17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 3: He and Brandon, you know, go there and they build

18
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 3: a program. And now these guys are used to winning,

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: and and so you know, the schedule, there's certain things

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 3: you can't control, but but yeah, you've got to you've

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: got to win on the road, and you've got to

22
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: beat good teams.

23
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: He went on to talk about what the team's travel

24
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: plan is for the weekend.

25
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 3: Well, it's the first time for me ever really working

26
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: out the West to East. I would say this historically

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: speaking when I coached on Eastern Time zone or Central

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: Time Zone, there were like three teams maybe Seattle, San

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 3: Francisco Chargers rate you know where we go Friday night.

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: But you know, you really gained sleep when you made

31
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: that trip. The challenge when you went west was always

32
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: the next week you got home, all right. So I

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: think when we looked at this itinerate at the start

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: of the season, we felt, you know, get out there,

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: get rest.

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: Tomorrow morning meetings just like we.

37
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: Would here Saturday, we'll get a you.

38
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: Know, a half our walkthrough.

39
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: And then anytime you play Monday night, you know, Sunday

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: night is different because there's a bunch of games on,

41
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: you know.

42
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 4: Monday night.

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: Your television options while you're at the hotel as a player,

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 3: you know, are limited. So again the focus the following week,

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: our decision to stay return in the morning, that kind.

46
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 4: Of thing that's changed over the years, but.

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: That was all kind of mapped out, and now it's

48
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: time to take a look at this week's final injury report.

49
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: Now joining me here in the Broncos podcast studio is

50
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: a Broncos lead writer, Eric Danla Eric, thanks for joining me.

51
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: For this game preview.

52
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: You got that said.

53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Broncos are back in prime time on Monday night, just

54
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: the second primetime game of the season, and I know

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: a lot of players talked about it this week. I

56
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: think they're all excited to be under the big lights again.

57
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely.

58
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 5: You know, guys talked about how this is when you

59
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 5: want to play your best. You obviously know you're playing

60
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 5: in front of your peers, in front of the nation.

61
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 5: Sean Payne talked about it and said, basically, the competitor

62
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 5: and you wants to play in front of a lot

63
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 5: of people, and this will give the Broncos the chance

64
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 5: to do that, to kind of show the country what

65
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 5: they're all about and hopefully go out and get a

66
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 5: big win over the Buffalo Bills.

67
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Back to back primetime games for the Broncos. So

68
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 2: that'll be fun the next two weeks.

69
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: Eric, I feel like the Broncos are underdogs heading into

70
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: this game, but you know, I think it's going to

71
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: be a lot closer of a game than a lot

72
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: of people think, you know, the Bills are only five

73
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: and four, that's only two games more, two more wins,

74
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: and the Broncos have this season, and you know, not

75
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: to mention the Broncos are coming off their bye week.

76
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 2: They're really healthy too.

77
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

78
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, those good points that I think that you know,

79
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 5: it is a tough place to play, and then so

80
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 5: that definitely factors into it. And the Bills have been

81
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 5: a perennial playoff team and so that's kind of why

82
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 5: they're seeing in that contender class at the AFC right now.

83
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 5: And I think the Broncos would tell you that they've

84
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 5: got to go out and prove that they belong in

85
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 5: that class. At three and five, they've got to continue

86
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 5: to stack wins. But again, any given Sunday, any given Monday,

87
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 5: in this case, I think the bronco Is believe that

88
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 5: they can play with the Bills. I think they've shown

89
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 5: the last two weeks that if they play that way,

90
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 5: they can play with anybody in the NFL. Certainly, if

91
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 5: you hold the Chiefs to nine points, I think you're

92
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 5: capable of stacking up against any offense in this league.

93
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 5: And then the way the Broncos controlled the game against

94
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 5: Kansas City. If they can do the same thing in Buffalo,

95
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 5: they should give themselves a good chance to win this

96
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 5: football game. And yeah, they're not necessarily going to be favored,

97
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 5: and the experts are going to pick Buffalo to win

98
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 5: this football game. But it doesn't really matter. If you

99
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 5: go out there and you play your type of football

100
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 5: and you continue to believe in what you're doing and

101
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 5: you play kind of the same way we've seen, that's

102
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 5: going to help you be in position to get a win.

103
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 5: And I think it was Cortland Sutton this week who said,

104
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 5: he said, that's a few weeks ago, Hey, nobody believes

105
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 5: in us. We understand that. That's okay, And he said

106
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 5: this week, people still don't believe us, believe in us,

107
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 5: and he understands that's going to be the case until

108
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 5: the Broncos prove what they're all about. And Mike mcglinchy said,

109
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 5: with a win this week, you change a lot of

110
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 5: people's minds about what the Broncos are this year and

111
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 5: who they can be. And so it doesn't really matter

112
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 5: who's favored or who's picked, you know, it matters what

113
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 5: happens out there on the field. I think the Broncos

114
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 5: are ready to go and ready to like you said,

115
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 5: make this a competitive game, a close game, and see

116
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 5: if they can pull it out.

117
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: Like you said, it won't be, you know, an easy task.

118
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: Of course.

119
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: We heard head coach On Payin talk about Josh Allen

120
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: this week and that offense. He said, Josh, you know,

121
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: deserves all the respect that he has in this league.

122
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: Or from what you've seen from Josh Allen? You know

123
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: what makes him so difficult to face?

124
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's well, he's a physical specimen. That's part of it.

125
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 5: He makes throws that not a lot of people can make,

126
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 5: and he tries throws that not a lot of people

127
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 5: dare attempt, and so that's part of it. And then

128
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 5: you add in him as a runner. You know, he

129
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: gets people going with his ability to run the football.

130
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 5: He'll shrug off tacklers, he'll make big plays, he'll put

131
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 5: his shoulder down. So those are all elements that make

132
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 5: him really good. He's that kind of that gunslinger type quarterback.

133
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 5: And I saw a stat this week's no quarterback in

134
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 5: NFL history has a better win percentage following a loss

135
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 5: than Josh Allen. And so he has found a way

136
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 5: to respond that obviously speaks to the challenge that the

137
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 5: Broncos face this week in Buffalo. But he's a heck

138
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 5: of a player and certainly Broncos are going to have to,

139
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 5: you know, contain him in the pocket, make sure that

140
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 5: they take advantage of their opportunities. You know, every once

141
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 5: in a while he'll give you a chance to make

142
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 5: a play to gain an interception. Got to take advantage

143
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 5: of those opportunities, and you know, just just hope that

144
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 5: you can make enough plays to keep up with this offense.

145
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: I think there's no doubt that the matchup to watch

146
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: this weekend will be or on Monday Night will be

147
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: Passertan for Stefan Diggs.

148
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: So what do you think.

149
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: About that matchup and how do you think Pat will

150
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: fair going up against Diggs.

151
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 5: He's a guy that is a really good receiver, you know,

152
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 5: a bunch of one hundred yard games already this year.

153
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 5: He's kind of that lifeblood of their offense.

154
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 4: He's a.

155
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 5: Fiery player, you know, demands the football. That's what you

156
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 5: want out of your number one receiver, and he's got

157
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 5: the ability to make that big play. It'll be one

158
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 5: of the bigger tests I think of Patzertan's career. We'll

159
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 5: have to see how much he's matched up on him.

160
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 5: Is that an every snap thing? Is that most of

161
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 5: the game do they just kind of leave Certan on

162
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 5: his side. It'll be interesting to see what vance Joseph's

163
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 5: plan is there. But certainly, if Patzertan can help slow

164
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 5: Stefan Diggs down and you force other people to beat you,

165
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 5: I would think that gives the Broncos defense a good

166
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 5: chance to find success. But Diggs is a heck of

167
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 5: a football player. He's been one of the best receivers

168
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 5: in this league for a long time now, and certain

169
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 5: will have his hands full. And maybe maybe he got

170
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 5: some tips in college. I know he was good friends

171
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 5: with Stefan's younger brother.

172
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he maybe he's got this week and.

173
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 5: Maybe he's got some insight intel. But but yeah, it'll

174
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 5: be a big test, and uh, that'll be a fun

175
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 5: one to watch, definitely.

176
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: Eric.

177
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: Of course, one of the main conversations this week will

178
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: be is reuniting with von Miller. Will be the first

179
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: time he faces his former team here with the Broncos,

180
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of the players in the

181
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: locker room this week talked about how excited they are

182
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: just him.

183
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, Vaughn obviously had an impact on a

184
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 5: lot of these guys here, great mentor a great player

185
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 5: in this franchise's history. Russell Wilson talked about him as

186
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 5: a future Hall of Famer, one of the best defensive

187
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 5: players in the history of the league, you know. But

188
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 5: it's about this week and in this game, And we

189
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 5: heard Vaughn say it's not a revenge game or anything

190
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 5: like that, but I think the focus is on the

191
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 5: wave of edge rushers. They have a lot of different

192
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 5: guys there, Gregory Russo, you know, a lot of different

193
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 5: players that they have. And Mike McGlinchey said this week,

194
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 5: you almost don't want to watch too much film on

195
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 5: any individual guy because you almost get too wayed down

196
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 5: and too bogged down by some of that. And so

197
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 5: you've just got to go out there and play football.

198
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 5: And as much as we love Vaughn around here, and

199
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 5: I'm sure someday he'll be honored and and and all

200
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: that good stuff, sure you don't want this to be

201
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 5: the week where he gets back to form and has

202
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 5: a couple of sacks. So hopefully Vaughn's quiet for another

203
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 5: week and then you know, maybe he has some more

204
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 5: success later this year.

205
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eric, you mentioned earlier stacking wins. I know that's

206
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: also been talked about a lot this week. What do

207
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: you think is really, I guess really the key to

208
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: that and how does that start on Monday?

209
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think part of the exciting thing about this

210
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 5: game is is you get to see how the Broncos

211
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 5: handle success. Right is they They've had two wins in

212
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 5: a row. They've had good practices, They've they've made big

213
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 5: plays and key moments, they've responded to adversity. Okay, now,

214
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 5: how do you keep that going and do it week

215
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 5: after week after week? And that's that's tough to do

216
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 5: in this league.

217
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: It's not easy.

218
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 5: We heard a lot of guys talk about that this week,

219
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 5: that it requires a certain level of focus and buying

220
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 5: and belief. You know, there's I think there's a number

221
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 5: of little things from communication, you know, and just being

222
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 5: dialed into the small details and the turnout, winning the

223
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 5: turnover battle. Those sorts of things are crucial keeping a

224
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 5: win streak going. But I think you've also got to

225
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 5: keep that from a larger sense, that motivation, the hunger

226
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 5: of a being desperate to get a win. I think

227
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 5: that's got to You've got to find a way to

228
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 5: continue to have that each and every week. And when

229
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 5: you do that, I think that's what what good teams have.

230
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: And hopefully the Broncos are able to keep that and

231
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 5: find a way to get a win.

232
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eric, if they are able to get the win,

233
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: this will be the first three game win streak since

234
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: the start of the twenty twenty one season. So what

235
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: do you think a win would really just mean for

236
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: the rest of the Broncos season here, it'd be a

237
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: big deal.

238
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it really would. You know, the way the AFC

239
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 5: East is shaping up, one, you look at Buffalo as

240
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 5: maybe a team that is going to be jockeying with

241
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 5: some of these other teams for a wildcard spot, and

242
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 5: so it could be that the Broncos need this for

243
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 5: a tiebreaker later in the year. And then you look

244
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 5: at I think what it would do in terms of confidence,

245
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 5: in terms of sending a message to the rest of

246
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 5: the league that, you know, one win over the Chiefs.

247
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 5: Maybe you look at that as a one off and

248
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 5: any given Sunday something like that can happen. To know,

249
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 5: if you beat the Bills and you beat two contenders

250
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 5: back to back. You've sent a message that this team

251
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 5: has turned the corner, that they're for real, that they're

252
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 5: a playoff threat. And so, you know, that's kind of

253
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 5: the you know, the the big picture standpoint of what

254
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 5: it means, but then from a concrete standpoint, it's what

255
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 5: raises your playoff chances.

256
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 4: Obviously, it gets.

257
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 5: You to four and five, and you know, I think

258
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 5: about ten percent over the last since nineteen ninety, about

259
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 5: ten percent of teams that have started three and five

260
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 5: have made the playoffs. If you go three and six,

261
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 5: that number obviously drops, and if you go to four

262
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 5: and four and five, it jumps up to around seventeen

263
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 5: to eighteen percent. So it really would help the Broncos

264
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: playoff chances, a chance to get back to five hundred

265
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 5: next week at home against the Vikings and kind of

266
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 5: wipe out that one in five start. It would be

267
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 5: a big jolt to this season, both in terms of

268
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 5: what you know, a singular win means in the standings

269
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 5: and kind of the message it might send both to

270
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 5: this team and into the teams around the league.

271
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: Definitely, I think it's gonna be a really fun matchup

272
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: on Monday Night.

273
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 4: I'm excited.

274
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: That makes that fun game.

275
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 5: I think it'll be close in the fourth quarter. A

276
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 5: place will be rocking. They know how to tailgate and

277
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 5: get ready for a game out there.

278
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: So I've only seen it in the prese so it's

279
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of a regular season game.

280
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 2: There will be fun and we'll both be there.

281
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 4: Eric.

282
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: We will well appreciate you joining the show today. Well
