Broncos vs. Packers: Wednesday practice participation report

The Denver Broncos are getting healthier at just the right moment as both defensive lineman D.J. Jones and tight end Nate Adkins returned to practice on Wednesday. Adkins had been out for quite a while, so that is a significant development.

Speaking of significant developments, offensive guard Ben Powers has been designated to return from injured reserve after a long two month absence recovering from a biceps injury. This opens up his 21-day practice window. Mike Klis of 9News did note that he is unlikely to be available against the Green Bay Packers, but we could see him back in time for that Week 16 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Here is your full practice report for Wednesday.

Broncos vs Packers Week 15: Three keys to victory

16 times the Denver Broncos and the Green Bay Packers have faced off, with eight of those the Broncos have won. The Broncos have won two of the last three games. Nine times has Green Bay traveled to Denver and they’ve only one once. The Broncos hold the upper hand in this matchup that dates back to September of 1971, including a victory in Super Bowl XXXII.

Both of these teams lead their respective divisions. Both of these teams have a young quarterback that are primed for good and long careers. Both of these teams boast top-five defenses. But only one of these teams can leave Sunday with a win.

How can the Broncos once again take down the Packers?

1. Do what they did against the Raiders​

The offense was chugging against the Raiders last Sunday, and they did this with a pretty vanilla offensive scheme. They didn’t do anything flashy, there wasn’t that token trick play by Payton, and they didn’t air the ball out much. They didn’t need to do any of these things. The run game was producing chunk yardage nearly once a drive and Bo Nix was simply taking what the defense gave him. They were efficient, converted third downs, and stayed ahead of the chains nearly the entirety of the game.

If Nix can put up the same performance, then that’ll be huge. It seems like the rushing attack, lead by RJ Harvey, is getting going again, and there’s been a lack of offensive penalties.

The only thing they don’t need to repeat is the two sacks they gave up. While Garett Bolles may have finally given up one, they need him to be air-tight when he squares off against Micah Parsons. But I have plenty of confidence that the two best pass-blocking offensive tackles in the league will execute at a high level.

2. Force turnovers​

One way to stop a high-powered offense is to force mistakes. Big mistakes.

This Packers offense loves to hit these deep shots that keep their offense explosive and keeps the defense on their heels and always afraid of the next attack. If Jordan Love wants to air the rock out, then it’s up to this defensive secondary to make him pay. It’ll be a big game for Riley Moss as he’ll likely be targeted as much as he usually is, which is a lot. A pick for Moss would be massive.

And if the Packers want to try to get their mediocre rushing attack going, then the Broncos front seven has everything they need to stop Josh Jacobs in his tracks.

The defense has been a bit hit-or-miss since the bye week. This is a massive opportunity for Vance Joseph to get things churning again and put a hurting on Matt LaFleur’s team.

3. Hit Jordan Love​

Another way to keep the Packers from hitting these deep shots is to keep the pressure up on Love and make him uncomfortable in the pocket.

For the most part, the only way the Commanders and the Raiders were able to get their offense going was to get the ball out as quick as possible. Marcus Mariota did a great job of that, and that’s a huge reason he looked as good as he did on that Sunday night. I’d expect Love and the Packers do keep this trend going. Love is going to have to do everything he can to hit his first or second read, because if he has to double clutch, then there’s a high chance that he’s going down.

We know the Denver secondary is going to hold up their end of the bargain. Right now the Green Bay offensive line is only giving up 1.4 sacks per game, which is the fourth-best rate in the league. This is a big test for guys like Nik Bonitto, Jonathan Cooper, and the rest of the gang. Can they get home on Sunday? They’ll need to.

Thursday Night Football Week 15: Falcons at Buccaneers – Live Discussion

The playoff hopes for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are trending towards life support, so this home game against their NFC South rival Atlanta Falcons is massively important for them. Lose this game, then they are in trouble with the Carolina Panthers running hot and currently tied with them atop of the division.

Kickoff is set for Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 6:15 p.m. Mile High time at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida and will air on Prime Video.

My Prediction​

According to FanDuel, the Bucs at 5.5-point favorites over the Falcons here. The Bucs have won just one of their last five games, so I would normally not support them being favorite in any game – much less by 5+. However, the Falcons are an absolute dumpster fire right now having lost seven of their last eight. With Tampa fighting for their playoff lives and at home, I think they should easily come out with a win in this one. They certainly need a ‘get right’ type of game.

Prediction: Bucs 30, Falcons 20.

Broncos vs. Packers predictions: Final score picks for NFL Week 15

In the biggest game of the year for the Denver Broncos, if we’re strictly talking about national narratives around this team, they will host the Green Bay Packers. The prevailing opinion is that the Broncos are frauds and the Packers are legitimate contenders, which is why they are favored on the road here despite Denver having the best record in the NFL. Perhaps we’ll see some narratives destroyed on Sunday…

Broncos 33, Packers 23​

A loss to the Packers hurts the Broncos less than a loss to any remaining team on their schedule, but… a win would shut a lot of these haters up for a while. I’m all for making haters eat crow and hopefully we see the Broncos players feeling the same way on Sunday. I expect a high-intensity game from them and yet another convincing win to add to their already impressive win-streak. – Tim Lynch

Broncos 31, Packers 20​

I feel a big RJ Harvey game upcoming. He’ll total over 100 yards and 2 touchdowns while Bo Nix will be a consistent game manager of the offense. Nix and the OL will slow down the Packers pass rush while the Broncos pass rush will get after Jordan Love and force him into some mistakes. The home crowd and home field will factor in and the Broncos will win their 11th straight game and inch closer to locking up the AFC West and #1 seed in the AFC. – Scotty Payne

Broncos 24, Packers 20​

The Broncos are on the verge of punching their ticket to the postseason and earning their first AFC West title in a decade. The Packers are a formidable foe, but Denver has proven throughout the year they can grind out tough wins. This one likely comes down to the wire like many other games this season. I’m optimistic Denver can continue their recent success on offense and believe the defense will come through with a big turnover or two to help earn their twelfth win. – Chris Hart

Broncos 24, Packers 17​

My gut says to be worried. The Green Bay Packers have plenty of talent all over the place. They have talented skill players. Their quarterback is a top talent in the NFL. Their defense has a monster pass rusher. But the Broncos are home. The Broncos have the quarterback, pass rush from every position, and the NFL’s best corner to boot. I think Love is going to have trouble against our defense which is the difference in the game. – Sadaraine

Broncos 27, Packers 24​

For the most part it’s felt like each week is the biggest week of the season. I’d credit that mostly as a condition of having a massive winning streak and competing for the No. 1 seed, but the schedule also hasn’t been easy. This week there’s everything on the line. Possibly the top spot in the AFC, their double-digit winning streak, and their reputation amongst the league. I’m nervous, but this team has been full of surprises this year. If they can lock down Matt LaFleur and Jordan Love, then a big win awaits them. – Ross Allen

Broncos 17, Packers 13​

The sentiment that the Broncos should be worried about the Packers hangs over this week. It’s not a dark cloud. It’s a mark that Sean Payton’s team has reached a point where the “elite” teams of the NFL are the new measuring stick. The Packers weren’t a preseason contender because they have pretty uniforms. So, Bo Nix has a chance to make a statement about him QB play, while the Broncos have the opportunity to put themselves further ahead of the pack. The game will be a defensive struggle, but one offense will find a way to put their team over the top. Until it isn’t, it’s the Broncos. – Adam Malnati

Broncos 31, Packers 24​

Let’s pay homage to the best game in Broncos history. And just like Super Bowl 50 and the 2015 game in Denver, the Packers are the favorite and analyst/media darlings for this Sunday’s game, and their opponent is not to be taken seriously. But just like both of those games, the Broncos will come out victorious. Denver’s pass rush is going to make the game completely miserable for Love. Meanwhile, the Broncos running game will build off what it did in Las Vegas. And to really pay tribute to that magical day in San Diego, Nix will helicopter his way to a big first down en route to the game-winning touchdown. – Ian St. Clair

Broncos vs. Packers: Injury report for Week 15

The Denver Broncos have gotten heathier in Week 15 ahead of their home game against the Green Bay Packers. However, they will be without rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant this week. That could be why they picked up veteran Elijah Moore last week even if they two are not similar style players. They did get Nate Adkins back and that is a positive for the tight end room.

The bigger concern has to be the late addition of right tackle Mike McGlinchey, especially with the offensive line having to deal with the likes of Micah Parsons on Sunday. And since Sean Payton treats injury reporting like the movie Fight Club — meaning no one talks about it or asks about it — McGlinchey’s gameday availability will be critical to watch for on Sunday.

The Packers look like they got some good progress from running back Josh Jacobs. The venerable Bronco-killer is trending towards playing it looks like with his limited practice participation today. Good for him, potentially bad for us. In eight career games against Denver, he has piled up nearly 800 yards and 9 total touchdowns dating back to 2019.

Here is your full practice report for Friday.

Future Broncos: Prospects to Watch in 1st Round of College Football Playoff

College Bowl games start today with Boise State and Washington squaring off in the LA Bowl. Over the next week, a handful of other bowl matchups will happen. However, for this installment of Future Broncos, I thought highlighting the four College Football Playoff matchups that begin next week would be apt. There’s a lot of ground to cover so let’s just do that ahead of time. I’ll talk a little bit about each one and name some prospects to watch for each team. If you’re a fan of any of these teams and I’ve missed some draft eligible players, highlight them in the comments section.

No. 8 Oklahoma Sooners vs. No. 9 Alabama Crimson Tide | Friday, December 19

The winner of this matchup gets the chance to take on the #1 seed Indiana Hoosiers in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. Count me in as someone who felt Alabama didn’t deserve to make the 12-team playoff and believe Notre Dame got hosed out of a potential spot. Your mileage may vary.

This is a SEC rematch from November where the Sooners toppled the Crimson Tide on the road 23 to 21. I’d expect this game to be another close and hard-fought battle but will give the edge to the Sooners since they will be hosting this one in Norman.

Both teams have a strong slate of prospects, especially on the defensive side of the ball. One of my favorite fits for Denver is hybrid defender Samuel Omosigho. I’m not sure he declares as he has another year of eligibility, but he has been a Swiss Army knife for their defense and has tremendous athleticism and range. With respect to the Crimson Tide, I like LT Overton and Deontae Lawson as defensive prospects of interest for the Broncos.

Oklahoma Top Prospects:

• R Mason Thomas, EDGE
• Gracen Halton, DL
• Robert Spears-Jennings, DB
• Samuel Omosigho, Hybrid Defender
• Damonic Williams, DL
• Kendal Daniels, LB
• Febechi Nwajwu, OL
• Deion Burks, WR
• John Mateer, QB

Alabama Top Prospects:

• Kayden Proctor, OT
• LT Overton, DE
• Tim Keenan III, DL
• James Smith, DL
• Deontae Lawson, LB
• Keon Sabb, S
• Parker Brailsford, iOL
• Jaeden Roberts, OG
• Ty Simpson, QB
• Germie Bernard, WR

No. 7 Texas A&M Aggies vs. No. 10 Miami Hurricanes | Saturday, December 20

The winner of this matchup will have opportunity to battle the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Cotton Bowl on December 31. This should be a great matchup. Both teams have great offensive lines and some dynamic playmakers on both sides of the ball.

I think there are likely a dozen players or more between both teams who will have their names called in the 2026 NFL Draft. Arguably the top prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft, Miami standout pass rusher Reuben Bain Jr. has been nothing short of electric. One could argue Hurricanes offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa is a potential Top 10 selection and could be the first offensive lineman off the board in April.

Over the course of Future Broncos this collegiate season, I’ve talked about a few Aggies including linebacker Taurean York and offensive lineman Chase Bisontis, Ar’maj Reed-Adams, and Trey Zuhn III. If you are looking for potential offensive additions for Denver, running back Le’Veon Moss and wide receiver KC Concepcion are two guys to watch.

Texas A&M Top Prospects:

• Taurean York, LB
• Cashish Howell, EDGE
• Chase Bisontis, OG
• Ar’maj Reed-Adams, OG
• Le’Veon Moss, RB
• Trey Zuhn III, OT
• KC Concepcion, WR
• Sam M’Pemba, LB
• Scooby Williams, LB

Miami Top Prospects:

• Reuben Bain Jr., EDGE
• Francis Mauigoa, OT
• Akheem Mesidor, DL
• C.J. Daniels, WR
• Mark Fletcher Jr., RB
• Carson Beck, QB

Texas A&M linebacker Taurean York on how much he watches film: “Let’s just say I was watching South Carolina on the plane ride back from Missouri.”

No. 6 Ole Miss Rebels vs. No. 11 Tulane Green Wave | Saturday, December 20

The winner of this matchup will take on the Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl on New Years’ Day. While the Aggies and Hurricanes game should be quite exciting, I’m not as optimistic about this one. The Rebels decisively beat the Green Wave during the regular season 45-10. I don’t expect much of a different outcome in this one. Ole Miss should win this one quite easily.

Neither team boasts an elite prospect, but the Rebels have a handful of defenders and offensive players who will get picked in April. For Tulane, interior offensive lineman Shadre Hurst has impressed. He was a first-team American Conference selection and will be a Day 3 pick come Spring. A lot of Tulane’s best players are underclassmen and not draft eligible.

Ole Miss Top Prospects:

• Suntarine Perkins, LB
• Antonio Kite, CB
• Princewill Umanmielen, LB
• Luke Hasz, TE
• Trinidad Chambliss, QB
• Cayden Lee, WR
• De’Zhaun Stribling, WR

Tulane Top Prospects:

• Shadre Hurst, OL

Ole Miss's Suntarine Perkins might be my favorite prospect I watched all summer. Can't remember someone his size (6-1, 210) playing on the line of scrimmage in a major conference and still being a difference maker.

No. 5 Oregon Ducks vs. No. 12 James Madison Dukes | Saturday, December 20

The winner of this matchup will battle Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Day. The Ducks are the heavy favorites in this one. You can tell that by the variance in the list of prospects to watch below. However, James Madison deserves a lot of credit for how far they’ve come in a short time.

Not too long ago, the Dukes were battling it out in the FCS under the leadership of Curt Cignetti, who now coaches the top-ranked Hoosiers. Fast forward a few years later and Bob Chesney has coached them to 12-1 record overall, an undefeated 8-0 in Sun Belt conference play, and their first appearance in the College Football Playoff just four years into their FBS journey. That’s quite impressive.

Nevertheless, it would be a monumental upset if they were able to takedown the Ducks in Eugene. I don’t see Dan Lanning’s squad dropping this one. Nevertheless, crazier things have happened in college football, and I think this will be a fun game regardless.

Oregon Top Prospects:

• Kenyon Sadiq, TE
• Jamari Johnson, TE
• Isaiah World, OT
• Dillion Thieneman, S
• Matayo Uiagalelei, EDGE
• A’Mauri Washington, DT
• Mahki Hughes, RB
• Iapani Laloulu, iOL
• Dante Moore, QB
• Bryce Boettcher, LB

James Madison Top Prospects:

• Jordan Fuller, RB
• Morgan Suarez, K
• Trent Hendrick, LB
• Jacob Thomas, S
• Xavier Holmes, EDGE

Kenyon Sadiq is posting over a 2.00+ career yards per route run and 7.0+ YAC/REC through 3 years in Oregon.

The NFL is going to love this guy:

– Elite athlete
– Versatile skillset
– Mismatch nightmare

His skillset aligns with some of the best tight ends in football. pic.twitter.com/HYNBJNBruR

Ultimate Fan: Packers will be an ultimate test for the Broncos

Ultimate Fans, what a game this is going to be! In a matchup that a few pundits have called a potential “Super Bowl preview,” the Broncos have a big challenge ahead of them, but also a perfect opportunity. Not just to get to 12 wins and keep the No. 1 seed hopes alive, but also to prove to the rest of the NFL that this Broncos squad is for real.

Helping us think through this high-stakes game is rupnin38, a rookie to the UFG but a veteran to this matchup. In fact, his love for the Broncos was solidified with this historic Super Bowl XXXII matchup and has been tested year after year as he is married to a Packers fan (may the household remain intact following Sunday’s game!)

Heading into this home game, Denver is actually an underdog. But neither our UFGer nor our fearless QB care about those odds. It’s time to play football at Mile High, and our money is on Denver!

Week 15: Packers at Broncos​

MHR – Ten wins in a row. How significant do you think that is? How great did it feel to beat the Raiders twice this season once again?
Rupnin38: I think win streaks are overrated in the regular season, don’t get me wrong. What fan wouldn’t love a 20-game win streak?! It’s all about winning the postseason, that’s where I want to see the win streak (isn’t that right ‘07 Pats?) Any time we sweep anyone in the West is a great feeling; just bummed that sweep didn’t include a sweep of firings for the listless Raiders.

MHR – The Packers will be one of the toughest/best teams the Broncos play this season. In general, how do you think this game will play out – a defensive battle? An offensive shootout? A blow out one way or the other?
Rupnin38: Living in the heart of the Frozen Tundra and living in a divided household I see every Packers and Broncos game. The NFL is always unpredictable but I feel this is going to be a rock fight.

MHR – Jordan Love is having a good season – 22 TDs versus 4 INTs. Bo Nix is a little worse but comparable at 20 TDs versus 9 INTs. Both teams have some offensive weapons in their receiving corps but nothing crazy. And both have capable running backs that have run pretty well. But both also have very good defenses. So, will this game come down to which team has the better offense or the better defense?
Rupnin38: They are so evenly matched I think it comes down to glass half full or half empty scenario. The defenses on both sides are going to shine and the difference in this one will come down to which #10 finds their groove against a stingy D (or which D makes the biggest mistake).

MHR – Speaking of running backs, RJ Harvey seems to be improving. Do you think this could be a breakout game for him? Or is it time to see more Jaleel McLaughlin or Tyler Badie?
Rupnin38: Harvey having a breakout game is the key to this one offensively. If Harvey finds success early, it should open up the play action and deep shots for Bo, which should help quite a bit against da Pack.

MHR – Given that the Packers’ pass rush is going to be relentless, what kinds of playes, designed runs and off-script plays would you like to see on Sunday?
Rupnin38: Like I said above, the run game especially between the tackles has to be on point. I think mixing in some designed runs for Nix will keep them guessing. At the end of the day, in Payton I trust, and I have a feeling he’s especially got it out for NFC teams, so he’s going to have plenty of tricks up his sleeve.

MHR – Now speaking of that pass rush, Micah Parsons has 12.5 sacks, 39 tackles, 12 TFLs and 26 QB hits, plus 78 pressures. How does the Broncos’ O-line stop him?
Rupnin38: Don’t lose track of him. If they can communicate where he is and who’s responsible for what, the O-line will find success. Bo can help out a lot by making the right checks at the line.

MHR – Marvin Mims had a punt return for a TD last week and got AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Sean Payton promised more of him in the offense. Do you believe him? Would you like that to be true?
Rupnin38: Can anyone ever believe Payton? I do, though, believe we’re going to see more of Mims. December just feels like his month. Let’s see what Payton has been hiding from us all season!

MHR – The Broncos defense has been so good all season but it has shown a little more bend than I like to see when it comes to giving up some big plays, particularly in the flats or over the middle. How much of a problem could that be this weekend?
Rupnin38: Love has been fire with his deep ball of late, especially with Watson back in the mix. If the D can’t fix its communication errors and pass off of responsibility it’s going to be a long game. I think the D is up to the task and will look much better this week.

MHR – Which players on offense and defense need to be the MVPs of the game to make sure this ends in the W column?
Rupnin38: If Bo is the Offensive MVP then everyone else should be having an outstanding game.

Defensive MVP…I can only pick one? Zach Allen. If anyone on the line is the MVP that should mean Jacobs didn’t carve us up and Love definitely took some hits and was off rhythm.

MHR – The playoffs are well within Denver’s grasp but this will be a big test about how they can match up to better teams. What would tell you this Sunday that this Broncos team is ready for a deep playoff run?
Rupnin38: I think we are ready for a deep playoff run, but…a complete game from all three phases, not just 2nd and 4th quarter magic. Add on a two-score margin of victory even if it’s just 9 points would help our case.

MHR – Where did you expect this Broncos team to be this year by this point? Have your expectations been met, exceeded or not quite as good as you hoped?
Rupnin38: Honestly I thought we would be 2nd in the West behind those darned Chiefs with 3 or 4 losses. I thought the D would take a step back and our offense would be a top 10 unit. Overall you won’t hear me complaining. This season is what we’ve been waiting for…18-2 until we’re not!

The Favorites ​

Favorite John Elway win outside of the Super Bowls? ‘96 Broncos-Vikings. McCaffrey catches a million times tipped ball. I loved watching him as a kid and it might be the first Broncos or any NFL game I remember. When I say game I mean play I wasn’t watching many whole games at 5 years old

Favorite Peyton Manning win? AFC Championship Game against the Pats, taking us to SB 50! watched it at a bar in Vegas, I was the only Bronco fan in sight surrounded by Pats fans needless to say…. I was chirping a bit.

Favorite Broncos win ever? SB 50. SB 32 made me a Broncos fan for life but SB 50 was the first I was able to enjoy as an adult.

Team you love to beat the most in the AFC West? KC… they are our new rivals who even are the Raiders?

Coach you laugh at the most in the NFL? Any Browns HC coach… hardest job in the NFL

Coach you most want to throat punch? Hackett he’s not technically coaching anywhere (he’s analyzing for the Packers. DONT let Hackett experience another W in our building boys!!!

Team you hate to lose to the most in the rest of the AFC? The Pats.

NFC team you could cheer for in the Super Bowl? da Packers. I’ve gotta support my friends and family sometimes!

NFC team you want to face more than any other in the Super Bowl? da Packers (see fav win by any other QB question)

Favorite game so far this season? Our win over KC!

Most important game left on the schedule? Week 18 against the Chargers. We’ve gotta win the West!

Favorite Broncos player on the current roster? My fellow Sconnie Quinn Meinerz

Favorite Broncos player of all time not named John Elway? That’s a really close call between McCaffrey and Von Miller but I have to tow the “edge” to Von.

Favorite new guy/rookie on the team? Lucky #13 Pat Bryant

Food/Snack you have to eat on game day? Pulled pork sliders

Favorite game analyst/commentator? Al Michaels, his history and his current streak of “I’m too old for this” style of commenting is great

Which Broncos are on your Mt. Rushmore? Elway, Manning, Miller, TD

How did you become a Broncos fan? ​

Super Bowl 32. I was 7, and my aunt worked at some hospital in Denver and had met a few of the players. She came home for the Super Bowl and decked me out head to toe in Broncos gear. All I remember was a bunch of pissed off Packers fans taking it out on my Aunt and me. Oh and the BADEST man on the field laying his life on the line getting rocked and spinning like a helicopter. That was my baptism into the blue and orange.

Hey @Packers, just a reminder we own you

Denver Broncos playoff picture: What Week 15 vs. Packers means for AFC standings

Week 15 is nearing its conclusion and we had some wild games and major developements in the AFC postseason picture. With a win over the Packers, the Denver Broncos became the first team in the AFC to clinch a postseason berth as they improve to an impressive 12-2 record. The Broncos also extended their AFC lead over the Patriots who blew a double digit second half lead to the Buffalo Bills who kept their slim AFC East hopes alive. The Chargers defeated the Chiefs and eliminated them from the postseason, the Texans dominated the Cardinals, and the Jaguars dropped nearly 50 points on the Jets. Meanwhile. the AFC North remains tight as the Ravens defeated the Bengals while the Steelers host the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football.

The Denver Broncos have a one-game lead + tie-breaker over the New England Patriots with 3 games to go for the number one seed in the AFC pic.twitter.com/L5e1qeHy6V

Things are starting to take shape in the AFC and these final three games will ultimately decide seeding and if any other teams can sneak into the AFC playoffs.

Before we get to that, let us take a look at the updated AFC West Standings and see where things stand with three weeks left to go in the 2025 NFL regular season.

AFC West standings​

1. Denver Broncos: 12-2
2. Los Angeles Chargers: 10-4
3. Kansas City Chiefs: 6-8
4. Las Vegas Raiders: 2-12

AFC updated NFL playoff picture​

Division Leaders​

1. Denver Broncos (12-2)​

With a big victory over the Green Bay Packers, the Denver Broncos improve to 12-2 on the year and have officially clinched a postseason berth. However, they have their eyes set on bigger prizes and are nearing an AFC West title and perhaps the number one seed in the AFC.

A loss by the Patriots now has them trailing the Broncos by one game in the loss column and the Broncos have the tie-breaker advantage over them as well. They also hold a 2-game lead over the Chargers with 3 games to go which includes a season finale game between the two teams.

Barring an absolute collapse during these final three games, the Broncos appear to be heading towards an AFC West title, the number one seed in the AFC, and homefield throughout the playoffs.

Looking ahead, they do have a big game against a very hot Jacksonville Jaguars team. They beat up a bad Jets team this week, but will have a tougher test next week, on the road in Mile High. Following that is a Christmas Night game vs. the Chiefs and quarterback…Gardner Minshew. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a torn ACL vs. the Chargers and will be out for the remainder of the year which makes this game a bit less difficult for the Broncos. Still, it’s Arrowhead in late December, so it won’t be the easiest game. Finally, they have a season finale against the Chargers, but hopefully, the Broncos will have everything locked up before this game, and we see Jarrett Stidham get the start for the Broncos.

Remaining Games: Jaguars, at Chiefs (Christmas Night), and vs. Chargers

2. New England Patriots (11-3)​

The Patriots were leading the Bills 21-0 at one point and appeared to be stomping out their AFC East rivals at home in Foxboro. However, Josh Allen led the Buffalo Bills back from this 3 touchdown hole and and would end up defeating the Patriots by the score of 35-31.

The Patriots now fall one game back of the Broncos in the loss column in the AFC and do not have the tie-breaker advantage either. So, the Patriots will need some help if they want to be the number one seed in the AFC. This loss kept the Bills faint postseason hopes alive and while the Patriots remain the favorites to win the AFC East, the Bills are lurking.

Next Sunday, the Patriots will face an inconsisent Ravens team on the road as they look to keep their number one seed hopes alive and the Bills behind them in the AFC East. A loss would make getting the one seed difficult and put the Bills back in the AFC East race(if they win) with two games to go. After that, the Patriots face a bad Jets team on the road and then host the Dolphins in the season finale.

Remaining Games: vs. Jaguars, at Chiefs (Christmas Night), and vs. Chargers

3. Jacksonville Jaguars (10-4)​

The Jaguars absolutely dominated and blew out the New York Jets on Sunday and nearly scored 50 points on them. With this win, the Jags improved to 10-4 on the year and keep their one-game lead over the Texans who are also on a win streak and lurking one game back of the Jags in the AFC South.

This division is far from over.

First-year Head Coach Liam Coen has quarterback Trevor Lawrence playing the best ball of his career and they look like a sneaky Super Bowl contender in the AFC. Add in a good run game and tough defense, and the Jags are a team to keep an eye on moving forward.

Next up for the Jags is a potential AFC Playoff preview on the road against the 12-2 Broncos. A win over the Broncos would keep their hopes of winning the one seed alive while a loss could allow the Texans to leapfrog them in the division. This will very much be a playoff-like game for both teams.

After that game, the Jags finish out the year against Grandpa Phillip Rivers and the Colts and Cam Ward and the Titans. If the Jags can beat the Broncos, they have a favorable final two games of the season.

Remaining Games: at Broncos, at Colts, and vs. Titans

4. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6)​

The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football and have yet to play at the time of this writing. However, win or lose, they will still lead the AFC North division over the Ravens. This division will likely go down to the season finale against both teams and could go either way due to both team playing inconsisent football throughout the year.

A win over the Dolphins would give the Steelers a cushion over the Ravens while a loss will still keep that at the top of the AFC North but both teams will have a 7-7 record.

Looking ahead, the Steelers host a Dolphins teams fighting to keep their slim postseason hopes alive before back-t0-back road games against the Lions and Browns before the season finale at home vs. the Ravens.

Remaining Games: vs. Dolphins, at Lions, at Browns, and vs. Ravens

Wildcard Teams​

5. Los Angeles Chargers (10-4)​

A tough win on the road vs. the Chiefs kept them two games back of the Broncos in the AFC West and as the top wildcard team in the AFC. They are doing this despite quarterback Justin Herbert dealing with a broken non-throwing hand, down both offensive tackles, and dealing with pressure and hits each and every week.

With three games left, the Chargers will need to win out and hope the Broncos slip up moving forward if they want to win the AFC West. They are two games back and play at Mile High in the season finale. However, the Chargers have a tough road ahead which could eliminate them from AFC West contention before they reach the season finale.

Following their win over the Chiefs, the Chargers will have a road game vs. the explosive Dallas Cowboys offense, a tough home game vs. the dominant Texans defense, and another road game vs. the Broncos. Facing two of the top pass rushing teams in the final two weeks will be a tough test for the banged up Chargers offensive line.

Remaining Games: at Cowboys, vs. Texans, and at Broncos

6. Buffalo Bills (10-4)​

With a big comeback win over the Patriots, the Bills keep their slim AFC East hopes alive and show the Patriots that they will be a tough test for them if they meet again in the playoffs. Led by Josh Allen, this Bills team, even with their flaws, will be a tough test for whoever plays them moving forward.

The Bills are comfortably in the playoffs and would need an absolute collapse for that to change. However, they will need to win out and get some help if they want to win the AFC East.

Next up for the Bills is a road game vs. Myles Garrett and the Browns, a home game vs. the defending champion Eagles, before a season finale against a very bad Jets team. If they can get by the Eagles, they should be able to win out and push for the AFC East title.

Remaining Games: at Browns, vs. Eagles, and vs. Jets

7. Houston Texans (9-5)​

The Texan are getting hot at the right time and appear to be one of the better teams in the AFC despite their 7th seed ranking in the AFC. Led by their dominant defense, the Texans will be a tough out for whoever faces them and they still have a good shot at winning their division.

They trail the Jaguars by one game in the loss column with three games to go and we could see this division come down to the final week of the season.

Next up for the Texans is a home game vs. the Raiders, a game they should dominate, a key game on the road vs. the Chargers, and a season finale matchup vs. 44 year old Grandpa Phillip Rivers and the Colts.

Remaining Games: vs. Raiders, at Chargers, and vs. Colts

In The Hunt​

8. Indianapolis Colts (8-6): After losing quarterback Daniel Jones to an Achilles injury, the Colts signed retired quarterback and grandpa Phillip Rivers to their practice squad and started him this Sunday vs. the Seahawks. Rivers played well for a guy signed off the street who last played in 2020, but the Colts still lost and now fall farther out of playoff contention.

9. Baltimore Ravens (7-7): The Ravens only way in to the playoffs will be by winning the AFC South, but to do that, they need to get past the Steelers who currently lead that division and hold the tie-breaker over them. They play against each other in the finale and that game may very well decide who wins that division and goes to playoffs and who goes home.

10. Miami Dolphins (6-7): The Dolphins play the Steelers on Monday Night and will need to win to keep their slim postseason hopes alive. Even with a win, they will need a ton of help and likely a Texans collapse if they want to make the playoffs. A loss to the Steelers would likely eliminate them from postseason contention.

Game balls for the Broncos 34-26 win over the Packers in Week 15

The Denver Broncos moved to 12-2 on the season with an impressive victory over the Green Bay Packers to take sole possession of the bests record in the NFL with just three games to go. The game was a seesaw type game with many lead changes, but the second half proved to be the Broncos half and they pulled away from Green Bay in the third quarter and never looked back.

After a third quarter touchdown, the Packers were up by nine points and had the ball. However, a Jordan Love deep shot was intercepted by Pat Surtain II and that marked the momentum shift that saw the Broncos outscore the Packers 20-3 to win their 11th consecutive game. It was Bo Nix’s best game as a pro and there were plenty more game balls to hand out than what our staff could claim.

Here are Mile High Report’s game balls for the Broncos’ 34-26 victory against the Packers on Sunday!

Bo Nix​

The Broncos second-year quarterback just put up his best game in the NFL. Nix was simply phenomenal in every way on Sunday. Nix finished the game 23-for-34 passing for 302 yards and four touchdowns. He also added 10 yards on seven carries. And while the stats are off the charts, they still don’t do justice to just how good Nix was in the win over the Packers. Nix wasn’t sacked despite some hairy moments in the pocket. He also didn’t commit any turnovers. And when the Broncos needed big-time throws, Nix delivered. What a game. What a performance. What a win. – Ian St. Clair

Bo Nix:

0.57 EPA per dropback: second-best mark of his career
15.2% CPOE: second-best mark of his career
25% explosive pass rate: best mark of his career
72.9% win probability added: second-best mark of his career

Huge, huge, huge performance.

— Benjamin Solak (@BenjaminSolak) December 15, 2025

RJ Harvey​

An early fumble by a rookie could have been devastating, but Harvey sat out a series and collected himself. While he only averaged 3.4 yards per carry he did enough with 19 carries for 64 yards. His longest run was also just eight yards, but if you watched the game he fought for every inch and picked up some key first downs. His touchdown run was his 10th touchdown of the season. RJ Harvey is doing just fine and had a game ball type performance on Sunday. – Tim Lynch

Courtland Sutton​

It wasn’t just that Courtland Sutton had a big game. Seven catches on ten targets for 113 yards and a TD is a legit stat line. Sutton deserves a gameball for being Bo Nix’s security blanket in the biggest moments. 3rd down? Throw it to Court. Need to throw it where only one guy can get to it? Chuck it up for Court. He’s gonna toe tap. He’s gonna box out and get the first. Courtland Sutton is the guy Bo Nix can rely on. Against the Packers, when it really mattered, Sutton put on a masterclass. Give that man a gameball. – Adam Malnati

BO NIX SUTTON pic.twitter.com/Y26Kt2LGV6

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) December 15, 2025

Veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton had a clutch performance in Denver’s victory over the Packers. On ten targets, Sutton has 7 receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown. Several other catches were chain movers on third down. There is no question Sutton is the most reliable receiver on the team. When it matters most, count on Courtland to come down with the big play. The Nix-to-Sutton connection flourished in the second half of last season and appears to be doing so again this year. This is the type of performance Broncos fans were hoping for. Well done, #14! – Chris Hart

Pat Surtain II​

Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games. Patrick Surtain showed why he’s the reigning defensive player of the year when Denver needed a big play in the second half. His interception was a complete momentum shift in what might be the best win so far in his career. – Jeff Essary

PS2 WITH AN INCREDIBLE DIVING INT!!!pic.twitter.com/EKwPdCcryO

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) December 14, 2025

Troy Franklin​

Troy Franklin gets my game ball this week. He was consistent, reliable, and was a big time chain mover for the team. He attacked the zone defense perfectly to get a touchdown in the 2nd half. My hats off to Troy for staying with it and being such a big part of this very important win. – Sadaraine

BO NIX THROWS HIS 4TH TOUCHDOWN PASS, THIS TIME TO TROY FRANKLIN pic.twitter.com/vEaKZlKgKi

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) December 14, 2025

Mike McGlinchey and Garett Bolles​

The Green Bay Packers boast a talented pass rush, that was headlined by Micah Parsons. Those guys didn’t do a dang thing all game long. And while Bo Nix was doing his usual fancy work in the pocket, the leagues best pass blocking offensive tackles put on a show and once again. There’s a couple big reason that Nix didn’t take a single sack on Sunday and #72 and #69 were just nothing but great. – Ross Allen

Broncos victory over Packers proves they are contenders

With their statement victory over the Green Bay Packers, the Denver Broncos have now won eleven straight games. Touting a 12-2 record, they have defied the odds and found a way to grind out hard-fought battles throughout their 2025 campaign.

As the season chugs along, so do the Broncos who now boast a multi-game lead in AFC West. Better yet, they are poised to earn the conference’s top playoff seed if they can take care of business in the final three games. Even so, the national media and analysts are still sleeping in the Broncos. Though not many would go so far to call them frauds.

For several seasons, the Broncos have embraced the underdog mentality. But yesterday’s win over the Packers proves they are overdogs—and a formidable squad capable of competing for the Lombardi Trophy. The offense looked tremendous, and the defense rallied in the second half and forced two turnovers that helped swing the game’s momentum.

Teamwork makes the dream work. Denver’s dazzling performance against the Packers should have fans across Broncos Country excited about the team’s title-contending potential in ‘25. Yeah, I said it. This year’s Broncos are true Super Bowl contenders. Don’t forget that this year’s squad is excelling despite significant salary cap restraints. What the coaching staff and players have accomplished this season is impressive.

And what was more impressive than second-year signal caller Bo Nix’s performance against Green Bay?

Though in his last four games, Nix has turned the corner and has been playing some of the best football of his young career. Not too shabby for the sixth quarterback selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. But Sunday’s outing versus the Packers demonstrated the second-year signal caller has the ability and moxie to lead the Broncos on a deep playoff run.

“The thing about him is he loves playing, and so it’s contagious, and that’s a really good trait for a player in his position and his teammates feel that,” stated Head Coach Sean Payton in glowing praise of what’s helping guide Nix’s performance as of late and the hopes of chasing the franchise’s fourth championship.

There are those who feel Nix’s best game to date was against the Packers. Count me in as one of them. He finished yesterday’s gridiron battle going 23-of-34 for 302 yards and 4 touchdowns. When the stakes were highest, Nix once again rose to the occasion, leading the Broncos to 20 second half points and yet another comeback victory. Another clutch effort.

It wasn’t just the offense who came up big in key moments. While the Broncos defense struggled in the first half, reigning Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II’s interception in the third quarter prove to be the catalyst that reignited the defense’s second half performance and gave a much-needed momentum swing for the entire team.

All it takes is one big play to change a game. That’s precisely what happened with Surtain’s incredible pick. After shredding the Broncos’ secondary in the first half, Jordan Love was held in check the remainder of the game. A tip of the hat is in order to Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph for dialing up the right halftime adjustments, as well as to the players who executed well when it mattered most.

“Man, he went after that football, got it and that’s when I felt like it kind of started falling back on our side, the momentum did. It got the crowd back into it. When our crowd is going, it’s a really hostile environment. It’s tough to play in for an opponent,” stated quarterback Bo Nix.

Next up for Denver? Hosting a roaring 10-4 Jacksonville Jaguars squad who currently lead the AFC South. If the Broncos can find a way to replicate yesterday’s formula for success—bank on them being 13-2 by the end of next Sunday. Maybe, just maybe, that would be enough to convince some of the doubters to hop on board with the idea Denver sports a championship caliber squad.

Broncos can clinch the AFC West and number one seed this Sunday

Last Sunday, the Denver Broncos clinched a postseason berth with a win over the Green Bay Packers, but the job was far from finished. Due to the New England Patriots losing to the Buffalo Bills, the Broncos’ lead for the one seed grew while their lead in the AFC West remained the same after the Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs and eliminated them from making the postseason.

This week, the Broncos could clinch both the AFC West and the number one seed in the AFC with a victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars and losses by the Chargers, Patriots, and Bills.

The Broncos can clinch the AFC West title AND the number one seed this Sunday.

Here are the clinching scenarios pic.twitter.com/Eni1sHU2tC

— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) December 16, 2025

To clinch both the AFC West and the one seed, the Broncos will need a lot of things to go their way this Sunday. First, they will need to defeat the surging Jacksonville Jaguars at home, which figures to be a tough test for both teams. Then, they need the Chargers to lose to the Cowboys, the Patriots lose to the Ravens on Sunday Night Football, and the Browns to upset the Bills.

All three teams will be playing on the road, but it would be surprising if this scenario played out. First, the Broncos, who won 11 straight, have a tough game against a hot Jaguars team. This will be another postseason atmosphere game with a lot on the line for both teams, so it should be an exciting one. As for the Chargers, they’ll be facing an explosive Cowboys offense, but also a not-so-great Dallas defense. The Cowboys have also been eliminated from the postseason, so we’ll see how much fight they have in them. On Sunday Night Football, the Patriots will travel to Baltimore to take on a Ravens team fighting to keep their postseason hopes alive. Finally, we’ll need Shedeur Sanders and Myles Garrett to upset Josh Allen and the Bills. This is the most unlikely scenario to play out, but as they say, any given Sunday,

We will be big Cowboys, Ravens, and Browns fans this Sunday.

While the number one seed scenario is complicated, the AFC West title scenario is a bit more straightforward. Beat the Jaguars and hope the Cowboys can defeat the Chargers, and the Broncos will win their first AFC West title since 2015.

If all goes well, the Broncos could have a memorable weekend and wrap up all their regular-season goals before the Christmas holiday. That would allow them to rest key players on a short week vs. the Chiefs on Christmas Night and again in the season finale vs. the Chargers. If not, the Broncos will have a chance to clinch one or both again on Christmas Night in Arrowhead against the Patrick Mahomes-less Kansas City Chiefs.

Because of the kneel-downs at the end of the game, only two of the OL guys played every snap. Alex Forsyth, Calvin Throckmorton and Frank Crum all got two snaps at the end of the game. Crum also got 10 snaps as the 6th OL.

Talanoa Hufanga got two offensive snaps in the victory formation. Justin Simmons used to do this at the end of games when we were kneeling the ball.

Courtland Sutton was WR1 with 60 of 68 offensive snaps. LJH was WR2 getting 46. Franklin and Mims got 34 and 21. Michael Bandy only got two, but he caught a TD on one of them.

RJ Harvey got the most RB snaps with 46. McLaughlin and Badie got 9 and 7. Adam Prentice got 17 at FB.

Trautman got the most TE snaps with 42. Nate Adkins got 25 and Evan Engram only got 19 which is interesting.

Defensively we had only two players take every defensive snap: Hufanga and Moss. PS2 and Singleton took all but one snap.

Dre Greenlaw got 51 snaps on D.

Ja’Quan McMillian got 49 at the slot CB spot. Jahdae Barron got on 15 snaps and KAD only played one.

Brandon Jones only played 34 snaps before he was injured. PJ Locke filled in well for him at the other safety spot. Devon Key got two defensive snaps at S/CB.

Zach Allen played 50 on the DL which is what we have come to expect from him. I hope we can get him a little rest in the final three games so that he is fresh for the playoffs. JFM, Roach, DJ Jones and Uwazurike played 37, 24, 20 and 16 snaps.

At edge, Bonitto and Cooper each got 45 snaps with Elliss and Tillman getting 22 and 21 snaps.

Jordan Love is hard to sack (came in with only 18 sacks on the season) and the Broncos were not getting to him in the first half, but that changed in the second half as the Broncos got him three times. He was sacked five times in the Packers loss to the Browns at the beginning of the season.

Secret Superstars 2025: Zach Allen brings electricity to Denver’s defense with Watt-like performances

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, it’s time to catch up with Denver Broncos pass-rusher Zach Allen, who may be the most underrated interior defensive lineman of his era.

J.J. Watt would probably agree.

When it comes to pass-rushers, sacks set the pace regarding public awareness, but they don’t tell the whole story. Just as you would be selling defensive backs short if you only went by their interception totals as opposed to all other available metrics and tape, evaluating defensive linemen by their sack totals alone will never paint the entire picture — especially in today’s NFL, where blitz and stunt packages are designed to cause as much havoc as possible in an overall sense. Total pressures are valued because when you disrupt the quarterback, the quarterback’s performance is generally negatively affected. Simple logic, right?

And when it comes to creating havoc for enemy quarterbacks, there’s no defensive lineman — especially no interior defensive lineman — who has matched Zach Allen of the Denver Broncos this season. Allen is well-known in NFL circles as a transcendent player, and the four-year, $102 million contract extension with $44,25 million guaranteed he got in the 2025 offseason tells you what the Broncos already thought of him, but when it comes to recogniti0n verses performance, Allen still doesn’t get what he deserves… and he may be playing better than ever at age 28.

In the Broncos’ 34-26 win over the Green Bay Packers, Allen had half a sack, but he also had six quarterback hits and six quarterback hurries, and it could be said that with all the other stuff Jordan Love and Green Bay’s offense had to deal with when it came to Denver’s diabolical pass rush, what Allen did to affect Love, and the negative plays that resulted, made the difference in the Broncos’ 11th straight win.

Zach Allen had half a sack against the Packers. No biggie if that's all you count. But here's how Jordan Love did on Allen's 12 (!) pressures in that game: 4 of 10 for 71 yards, no touchdowns, two interceptions, and a passer rating of 25.4.

In that game, Allen became the second player since quarterback hits were officially tracked in 2006 to have at least 40 in two consecutive seasons. The list is: Allen in 2024 and 2025, and J.J. Watt, who did it four straight times from 2012-2015.

— Zach Allen (@TheZALLEN44) December 16, 2025

The difference in perception between Watt and Allen has a lot to do with sack totals. In that four-year stretch, Watt had an incomprehensible 74 sacks per Pro Football Focus, which counts half-sacks as full sacks, and includes the postseason. Allen had 14 sacks in 2024, and he already has nine this year, so he’s been as much as closer as he’s been a disruptor, but matching Watt’s peak is a tough go.

It’s also tough to stand out in a defense where even the edge guys don’t get the credit they deserve. Having grown up in Denver (Hello, Green Mountain!) and understanding the frustration caused by Howard Cosell ignoring the Broncos through years of Monday Night Football halftime highlights, I’m well-familiar with an overall underratedness when it comes to the Broncos. Don’t even get me started on the Hall of Fame snubs.

It’s still happening, because we’re not talking enough nationally about how marvelous Nik Bonitto has been, never mind Jonathon Cooper, who might as well be on a milk carton in a national sense. Right now, Denver’s defense has four players with at least 30 total pressures for the season: Allen with 63, Bonitto with 61, Cooper with 45, and the grievously underrated John Franklin-Myers with 34. That Denver front is just a Shark Sandwich (R.I.P. Rob Reiner) for any quarterback who has to deal with it, and Allen is the tone-setter. Leading the NFL with 58 sacks is one thing; leading the NFL with 180 pressures is just something else.

“I don’t think much has changed with Zach,” defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said in October. “I mean, he’s just getting older as a player. He’s always been a great rusher. He’s gotten stronger over the years, but he’s always been a smart player. It’s opportunities. I think Zach playing with better outside rushers allows him to get more one-on-ones. When you’re the only rusher inside, you get all the slides of a double team. Now he’s playing with Nik and ‘Coop’ and ‘JFM’ . It’s fair across the board. All of our guys should improve with those kinds of numbers.”

True, but let’s not assume that Allen can’t get home when he’s double-teamed… because he most certainly can. Three of his sacks and 11 of his pressures have come when he’s been doubled this season, and as much as anyone, he’s the guy opposing offensive lines need to focus on in their protection calls.

The Broncos have dudes all over their defensive line, and that does leave one-on-ones for Zach Allen… but let's not assume that Allen needs them. He can still blow stuff up when doubled just fine. pic.twitter.com/K36jvlU9HT

— Doug Farrar ✍ (@NFL_DougFarrar) December 17, 2025

“That’s a great question,” Sean Payton said on December 5, when asked what it is about Allen’s skill set that has made him such a difference-making disruptor. “He’s so quick off the ball. He bends well. I would say he’s one of those guys, when you talk about stamina and play after play, it’s unique. This [No.] 98 [Raiders EDGE Maxx] Crosby is the same way. The other day, we were talking about a play we’ll put in. Then I said, ‘Well, we’ll call it when he’s not in the game,’ and they said, ‘The last two games, he’s played 100 percent of the snaps.’ So we took that play out. Because usually there’s a substitution pattern sometimes. But Zach’s one of those guys with great—different position here—but great stamina, and I would say, great bend. The second part of the rush, when it continues, he continues to play hard.”

Allen has been off the field for 238 snaps this season (on-field for 626 snaps), and the Broncos’ pass-rush performance without him tells another tale. Denver’s pressure rate of 45.3% with Allen drops to 35.6% without him, the sack rate goes from 10.7% to 8.9%, the blown block pressure rate goes from 20.8% to 11.1%, and the blown block sack rate goes from 6.1% to 2.2%.

Yes, that pass rush is loaded with horses, but Zach Allen in the Big Bronco in Denver’s quarterback disruption strategies. And he’s doing it at a level that brings some of the best in recent years to mind.

Broncos vs. Jaguars: Wednesday practice participation report

The Denver Broncos have another big game against a playoff team this week with the 10-4 Jacksonville Jaguars coming to town. There is a scenario where the Broncos can clinch a lot of things this weekend, so the importance of this game cannot be understated. They’ve got to get and stay healthy, though, especially with safety Brandon Jones going on injured reserve with a pec injury on Sunday.

For some good news, most of their guys are looking like they’ll be good to go against the Jaguars — including offensive guard Ben Powers who has been out for two months. He was activated off injured reserve last week and looks like he’ll be trending towards playing this week.

Here is your full practice report for Wednesday.

Broncos vs Jaguars Week 15: Keys to victory

Who would’ve thought that at the beginning of the season we’d be able to say that with a win and certain losses on Sunday, the Broncos can secure the top seed in the AFC? Honestly I was hoping we’d be able to clinch a playoff spot, but there is so much more at stake here.

The Broncos have the edge in their matchups all-time, winning eight of the 15 games they’ve played against each other, also winning four of the last five. The last time they faced off was in 2022 when Denver went into Jacksonville to take the 21-17 victory. There are also a couple of long winning streaks on the line come Sunday, as the Broncos have won 11 in a row and the Jags have won five.

Let’s take a look at what the Broncos will likely need to do to maintain their stranglehold on the AFC West and the conference as a whole.

1. Slow Trevor Lawrence’s roll​

Trevor Lawrence has played well over the last three games, posting a massive stat line against the Jets last week. Lawrence put up six total touchdowns, threw for 330 yards, and didn’t record a turnover in a blow out victory. And besides what Travis Etienne has been doing on the ground, the Jags can credit most of their offensive success to their quarterback, who is having one of his best seasons yet.

But four weeks ago he had an awful game. In their overtime win over the Cardinals, Lawrence was responsible for four turnovers, including three interceptions that all came off of just poor decisions and passes.

That game is what gives me confidence for this week. Vance Joseph has been nasty with the coverages he’s been showing, and this defense is just fantastic in man coverage. They killed Jordan Love last week and pundits thought he’d do well, for some reason. And if Denver can keep getting home on their pass rush against a Jacksonville offensive line that is giving up more than two sacks a game, things should be rough for Lawrence.

2. Play clean football​

The Broncos are the second-worst team in the league when it comes to penalties. The Jaguars are the worst team in the league. The Jags have 117 penalties on the year, good enough for 985 yards of self-inflicted damage. Obviously, this makes things difficult for any offensive or defensive unit.

Since we know that it’s not an “if” but a “when” the Jags will give free opportunities to the Broncos, it’s imperative that not only do the Broncos take advantage of those, but that Denver plays their cleanest game of football yet. They don’t want to bog themselves down with excessive mistakes that only serve to keep the game sloppy, rather than rise above their opponent.

Denver has been better penalty-wise as of late. They need to keep that trend going.

3. Keep Bo Nix spreading the ball around​

In one of the best, if not the best, game of his career on Sunday, Bo Nix threw for four touchdowns to four different receivers, including to a practice squad guy that never caught one before (shout out Michael Bandy). Denver’s ability to spread the love around helped contribute to Courtland Sutton making those clutch plays that went for chunk yardage. It kept the Packers guessing and it seemed like there was always someone open.

That’s also likely what’s contributed to Nix’s sharp increase in completion percentage since the bye week.

Sean Payton has been starting to really open up the playbook the last few weeks, except against the Raiders, and it’s almost like that’s by design and he was keeping his best stuff for late in the season/ playoffs. The offensive schemes have been great, and Nix appears to have more weapons than we thought he had. And now with Pat Bryant returning to play, there’s many opportunities to be had this week.

Thursday Night Football Week 16: Rams at Seahawks – Live Discussion

The NFC West is clearly the most dominant division in the football this season with three teams with 10+ wins with three games to go. In fact, the winner of this game will take sole control of the division and the other will be knocked back to fight it out with the San Francisco 49ers for second place. So this game is pretty huge in that context as the winner likely comes out with the number one seed in the NFC.

Kickoff is set for Thursday, December 18, 2025 at 6:15 p.m. Mile High time at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington and will air on Prime Video.

My Prediction​

According to FanDuel, the Seattle Seahawks are 1.5-point home favorites over the Los Angeles Rams in this game. In their last matchup, Sam Darnold threw four interceptions and, yet, the Rams barely held on for a 2-point victory. While I think the Rams are the more talented team, it seems like Seattle’s defense has figured something out about them and if Darnold can avoid turning the ball over they should win this game.

Prediction: Seahawks 23, Rams 16.

Broncos vs. Jaguars predictions: Final score picks for NFL Week 16

The Denver Broncos go into Week 16 looking to defend their 11-game win streak and undefeated home record against the red-hot Jacksonville Jaguars. Coming off a big win over the Green Bay Packers who had come into Denver as favorites despite having a worse record, confidence should be running sky high for this Broncos football team.

There is a scenario where the Broncos can clinch all of the things from the number one seed in the AFC and the AFC West division title. It’s unlikely for all of those to happen, but they can certainly take the division with the win and a Los Angeles Chargers loss on Sunday.

Game Overview​

Denver Broncos vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Sunday, December 21, 2025 at 2:05 P.M. Mile High time
Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado
ATS Betting Lines: Denver -3.5
Moneyline Odds: Denver -180 / Jacksonville +152

Broncos 27, Jaguars 17​

Part of me doesn’t want to stop predicting one-score games, but this is a matchup that I feel favors the Broncos in almost every category. Trevor Lawrence has been playing out of his mind, but his worst games have all come against elite defenses. With Bo Nix playing like the best version of himself, I feel like the Broncos will pull away from the Jags in this game at some point. – Tim Lynch

Broncos 31, Jaguars 23​

The tests don’t stop for the Broncos. The Jags come in on a heater with 5 wins in a row. They have a strong run game and a quarterback who is on fire. Their defense is exceptionally great at taking the ball away. That being said, they haven’t played a team at the Broncos level yet. I like Denver at home with the altitude and the rabid fans behind them. – Sadaraine

Broncos 41, Jaguars 17​

Broncos haven’t lost at home since Week 6 of 2024, they’ve won 11 straight games, and QB Bo Nix is coming off his best career game. Last week, this team just defeated a tough Packers team that came into Mile High hot and feeling good and will do the same against the Jags this Sunday.

The Jags have beat up on the Titans, Jets, and a Colts team after they lost their QB in recent weeks. The Broncos are a different animal and are peaking at the right time.

Bo Nix has back-to-back 4 TD performances(If Geno Smith can do it against the Jags, Bo can), RJ Harvey tops 100 yards from scrimmage, the defense gets multiple turnovers and 5+ sacks of Trevor Lawrence and clinch the AFC West after the Chargers fall to the Cowboys. – Scotty Payne

Broncos 27, Jaguars 20​

Two division leaders are going head-to-head in this one. I think it’s going to be a great game. I’ve got a lot of respect for the Jaguars for what they have accomplished this season. Their offense has been scoring a lot of points lately and their defense creates a lot of turnovers. Even so, I’m confident that the Broncos can keep rolling and continue their incredible win streak. I think Bo Nix and the offense continue their success and think the defense makes a few big plays to change the momentum. It’ll be a close game but believe Denver will come away with their thirteenth victory in 2025. – Chris Hart

Broncos 28, Jaguars 10​

These are two very similar teams. They feel disrespected and they are exceeding the expectations of the experts. Bo Nix and Trevor Lawerence have remarkably similar statistics except that Lawrence has taken twice as many sacks as Bo. And the Broncos defense has more than twice has many sacks as Jacksonville. That’s the difference. Bo will have time to throw; Trevor will not. The pass rush wins this game. – Mike DeCicco

Broncos 31, Jaguars 7​

Streaks always end. It’s just a fact. But not this week. As Scotty mentioned, the Jaguars have been on a run of their own, but against bad teams. The Broncos have put together a run that includes beating a desperate Chiefs, and a Packers team that many believe could (have) been a Super Bowl contender. With a chance to clinch the division, and inch closer to that #1 seed in the AFC, Sean Payton will have the offense ready to go. The defense will get to Trevor Lawrence, PS2 will limit Jakobi Meyers. The Dline will bottle up Travis Etienne. – Adam Malnati

Broncos 31, Jaguars 17​

Payton, Nix, and the Broncos are on a mission. They want to win the AFC West. They want the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Any chance of a Michael Dean Perry-esque lagging off the field on third down isn’t going to happen this Sunday. The defense is going to make the day completely miserable and uncomfortable for Lawrence. The Broncos will control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, and the offense will put forth another complete game. And Broncos Country is going to bring the Rocky Mountain Thunder like its old Mile High. – Ian St. Clair

Broncos 34, Jaguars 20​

There is too much on the line for this team to come up short. Over the last three months the Broncos have shown up to very occasion and have proven themselves to be an elite team. Their offense is running on all cylinders, the offensive line is getting a boost with Ben Powers returning, and if the defense looks like it did in the second half of last week’s game, then it should be a long night for the Jags. – Ross Allen

Broncos vs. Jaguars: Friday practice participation report

The Denver Broncos will be without linebacker Justin Strnad as expected as he injured his foot last weekend. While guard Ben Powers is listed as questionable, it does appear he’ll be back to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Though as Mike Klis of 9News noted, it will likely be in a shared reps situation. It is good to see the offensive line getting back to full strength just before the playoffs. Hopefully it stays that way.

Here is your full practice report for Friday.
