Conclusion

There are plenty of scenarios for the Denver Broncos to get in. But the key will be to keep the Vance Joseph mentality of “going 1-0 every week.” Denver has been able to do that three straight times.

To have a good shot at making the playoffs, they will need that 1-0 mentality for the final four games of the season. With the schedule ahead of them, that might be a simple task on paper.

vs. Cleveland Browns

at Oakland Raiders

vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Cleveland has an outside shot at making the playoffs, but they are razor thin slim. But Denver cannot nap against any of these remaining teams. On paper, they can run he table, but no slip ups.

We would have never thought of a possible chance Denver would be in this position at the halfway point of the season. But it is possible.

As long as Denver plays their cards right and take care of business, everything else will play itself out. Broncos Country will be keeping a close eye. It would be nice to see the Broncos get back to the postseason. From there, anything can happen.

Looking forward to the final quarter of the season for the Denver Broncos.
