The Broncos are ready to contend for another championship
There’s been a lot of doubt surrounding the Broncos this offseason. That’s what happens when you’re top two quarterbacks have a combined one snap of NFL experience. But after watching Denver take down Carolina for the second straight time, there should be no more questions: The Broncos are ready to contend again.
I’ve been saying this all offseason long, and last night made it only more true in my mind: The Denver Broncos are better than they were last season.
Now, that doesn’t mean I think they’re going to win the Super Bowl. They might, but if you play the 2015 season 100 times, the Broncos win the Super Bowl 20 times, if that. They earned earned everything they achieved, but they were extremely lucky, too. I can’t be positive that’ll happen again — though, it did on Thursday night.
If you project the defense to be roughly the same unit they were last season, which I do, and if you project the offense to be noticeably improved, which I do, then there’s no reason to think they’ll be any worse. And if that’s the case, there’s no reason they shouldn’t be competing for a championship into December and January.
