6 Broncos players who must step up to help avoid early playoff exit
The Denver Broncos are ripe for a postseason letdown, according to many critics. The Denver Broncos are being criticized for potentially being a letdown in the postseason, with many believing they are a strong Super Bowl contender. The team currently sits at 13-3 and has a chance to be the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a win over the Los Angeles Chargers. However, many believe this is not realistic due to their recent loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. These six players need to step up in order to avoid being the playoff flop many believe will be. Troy Franklin, the Broncos' second-leading receiver on the season, has caught 65 passes for 709 yards and six touchdowns through 16 games. Bo Nix needs to be able to throw the ball to Franklin with confidence in the playoffs. Alex Forsyth will likely start the team's first two playoff games and possibly the rest of the season as a starting center. The strength of this team is the defense and pass rush, particularly due to Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper's quiet recent games.
