What should we expect from the Denver Broncos in 2022? Here are some ideal scenarios Broncos fans could expect.

The Denver Broncos are in win-now mode with Russell Wilson at quarterback and a new coaching staff in place. There needs to be a ton of improvement from what we’ve experienced since Super Bowl 50.

This is still a young team with new additions in place but the major position of quarterback is solved.

The Broncos have been a laughable team since 2015. This ends now.

At this point, the Broncos need to be a consistent winner. there are no excuses. What should we expect from the team in 2022? Here are three ideas.

Denver Broncos make a deep playoff run

2022 could finally be the year the Denver Broncos break their playoff slump. Despite the team having yet another rookie head coach in Nathaniel Hackett, the Broncos added a playoff-caliber, Super Bowl-winning quarterback in Russell Wilson.

The lack of a consistent quarterback for the last five years has been horrendous to watch. Since the retirement of Peyton Manning, the Broncos have suffered through guys such as Trevor Siemian, Paxton Lynch, Case Keenum, and Joe Flacco, just to name a few.

The Broncos have had two failed head coaches in Vance Joseph and Vic Fangio and are now onto their third head coach since hoisting the Lombardi trophy. Those two coaches combined for a 30-51 record.

I often wonder what would have happened if Gary Kubiak hadn’t stepped down as Broncos head coach due to health concerns.

It is clear that the absence of a top-tier quarterback has doomed the team during this span, but now that they have Wilson, the expectation will be playoffs and Super Bowl contenders every single year during his tenure with the team.

With Russell Wilson, the Denver Broncos have a legitimate chance at unseating the Kansas City Chiefs as AFC West winners. The Chiefs do still have a top quarterback but traded away their best skill player in Tyreek Hill. Sure, Patrick Mahomes can and will continue to make great plays, but so can Wilson.

Watching this unfold is going to be so much fun.
