Denver blogs are bleeding orange. The Mile High Report dished on all things Broncos, including analysis of the victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers and Von Miller’s new sack dance. Predominantly Orange hands out stars to Brandon McManus, C.J. Anderson and Kayvon Webster. And the Bleacher Report noted that the Broncos tweeted out a…
Your Denver Broncos may be a number one seed going into Sunday’s playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the team landed just one player on the NFL’s first-team all pro squad: Von Miller. But Von is in a league of his own when it comes to a mastery of…
The Denver Broncos didn’t play during this weekend’s opening round of the NFL playoffs, having earned a number one seed and a first-round bye after Peyton Manning led the team to a comeback win over the San Diego Chargers. But Broncos’ fans had a major rooting interest in the outcome of…
Broncos Nation — and two of our writers — are debating whether Brock Osweiler or Peyton Manning should start the next Denver Broncos playoffs game, slated for Sunday, January 17. But whatever decision is made, there’s no question Osweiler’s profile has been rising of late. Witness the online debate over the…
When the chute opens, all 1,700 pounds of brindle bull burst out. The animal spins, rears and kicks violently, as though his hindquarters are spring-loaded: He can’t dump his passenger fast enough. And within three seconds, the rider is flying to the ground, helmet-clad head hitting hard against the dirt,…
Editor’s note: Moments after Peyton Manning led the Denver Broncos to a comeback win over the San Diego Chargers, an already brewing quarterback controversy steamed over. The question: Who should start under center for Denver in its first playoff game, slated for Sunday, January 17: Peyton or Brock Osweiler, who won…
Editor’s note: Moments after Peyton Manning led the Denver Broncos to a comeback win over the San Diego Chargers, an already brewing quarterback controversy steamed over.

Even as Peyton Manning is celebrating the Broncos’ comeback win over the San Diego Chargers yesterday, which secured a number 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs for the team, controversy continues to swirl around allegations that he used human growth hormones during his recovery from 2011 neck surgeries…
Yesterday, Broncos fans saw a new chapter in the Peyton Manning legend happen live during Denver’s 27-20 win over the San Diego Chargers. And it was beautiful. For the first time since 1994, when he was a freshman at Tennessee, Manning was in a backup role. But while Brock Osweiler…
The Denver Broncos managed to flip the script in Monday night’s epic game. For the past three weeks the team has generated an impressive first half, followed by scoreless second-half collapses. But last night, a punchless opener gave way to a dominant second half — well, except for a fumble…
Tonight’s frigid face-off between the Denver Broncos and the Cincinnati Bengals is one of those make-or-break contests that will help determine if the team Gary Kubiak assembled has staying power or is another exercise in frustration. Depending largely on what happens tonight, the Broncos could wind up division champs or…
We knew Brock Osweiler wouldn’t go undefeated as an NFL starter. But that didn’t lessen the sting of the Denver Broncos’ completely dispiriting 15-12 loss to the hated Oakland Raiders yesterday. Reasons why not? The Broncos were home, the Raiders are mediocre, the Denver defense played another stellar game in…
Running back Christian McCaffrey, who was born and raised in Colorado and starred for Valor Christian High School before moving on to Stanford, is one of three candidates for college football’s Heisman Trophy, along with Alabama running back Derrick Henry and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson. But even as locals celebrate McCaffrey’s…
As we’ve noted, San Diego Chargers quarterback/cry-baby Philip Rivers didn’t really enjoy Von Miller putting him on his backside so often in yesterday’s Broncos win. But was Rivers upset because he doesn’t enjoy watching Von Miller dabbin’? No, we’re not talking about the top Urban Dictionary definition of dabbing: “To…
Yesterday’s Broncos-Chargers game, won by Denver 17-3, wasn’t a particularly entertaining contest for the average football fan. At one point, announcer Kevin Harlan actually rhapsodized about how much fun it would have been to call the Panthers-Saints barn-burner (final score: 41-38 Carolina) as opposed to the one to which he’d…
Some wins are bigger than others. That was certainly the case for the Broncos’ overtime victory against the New England Patriots on Sunday — a triumph made juicier by the fact that the Pats were undefeated coming into the contest and cocky quarterback Tom Brady had posted an image of…
Prior to last night’s Denver-New England game, quarterback and hate memes target Tom Brady shared on social media an image of him riding the Broncos’ mascot. We have no idea if this pic inspired the Broncos to beat the Pats, but beat them they did in a 30-24 overtime thriller…
Quarterback Brock Osweiler’s performance against the Bears this past Sunday helped lead to a Broncos win — and has convinced many fans that he should replace Peyton Manning on a longer-term, and perhaps permanent, basis. Osweiler has already been named the starter in the Broncos’ next contest against the undefeated New…
The big question going into the November 22 game pitting the Broncos against the Bears in Chicago: Would Brock Osweiler, getting his first NFL regular season start on his 25th birthday, do enough while filling in for an injured Peyton Manning to create a quarterback controversy. For some, the Broncos’…
As we’ve reported, Broncos backup quarterback Brock Osweiler has been named the starter for this Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. Why? Peyton Manning is said to be suffering from a rib-cage injury and a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his left foot — reasons given for his…
It’s official. In the wake of the Broncos’ humiliating loss to the Chiefs, Coach Gary Kubiak has announced that backup quarterback Brock Oweiler will start against the Chicago Bears this Sunday for future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, who’s said to be suffering from a rib-cage injury and a partial tear…
It’s hard to believe, but just two weeks ago, after the Broncos’ big win over the Green Bay Packers, Peyton Manning fans were telling doubters to suck it. Not now. Manning suffered through one of his most horrific days ever against the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday, throwing four picks and…
