The Denver Broncos made significant strides this season, but they’re still looking up at the Kansas City Chiefs.
Denver snapped an eight-year playoff drought behind Sean Payton and rookie quarterback Bo Nix. The Broncos secured a wild-card spot with a Week 18 blowout win over the Chiefs, who rested their starters after already clinching a first-round bye and their ninth straight AFC West title.
Kansas City has dominated the division since Peyton Manning’s retirement, but Broncos owner and CEO Greg Penner wants to end that stronghold in 2025.
