They dive into what the game revealed about Denver’s offense without Bo Nix, the missed explosive chances for Marvin Mims Jr. and Courtland Sutton, and why the defense had Drake May rattled early. Jake Plummer also joins the show to talk about what went wrong in the Broncos AFC Championship game vs the New England Patriots. Plus, the offseason blueprint: add playmakers, clean up situational football, and take the next step in the Payton–Nix era.
