Broncos and Packers Set to Face Off in Potential Super Bowl Preview
Week 15 of the NFL season is upon us, and two of the league’s best teams are set to clash at Mile High. Green Bay travels to Denver on a four-game winning streak, thanks in large part to their quarterback Jordan Love, who is coming off consecutive games with 3+ passing touchdowns (NFL). Love currently ranks in the top 10 in passing yards and touchdowns (per StatMuse), but Denver will be the most dangerous defense the Packers face all season.
The Broncos’ defense leads the league in sacks (per StatMuse), with the next closest team 9 sacks behind. Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is known for showing a plethora of different looks and dialing up creative pressures, especially in key situations. Denver’s pass rush has the power to confuse quarterbacks, wreck offensive lines, and completely shift the momentum of a game. With the fate of their respective conferences in the balance, both teams are highly incentivized to win this game. It should be a closely contested bout that could be an early Super Bowl preview.
No Respect for Denver, Bo Nix Responds
The disrespect is insane! The 11-2 Broncos are riding a 10-game winning streak, yet the oddsmakers in Vegas have the audacity to set the Broncos as home dogs, with the Packers currently sitting as 2.5-point favorites.
When asked earlier this week how he felt about this, Bo Nix had a hilarious answer:
“My mom thinks we’ll win, so that’s all that matters”.
I speak for Broncos Country when I say, “We agree,” Mama Nix. We know who this team is and what they are capable of.
Every week, the national media doubts how good this Broncos team truly is. Fans online have labelled Denver as frauds for weeks. Yet each week, Denver finds a way to win. Don’t expect this week to be any different.
Playoff Picture: What’s at Stake?
With a win on Sunday, Denver can officially clinch a playoff spot while also solidifying their position as the AFC’s No. 1 seed. While Green Bay is currently the No. 2 seed in the NFC, beating the Broncos would be a statement win that dramatically increases their chances of winning their division and dethroning the Rams from the No. 1 seed by season’s end.
With both teams preparing for deep postseason runs, the Broncos and Packers could very well be seeing each other again in February.
The Real Deal
The perception of the Denver Broncos couldn’t be further from the truth. They are not just lucky, they are clutch. Their 9-2 record in one-score games this season shows they just know how to win. With a ruckus crowd at Mile High, a championship-caliber defense, and Bo Nix playing his best ball, the Broncos have what it takes to pull off the upset on Sunday.
If they win, the narrative surrounding this team flips overnight.
Broncos Country: Mount up! Week 15 might be the moment the Broncos go from dark horse to favorite.
