So how do the Broncos attack the Jaguars de...

Cec and Mase break down everything that went wrong for the Broncos in their 31–10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday Night Football — and what it means moving forward.

JK Dobbins says he’s ready for a large workload, and he’s doubling down with a pinky promise that he’ll stay healthy all season. It’s vintage Dobbins — confident, fiery, and absolutely convinced he’s still a top‑5 running back when he’s right. The problem: he’s missed more games than he’s played in his NFL career. So what does that mean for Den...

Monday Night Football. Chiefs. Broncos. Bo Nix. Jaylen Waddle. It’s one of the biggest Week 1 stages in the league — and Denver’s newest weapon is about to step into the spotlight. So what should fans expect from Waddle in week 1. Sean Payton has spent the entire offseason building timing, spacing, and rhythm between Nix and Waddle, and the Chiefs know it. With a young secondary,...

🔥 Description Thursday’s Orange & Blue Today digs into one of the biggest lingering questions on offense: is the Broncos tight end room actually good enough . At the top, Evan Engram is the primary pass‑catching threat — but last year showed he may simply be who he is at this stage of his career. Can he be better in 2026. Can he ever become Sean Payton’s true “joker&rd...

ESPN left Bo Nix out of their Top 100, and Broncos Country is rightfully fired up. The national analysts have never understood Nix — not his command, not his toughness, not the way he elevates the offense. But inside the building, his teammates keep saying the same thing: Bo is different, Bo is steady, and Bo is ready. Is he about to make a year‑three leap like Josh Allen once did. The signs...

The Broncos’ practice squad is set, and there’s already plenty to unpack. Rookie ILB Red Murdock made the squad — a win for a developmental player whose instincts, urgency, and tackling ability give Denver a real long‑term project at the position. His growth now becomes a season‑long storyline. But the surprise came at tight end: rookie Justin Joly chose to sign with the Miami Do...

The Broncos must trim the roster to 53 players this weekend, and with one preseason game left — Friday night against the Vikings — it’s officially bubble‑watch season in Denver. This is the week where fringe players have to play their way onto the roster, and several names stand out. Depth receivers, rotational defenders, and young specialists all have one last shot to prove they...

Bo Nix will NOT play in the Broncos’ final preseason game, and that tells you everything about where Sean Payton’s confidence is. He’s seen enough — the franchise QB is ready for Week 1, healthy, sharp, and locked in. So the question becomes: how many other starters should sit. After a physical camp and two preseason games, Payton may choose to protect most of his core play...

Vance Joseph didn’t sugarcoat anything — he ripped his defense for their lack of effort against the Packers, saying the first‑team unit came out lazy and unengaged. That kind of message, delivered publicly, always sends shockwaves through a locker room. So what happens now. Expect a more demanding week, sharper standards, and a real possibility that more defensive starters see action i...

The Broncos were back at work on Monday, and the tone was unmistakable — Sean Payton was not happy with how his team got beat down by the Packers on Friday. The urgency kicked up, the intensity rose, and this week suddenly feels like a recalibration moment heading into the final preseason game. The big question: how does Payton plan this week. Expect sharper practices, cleaner execution dema...

Bo Nix is finally set to take the field — his first game action since the ankle injury in last year’s Divisional Round — and the Broncos’ second preseason game against the Packers suddenly feels a whole lot bigger. So what should fans expect from the third‑year QB. A controlled script, quick rhythm throws, and a chance to show the command he’s displayed all camp. The...

Jaylen Waddle was back out there making plays for Bo Nix, and the offense had juice — but Wednesday’s practice turned into one of the chippiest sessions of camp. The defense kept stacking wins, the offense refused to back down, and Nix himself was mixing it up in the scrums, showing the competitive edge coaches love. The Broncos defense won the day, flying around, creating pressure, an...

Even in limited work, the offense looks different with him on the field...
