Denver Broncos evaluate 2026 season potential after strong previous year

The Denver Broncos aim for another successful season in 2026 after finishing 14-3 in the last regular season, capturing the AFC West title. They advanced to the AFC Championship Game but fell to the New England Patriots 10-7. Key players returning include quarterback Bo Nix, who is set to be healthy, and offseason addition wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. Analysts suggest the Broncos' ceiling could remain at 14-3 while cautioning that a floor of 9-7 is also possible due to the potential difficulty of close games. The team is focused on making a third consecutive playoff appearance.
