Through eight weeks, the Broncos are in true peril. Losing five of the last six games has Vance Joseph’s seat extremely hot. What does week nine hold?

The Denver Broncos suffered another loss at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday.

While the Broncos have had close games against some of the best teams in the league it hasn’t been enough. Vance Joseph’s seat keeps getting hotter as the losses pile up.

Up next? The Houston Texans who are riding a five-game win streak. Not only are the Texans one of the hottest teams in the league, but they are also now joined by Demaryius Thomas.
