After humble beginnings in the AFL, the Broncos have gone on to make eight Super Bowl appearances. The Broncos have had some great defenders in the history of their franchise. They’ve had an exceptionally high amount of great linebackers in particular. A few guys who didn’t quite make the list include Tom Jackson, Rich Jackson, and Rick Upchurch. If I had started my list from 1960, I would probably have put Lionel Taylor on it. The guys who did make the list are pretty good.

Last season, football fans thought that the Denver Broncos were going to be a contender in the AFC after the team traded for QB Russell Wilson. "Broncos country, let's ride!" was the theme throughout the preseason in anticipation for a huge season. Nobody is riding any more after the Broncos went 5-12.

The Denver Broncos fired head coach Nathaniel Hackett in the middle of his first season with the team due to poor performance, leading the team to a losing record despite major offseason acquisitions, including a massive trade for quarterback Russell Wilson.

This offseason many teams have been looking to hire new coaches. However, out of all coaches, one stood above the rest. That coach is former Super Bowl-winning coach Sean Payton. After having it look like Sean Payton would sit out the 2023 season and remain in broadcasting for another year, we now know he will be returning to coaching.

Indianapolis Colts Safety: Rodney McLeod explains how after a character win against Denver on TNF, they must carry that into the next game. "It doesn't have to be pretty, as long as you walk away with a win."

Jerraud Powers and Lawrence Owen discuss the deep ball accuracy, and mobility of the Denver Broncos QB: Russell Wilson, and what the Indianapolis colts need to do to limit him.

The Texans looked like their former selves of last year in this one. Denver simply looked like the better team overall. I don't want to put too much on this game for either team because we have a long season ahead of us but time will tell.

The Seahawks were underdogs but they definitely came to play. It was an exciting game, big hits, big plays and big turnovers from both teams. Geno looked seasoned and if he can play like he did today, the Seahawks have hopes to compete in the tough NFC West. I won't sleep on the Broncos until they give me more reasons to do so. On paper they're still one of the best teams in the league and I still see them being playoff contenders.

The Broncos practice squad is beginning to be formed with a majority of the spots being filled after the NFL cut down day.

So join Broncos Breakdown host Matthew Peterson for the near complete list of the 2022 Broncos practice squad! #NFL

A competitive game but the Broncos pulled it out. The run game seemed to work from the start. Mike Boone had some dominant tackling breaking runs and finished averaging 8.8 yards per carry. Divine Ozigbo came in after and averaged 4.5 ypc and put up 59 yards. Seth Williams made plays and looks to hopefully bring some depth with Tim Patrick out for the season. Ty Chandler still looks like RB2 in my eyes. Ihmir Smith Marsette looked pretty seasoned I just hope his production can translate to the regular season as well.
