the Denver Broncos over the winless and mistake-prone Los Angeles Chargers 23-17 on Sunday.

The Denver Broncos have every bit of a must-win game in Week 5, and if they lose, it's time to hit the panic button.

Denver Broncos' CB Patrick Surtain II went down with an injury in Week 4. Is he playing in Week 5? We have you covered here.

The Denver Broncos announced a pair of roster moves that had nothing to do with All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain II. That is undoubtedly good news. “#Broncos biggest mode today is in absentia. No IR for Pat Surtain II. Not a big surprise but still important,” the Denver Post’s Parker Gabriel posted on X in reaction to the lack of roster activity around the 2024 Defensive Player of the Year. “Denver hoping he’s back within a couple of weeks.

Veteran right tackle also has the challenge of blocking the side where QB Nix often escapes.

The Denver Broncos‘ defense has been one of the league’s most disappointing units through the first quarter of the season. They’ve given up the fifth-most yards (375 per game) and fourth-most rushing yards (142.8 per game). Their performance can be viewed in stark contrast to last season, when they finished no worse than sixth in any major defensive category. To Denver’s credit, they’ve played some fierce offenses over the past month. They were expected to have an equally fierce defense, though. Some think they could look to the trade market to fix what ails them. CBS Sports writer Jordan Daja…

The Broncos' offense ranks near the bottom of NFL through 4 games. Now Payton takes back the play-calling role he had given to Webb before the season.

“We know what our mission is,” guard Quinn Meinerz said. “It’s about going 1-0 every single week.”

The Denver Broncos enter Week 5 with an opening in their receiving rotation, but fantasy managers should resist treating Pat Bryant’s absence as an automatic breakout signal for Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle. The Broncos placed Bryant on injured reserve Friday because of an ankle injury. Sutton and Waddle carry no game designation, leaving both available for Sunday’s clash vs. the Los Angeles Chargers. Denver holds a 2-2 record into SoFi Stadium against the 0-4 Chargers. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET, or 1:05 p.m. PT. For fantasy purposes, the distinction matters. Bryant’s absence…

It was a week of major change for Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Davis Webb. On Thursday, head coach Sean Payton reclaimed offensive playcalling duties after the team’s 2-2 start to the season. Speaking to reporters Friday, Webb made a blunt admission after being asked whether four games were a large enough sample to justify the move. “Luckily that’s not my job, that’s [Payton’s] job,” said Webb. “I think he answered that. I think the world of him, how we’ve gone about it … it’s not ideal, but in the same breath, we’re 2-2 in the first four games, our first four opponents were a combined…

Denver Broncos starting quarterback Bo Nix has still proven to be clutch, but he has not been good so far in the 2026 season. Has he regressed?

The Denver Broncos shifted gears around quarterback Bo Nix, with head coach Sean Payton taking back play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Davis Webb. Denver’s offense has largely been stuck in the mud to start this season. And while the slow start is not exactly out of character for Payton’s Broncos, the decision to pull the plug on Webb as a play-caller comes off as at least a mild surprise. Former Broncos QB Ben DiNucci believes Payton is at least partly to blame, but so is Nix. “Here’s my thoughts on what’s going on in Denver,” DiNucci said in a post on X on October 9, rattling off…

The Denver Broncos have a flat-out bad rushing offense thus far, and it might be time to give RJ Harvey a chance to shine.

The Denver Broncos saw three key players go down in Week 4, but they may have avoided a worst-case scenario with two of them.

The Denver Broncos are off to a bit of a shaky 2-2 start this season after making it all the way to the AFC Championship Game. The Denver defense has been sloppy, but Vance Joseph and company are starting to find their groove this season and played a strong game on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. But the offense has been the major talking point in Denver so far this year. Save for a strong second half in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams, Davis Webb’s play-calling and Bo Nix’s quarterbacking have both faced heavy criticism from fans. Nix also isn’t using his legs as much this season,…

The Denver Broncos' pass rush has been the best in the NFL since 2024, but some costly offseason losses (and important data) show us some rough regression.

The Denver Broncos were unable to get their offense untracked against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4. The Broncos were held to 14 points and this has been an issue throughout the first quarter of the season. The Broncos are near the bottom of the rankings of the key offensive stats and everybody is looking at 31-year-old first-year play caller Davis Webb. He appears to have a slew of talented offensive players led by QB Bo Nix, RB J.K. Dobbins along with WRs Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton, but the Broncos have been a pedestrian offensive team in three of their four games. The Nix-Waddle…

Sean Payton could be nearing a major change to the Denver Broncos’ offense, with NFL insiders increasingly expecting him to reclaim play-calling duties from Davis Webb.

The Denver Broncos could be in a position to buy at the 2026 NFL Trade Deadline, but who should the team try to target?

Sean Payton had plenty of history with Dre Greenlaw heading into the Denver Broncos’ Week 4 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. That history became impossible to ignore after Greenlaw confronted Payton during and after San Francisco’s 24-14 win. Greenlaw spent the 2025 season with Denver before returning to the 49ers this year. His departure from the Broncos left him with unresolved feelings toward Payton, making Sunday’s game particularly personal. Payton, though, did not appear interested in escalating the situation. After the game, he explained what he told 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan about…

“You’re learning week by week a little bit about this year’s team,” Head Coach Sean Payton said Monday.

Broncos star cornerback Pat Surtain II avoided a worst-case scenario on his ankle injury, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

While Surtain was able to avoid a long-term, season-ending injury, the loss of him and Riley Moss puts the Broncos in a short-term bind.

Bo Nix entered the NFL as the sixth quarterback drafted in the 2024 NFL Draft class. Despite that, he has emerged as the best statistical performer and the most consistent winner among his QB peers. Just last season, Nix led the Denver Broncos to a deep playoff run, but a last-second ankle injury prevented him from competing in the AFC Championship Game and, therefore, all but eliminated the Broncos’ hopes of making the Super Bowl. Fully recovered from offseason surgery, though, Nix was expected to have a big third year in Denver, especially with a young, innovative mind like Davis Webb taking…

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Bo Nix had only two completions that traveled more than 10 yards in the air in the Denver Broncos‘ loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. On top of that, Nix’s first pass attempt more than 20 yards downfield didn’t come until the final two minutes of the game.

Former Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw did not hold back after getting a measure of revenge against Sean Payton and his old team.

The Denver Broncos had a chance to establish themselves as a Super Bowl contender on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, but that fell by the wayside in a 24-14 loss where the offense sputtered and the defense broke in the second half. While the loss is disappointing, especially in the way that the offense looked throughout the game, the Broncos have long-term concerns coming out of this game as well. Star cornerback Patrick Surtain II left the game with a non-contact ankle injury that left fans concerned about a potential serious injury. Thankfully, that is not the case. Surtain avoided a…

The Denver Broncos suffered a tough 24-14 Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, giving the club a 2-2 record on the season. However, the franchise was given bad news on Monday, as it appears Pat Bryant will be out with an injury for some time. After being carted off the field late in the third quarter, reports indicate that the 23-year-old wide receiver will miss a few weeks, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It’s said that Bryant is dealing with a sprained right ankle. “Broncos WR Pat Bryant sprained his ankle during Sunday’s loss at San Francisco, and now is expected to miss ‘a…

Before making their major draft decision, the Minnesota Vikings underwent a crucial evaluation process behind closed doors. According to a report from The New York Times, when elite prospects Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye were selected early, the Vikings’ key decision-makers ultimately focused on J.J. McCarthy. They believed he had a higher ceiling than Bo Nix, who is currently leading the offense for the Denver Broncos. This strong internal conviction drove the Vikings to trade up and secure McCarthy with the 10th overall pick. However, subsequent evaluations quickly revealed…

The Denver Broncos run game has been among the worst in the NFL this year. Could a trade for a veteran RB fix this issue?

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton certainly feels dangerously close to the Davis Webb decision nobody wanted to see before the season began.

A week in the NFL can feel like an eternity. Last Sunday night, Denver Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga recorded a heart-stopping 66-yard pick-six versus the Los Angeles Rams and clinched the victory for his team with another interception on reigning MVP Matthew Stafford. This past Sunday evening, the All-Pro found himself unable to catch former San Francisco 49ers teammate George Kittle on a back-breaking 56-yard touchdown with 2:15 remaining on the clock. If this dramatic reversal of fortunes was not sobering enough, Hufanga had to hear the star tight end crack jokes afterwards. “Outrunning ol…

After the Broncos managed only six points through the first 55 minutes against San Francisco, Payton was asked if that arrangement could change. “It’s too early to… it’s a fair question.

The Denver Broncos dropped to 2-2 after losing to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4. Who were the game's biggest winners and losers?

It is easy to imagine San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw circling Week 4 on his calendar as soon as the NFL released this season’s schedule. He probably had one thing in mind: Revenge. It came sweetly for Greenlaw—maybe a little too sweetly—after the 49ers defeated the Denver Broncos, 24-14, at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday. The Broncos released Greenlaw in the offseason after just one year, leading to his reunion with San Francisco. Getting let go by Denver left a bad taste in Greenlaw’s mouth. The mercurial enforcer grew angry with Broncos coach Sean Payton, claiming that he felt disresp…

Denver Broncos star wide receiver and Bo Nix hype man Courtland Sutton finished with one catch for four yards in Week 4’s 24-14 loss at San Francisco, leading to a response from coach Sean Payton. Sutton, who had a 1,000-plus yard season with young QB Bo Nix at the controls of his team’s offense in 2025, has just 86 yards heading into Week 5 (after hyping up new offensive coordinator Davis Webb’s system), prompting concerns from Payton. Payton said that time is of the essence as he was quoted by Zac Stevens of DNVR Broncos. “How do we get him away from the rotation…There are a handful of thing…

The concern was palpable for the Denver Broncos after Patrick Surtain II suffered an ankle injury against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday. The non-contact injury happened in the second quarter, as Surtain tried to cover Jacob Bowing. He hopped on one leg before going straight to the locker room. He did not return to the contest. The Broncos lost to the 49ers, 24-14, and fell to 2-2. Surtain had four tackles in his brief time on the field.

The Broncos will be without just one player for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco.

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix has dominated the NFC in his career, and that needs to remain the case in Week 4 against San Francisco.

The Denver Broncos passed on too many good linebackers in the 2026 offseason, and another staggering stat proves they got it wrong with Alex Singleton

The Denver Broncos are aiming for their third straight win as they take on the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday. The Broncos are also looking to put a blemish on the 49ers’ immaculate record. While Denver took care of business against the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Los Angeles Rams, the offense has left much to be desired. The Broncos are second-to-last in rushing yards in the NFL, averaging just 81.0, trailing only the Green Bay Packers’ 48.7. Davis Webb’s first year as offensive coordinator has been rocky, but he expressed confidence that they can improve their running game.…

The Denver Broncos appear to have a Super Bowl team, but that only remains the case if the roster-building keeps up through 2026.

The Denver Broncos clearly aren't getting good enough play from the linebacker group. Could Bobby Wagner help in some capacity?

Here's everything to know about the Broncos' Week 4 game against the 49ers.

There was a crucial call that was made late in the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams game, and it may have led the former to victory. The Broncos had the ball and had the chance to either tie the game with a field goal or score a touchdown. On third down, the refs called pass interference against the Rams, and it helped the Broncos get an automatic first down, and they eventually scored a touchdown. Pat Bryant was the receiver who had the call made for him, and there has been some discourse on him potentially flopping. Jason Kelce was the latest person to share his thoughts on the call, and…

The San Francisco 49ers have been an absolute machine so far in 2026. The Niners opened their season with a dominant win over the Los Angeles Rams before running all over both the Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals to earn a spot as one of just five teams in the league to sit at 3-0 on the season. In Week 4, they will face arguably their toughest test yet as they look to retain that unbeaten record. The Denver Broncos will be out in the Bay Area for a blockbuster clash that is one of the best on the slate in Week 4 around the NFL. Denver is currently sitting at 2-1 despite not playing its be…

Jaylen Waddle quickly erased concerns about his health Wednesday. He returned as a full participant at Denver Broncos practice just days after being spotted wearing a walking boot following Sunday night’s dramatic victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Waddle’s postgame appearance in the protective boot immediately raised questions about his availability for Denver’s Week 4 trip to face the San Francisco 49ers. That was particularly after he dealt with lower-body tightness during training camp. Those concerns, however, seem to have been premature. According to The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider, head co…

Rams head coach Sean McVay says the NFL told the team that defensive pass interference should not have been called against cornerback Josh Wallace in Sunday night's loss to the Broncos.

“As we called everyone up [in the huddle, the message] was, ‘October was good for us a year ago, and that’s because you guys made it a priority during the week,’” Payton said Wednesday. “.... We're early in this race."

The Denver Broncos got a big win on Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams, and it came down to the final minutes of the game. With the Broncos’ offense having the ball, they drove down the field and could either tie the game with a field goal or score a touchdown. It was third down, and the refs called pass interference against the Rams, which led the Broncos to get closer to the end zone and eventually score a touchdown. Pat Bryant was the person who was held up on the call, and after the game, he was asked if he sold the call to get the first down. “It was a little pass interfer…

Somehow, the Broncos keep finding ways to overcome their slow first-half starts, pulling off frenetic second-half comeback wins -- including in Week 3 against the Rams.

Panic briefly rippled through Denver Broncos nation on Sunday night after star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was spotted wearing a protective walking boot on his right foot following a thrilling 30-26 comeback victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Given Waddle’s central role in Denver’s evolving offense, seeing the dynamic wideout limping out of the stadium naturally sparked widespread concern across the fan base. Fortunately for the Mile High faithful, early reports indicate there is no genuine reason to sound the alarm. According to team insider Zac Stevens, multiple league sources confirmed over…

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton knows all too well what it is like to be on the wrong end of a controversial call. However, during Sunday night’s 33-30 comeback win over the Los Angeles Rams, the tables may have turned. Denver trailed 26-23 when quarterback Bo Nix appeared to throw toward the sideline on a third-down play. Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace intercepted the pass and appeared to secure the ball with both feet inbounds. However, Wallace was flagged for defensive pass interference against Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant, wiping out the apparent interception. Nix later…

“We’ve got a lot of stuff to work on,” tight end Adam Trautman said Monday. “… Obviously, we’ve got to figure out a way to stay ahead of the chains and really get to what we game-planned and kind of how we want to attack the defense. We just have to sustain drives.”

The Denver Broncos once again needed late-game magic to seal a victory. Let's dive into the positives and negatives from Week 3.

The Denver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Rams Sunday Night Football game was loaded with superstars. While the Rams were without Myles Garrett and Puka Nacua, they still had the reigning MVP, Matthew Stafford, and former three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald. Denver, meanwhile, has offseason trade acquisition Jaylen Waddle, the best cornerback in football in Patrick Surtain, and quarterback Bo Nix, who just keeps finding ways to win. The Broncos did just that with an iconic comeback victory. After going scoreless in the first half, Denver was able to win by a score of 30-26. One unher…

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton made some comments after his team's epic win against the Rams indicating he needs more from quarterback Bo Nix.

Talanoa Hufanga rose as the momentum swinger in the 30-26 Denver Broncos comeback win over the Los Angeles Rams. He plucked two Matthew Stafford passes to boost the Broncos’ winning bid, and he dropped a hilarious faith admission regarding his pick-6 of Stafford. Hufanga handed Denver the lead on his 66-yard touchdown return. But he turned to Jesus for another reason. “I passed the tight end off to Jesus to cover him,” Hufanga said via NFL insider for Sports Illustrated Albert Breer. Hufanga’s “prayer” certainly helped in that moment. Especially for a Broncos team that trailed 16-0 at halftime…

Pat Bryant had a momentum-swinging touchdown grab and a 2-point conversion catch. His biggest play of the game, though, may have been an effective sales job.

The Denver Broncos have now won two games in a row. Have they done enough to take back the top spot in the AFC West?

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix once again showed up in the clutch, and his late-game production since 2025 is almost too good to believe.

The Denver Broncos beat the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3 on Sunday Night Football. Let's get into our weekly winners and losers.

Hufanga finished Sunday’s game with five tackles, three passes defensed, two interceptions and a sack.

These are the players and plays that led to the Broncos' dramatic Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

The Denver Broncos are basking in the glow of a 30-26 home win over the Los Angeles Rams that included an honest assessment after Bo Nix’s heroics. A game-saving interception from Talanoa Hufanga was important, but not the biggest play of the day that head coach Sean Payton pointed to afterward. Payton, whose Broncos are now 2-1 in a dogfight of a season so far, pointed to a return from Kolbe Katsis as a huge difference-making play. Katsis, an undrafted rookie receiver out of Northern Arizona, made his rookie debut, reeling off a 28-yard punt return that sparked his team. “The one return was a…

It was not pretty, but the Denver Broncos hacked out a come-from-behind win over the Los Angeles Rams, 30-26, at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday. Bo Nix scored the game-winning touchdown on a one-yard sneak, helping the Broncos improve to 2-1. Nix went 17-of-34 for 186 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He also made big plays in the fourth quarter, including a 39-yard pass to Pat Bryant. The second-year quarterback was impressive in the down-to-the-wire affair, but coach Sean Payton was not too satisfied with their performance, as reported by The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider. “The m…

Talanoa Hufanga came through for the Denver Broncos as he had Matthew Stafford’s number with two crucial interceptions in the team’s 30-26 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Hufanga has been playing in the NFL since 2021, going through his second season with the Broncos. He has cemented his role in the defense as a star tackler and pass rusher, disrupting opposing quarterbacks with his playmaking. Hufanga got to let these remarkable qualities shine against Los Angeles. He flourished in the fourth quarter when he picked off one of Stafford’s passes to return the ball to the end zone…

Denver Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga has dropped countless interceptions in his time with the team, but not on Sunday Night Football.

The Denver Broncos pulled off the wild comeback against the Los Angeles Rams, 30-26, on Sunday, highlighted by Bo Nix’s game-winning touchdown. With only 48 seconds left in the game, Nix leaped over the line for the one-yard score, whipping Empower Field at Mile High into a frenzy. Denver clawed back from a 16-point deficit at halftime.

The Denver Broncos did it again, and quarterback Bo Nix once again showed the NFL world why it's wrong to doubt him.

Matthew Stafford hit rare NFL history early against the Denver Broncos. But the home team delivered an energizing late charge in erasing a 16-0 deficit. Which also involved Talanoa Hufanga causing the venue to shake in excitement. Hufanga, a past Rams thorn from his San Francisco 49ers days, turned the tide toward Denver’s direction.

The Broncos have made a series of roster moves ahead of their “Sunday Night Football” game against the Rams.

It’s been a tale of two weeks for both the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Rams so far in 2026, and now the two collide in Week 3 with both looking to get above .500 for the first time on the young season. The Rams were humiliated in prime time to open the season in Australia, falling to the 49ers 27-7 in a lifeless performance that was surely affected by their bizarre travel plans. In Week 2, they responded with a dominant 28-6 drubbing of the New York Giants on Monday night to get back to 1-1. Now, it will be a third consecutive prime time game for Sean McVay and company. The Broncos also…

The Denver Broncos host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3. Could this be a preview of Super Bowl LXI?

The Denver Broncos will have to watch out for a handful of Rams players who may fly under the radar entering Week 3.

"You just know it’s a big deal, you know it’s a big game,” quarterback Bo Nix said. "You know two good teams are playing against each other. For us — we say it all the time — we know we’ll play in bigger games. But right now, this is the next-biggest one.”

The Denver Broncos received mostly encouraging news regarding their running back room Friday as they prepare for their Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. RJ Harvey and J.K. Dobbins carry no game designation after dealing with injuries during the week, while Jonah Coleman has been ruled out for Sunday night’s game. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reacted to Denver’s final injury report Friday via X, formerly known as Twitter. “Some (mostly good) RB news…” Rapoport wrote. Harvey, who dealt with a hamstring injury following Denver’s season opener, was a limited participant Wednesday before p…

The Broncos are set to regain a key player on offense.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has a chance to make his mark on franchise history at the perfect time. He needs at least 5 catches vs. the Rams.

The Overland flag football team, coached by Austin Conway, won four straight games in a span of seven days, and has improved to 5-3 for the season and is ranked No. 22 in 5A.

A big part of Sean Payton’s offense is their usage of running backs. Payton places heavy emphasis on the run game, so it’s important for the Denver Broncos to have their running backs available for their games. So when both JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey landed on the injury report before their Week 3 clash against the Los Angeles Rams, there was some concern. Thankfully, it seems like both players are back and ready for action. After being listed as limited during their Wednesday practice, both Dobbins and Harvey were full participants during the Broncos’ Thursday practice. This likely sets them up…

The challenge for the Broncos doesn’t stop on “Sunday Night Football,” as reigning MVP Matthew Stafford leads a potent offense — one that led the NFL in total offense and scoring offense in 2025 — into Denver in Week 3.

The Denver Broncos face a challenging assignment in Week 3 when they host the Los Angeles Rams in Sunday night football. While the Rams were beaten badly in the season-opening game against the San Francisco 49ers, Sean McVay’s team responded well to that defeat with a one-sided triumph in Week 2 over the New York Giants.

A pair of Broncos running backs have improved to full practice participants ahead of Week 3.

It’s a scintillating matchup on Sunday Night Football as the Los Angeles Rams, hoping to have Puka Nacua back, travel to take on the Denver Broncos. Some have tabbed the game as a potential Super Bowl preview. The Rams have posted a Jekyll-and-Hyde start. The 49ers absolutely embarrassed them in the opener, perhaps thanks to Sean McVay’s wacky travel itinerary. Then they crushed the Giants on Monday Night Football. Meanwhile, the Broncos also suffered a thorough embarrassment in the opener. They could not keep up with the Chiefs. But in Week 2, they escaped the Jaguars. One of these teams will…

Here's everything to know about the Broncos' Week 3 game versus the Rams.

The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks have been the topic of discussion this week, and it’s not because of what they’re doing on the field to start the season. Head coach Mike Macdonald was caught on video talking about a time when Sean Payton was mad at him after he assumed they had somebody watching them practice. Apparently, that clip of Macdonald talking about it was never supposed to get out, and he apologized earlier in the week for the mishap. Payton shared his sentiments about the entire situation, and instead of having anger towards the situation, he says that it made the Broncos be…

Alvin Kamara made his season debut in Week 2, helping the New Orleans Saints upset the Baltimore Ravens, 24-17, at M&T Bank Stadium. Kamara missed their season opener against the Detroit Lions while recovering from an MCL injury. But after feeling great in the lead-up to their clash with the Ravens, the veteran star made his much-anticipated return. He had nine carries for 15 yards. He also tallied five receptions for seven yards. The 31-year-old running back is still trying to regain his rhythm and timing, and working hard in practice is a must. Kamara improved his work ethic after then-coach…

The Los Angeles Rams looked like they were one of the most overrated teams the NFL had ever seen in their Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams traveled 17 time zones away to Melbourne, Australia to take on their division rivals. They were thoroughly whipped. Many of the league’s top observers and so-called experts had predicted the Rams would be the best team in the NFL this season. They went into shock over the 27-7 defeat. The Rams demonstrated that the flukish loss does not have anything to do with reality. They returned home for their Week 2 game against the New York Giants and…

“It’s going to be another fun and exciting battle at Empower [Field at Mile High],” cornerback Pat Surtain II said. “We’ve got a great challenge ahead of us."

Mims (foot), who was listed as a limited participant, did not practice last week and did not play against the Jaguars in Week 2.

The Denver Broncos looked like two different teams in Week 1 and Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season, with the first game ending in an unflattering loss and the second ending in a hard-fought win.

The Denver Broncos opted to utilize a running back by committee system this year. That decision has proven wise, as all three of the team’s ball carriers are already dealing with injury issues. J.K. Dobbins, the team’s starting running back, left the Week 2 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars with cramping/hamstring issues. RJ Harvey missed that game because of a hamstring injury, but he is progressing in his recovery. Jonah Coleman was the standout ball carrier in the absence of the other two, as he was able to punch the ball into the end zone for his first career score. However, Coleman suf…

The Pueblo County football team, coached by Ramon Enriquez, is 4-0 and ranked No. 3 in 3A.

The Denver Broncos entered the win column in Week 2 after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars, 20-13, at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday. The Broncos used a 17-point surge in the second half to fend off the Jaguars, who were looking for their 10th straight win in the regular season dating back to last year. Bo Nix went 22-of-31 for 288 yards and one touchdown. He had a field day throwing the ball to Jaylen Waddle, who had eight receptions for 138 yards. FanDuel TV’s Kay Adams pointed out that Nix threw for 9.3 yards per dropback, the highest average for the Broncos since Peyton Manning threw…

Coleman recorded 58 total yards and a touchdown in Denver’s Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

“MDA Space represents the innovation, ambition and pioneering spirit that we value at the Denver Broncos,” said Dennis Moore, Broncos Chief Commercial Officer.

"The second half is what we see ourselves as," tight end Evan Engram said. "… We’re going to strive to have more days like that."

On Sunday, the Denver Broncos picked up their first win of the 2026 NFL season with a comeback victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars at home. The Broncos didn’t have a great start to this one, but ultimately outscored the Jaguars 14-0 in the fourth quarter to pull away and get into the win column. Now, Broncos head coach Sean Payton has revealed a key injury update–about himself. “#Broncos coach Sean Payton said he has had a procedure on his back, which was an injection. Said it gets aggravated when standing for three or four hours. But there is no surgery planned. Said he also has a ‘toe issu…

On Sunday afternoon, the Denver Broncos picked up their first win of the season with a comeback victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars at home. The Broncos outscored the Jaguars 14-0 in the fourth quarter, ultimately winning by a final score of 20-13. The Broncos received a scare when running back JK Dobbins went down with an apparent hamstring injury, but on Monday, the team got a positive update on that front. “Broncos RB JK Dobbins, who left Sunday’s win over the Jaguars with a hamstring injury, is ‘good,’ source said. They face the Rams next Sunday night,” reported NFL insider Tom Pelissero…

“Kind of felt like it was really a tale of two halves,” Head Coach Sean Payton said after the Broncos’ 20-13 win over the Jaguars.

The Denver Broncos escaped their Week 2 home opener with a 20-13 comeback victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. They also potentially avoided a major injury blow. Starting running back JK Dobbins left Sunday’s game with a hamstring issue. He was initially listed as questionable to return. This prompted Denver to lean on Jonah Coleman for rushing duties. However, NFL insider James Palmer reported after the game that Dobbins is dealing with a “slight hamstring issue.” There appears to be optimism inside the organization that he can return for next Sunday night’s matchup against the Los Angeles…

The defense limited Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville offense to three points in the second half — and none over the final 24 minutes — allowing Bo Nix to stage a comeback as the Broncos rallied for a 20-13 win Sunday.

“You can see the explosiveness, the run after the catch, all of those things,” Head Coach Sean Payton said. “I’m glad he’s ours.”

“That’s a really good offense,” Head Coach Sean Payton said. “When you looked at last year’s game, I thought they were outstanding. They were going to make their plays, but it was a much different game than a year ago. We had our hands on a few others, but we got off the field on third down. That was good.”

These are the players and plays that led to the Broncos' Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Broncos will kick off their 2026 home slate against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Broncos have announced their inactive players for Sunday’s matchup with the Jaguars.

The Denver Broncos didn’t open the season how they wanted last week against the Kansas City Chiefs, losing 31-10. There were a lot of glaring issues for the team, but the one that stood out the most was the offensive struggles, as they only produced 176 yards from scrimmage. All eyes were on offensive coordinator Davis Webb, who is set to take over the playcalling this season. Webb has already received criticism from fans, but head coach Sean Payton and the team are sticking by him and have a “high level of confidence and comfort” with him, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Payton shared his…

The Broncos have added a pair of veterans to their game-day roster for the second consecutive week.

The Broncos are set to wear their Sunset Orange jerseys for the first time in the 2026 season.

"Every week is a new challenge,” cornerback Pat Surtain II said Thursday. "We all know that as a team, but we just have to focus on getting better day-by-day and homing in on the small details. I think that’s what’s going to separate us."

The Broncos’ second-year running back is officially questionable to play in Denver’s home opener.

Following the Broncos’ initial practice of the week, wide receiver Courtland Sutton said he’s seen “an attitude of accountability [and] an attitude of wanting to get better and improving” from his teammates.

In its second season of flag football, Monarch, coached by Colin Hart, is off to a 6-1 start and the No. 5 ranking in 4A after going 9-7 last season.

The Broncos did not practice on Wednesday, which makes the injury report an estimation of their participation levels if the team held a practice.

Olathe, coached by Tyler Vincent, is 3-0 and ranked No. 4 in 1A just three seasons after not fielding a varsity team.

“One game doesn’t define our season or who we are,” tackle Mikle McGlinchey said. “We’ve just got to learn how to get better from it.”
