The Denver Broncos have reclaimed the throne as AFC West champions after the Los Angeles Chargers lost to the Houston Texans on Saturday.
Denver Broncos reclaim AFC West throne after Chargers loss on Saturday
It’s been nearly 10 years since the Denver Broncos were AFC West champions. The last time it happened was in the 2015 season, when Peyton Manning and the Broncos won Super Bowl 50.
The parallels between that season and this season have been incredible. Since the Broncos won it all in 2015, the Kansas City Chiefs have dominated the division.
Now, a changing of the guard is here after the Broncos swept the Chiefs and Raiders this season, and next week’s regular-season finale will feature higher stakes, reminiscent of that 2015 season. That has a lot to do with the dynamic pairing of Sean Payton and Bo Nix, and the widespread culture change he’s implemented since coming on board in 2023.
Payton went all in on Nix as his quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he’s continued to develop into one of the league’s best young quarterbacks. No other quarterback in NFL history has 20+ wins, 7500+ passing yard,s and 50 passing touchdowns in their first two seasons than Nix.
On top of that, the Broncos have an elite defense as well, one that they are hoping can get back on track once the postseason rolls around.
The Broncos and Chargers will face off to conclude the year ahead of the NFL Playoffs, and if the Broncos win, they’ll clinch the #1 seed and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. Just like the 2015 season that saw Denver clinch the top seed in their regular season finale against, you named it, the Chargers.
Week 18 is here, and the Broncos’ stakes are exciting and high, with a playoff spot already locked up. They are very much in control of their own destiny going forward.
