It would be really awesome if the Broncos didn’t embarass us on Monday night.
For football fans, the offseason was full of delicious preseason Broncos hype. Expecations were that Bo Nix and the offense would take that next explosive step. Surely the dominant defense from last year would only get more ferocious under Vance Joseph’s steady hand, right? The losing ways of the last decade were going to be a thing of the past.
So far, the Broncos everyone expected have yet to show up to the 2025 season have been MIA. At 1-2, the Broncos have been disappointing. From an offense desperate to find any sort of consistency to a defense what has seemingly forgotten how to stop the run, the Broncos are doing a damn good job dispelling all that offseason optimism.
On Monday, the Broncos are hosting the banged-up Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. What version of the Broncos are they going to show the world? Is it going to be the penalty-heavy, sluggish, soft, Broncos that allows running backs to carve them up, or have the Broncos found that sense of Mile High pride to change the early narrative?
In the end, optimistic prognostication doesn’t count for diddly squat once the season starts. The games will be played and the Broncos are going to show the world exactly who they are. Are they a team that can take care of business versus a team missing their starting quarterback or are they a team that will play down to the opposition, doing just enough to lose the game in heart-breaking fashion. Last-second field goal, anyone?
Monday Night Football is mere hours away and we are fixin’ to find out.
