👋 Good Morning!

Enjoy your victory (Tuesday).

I love the day after a big Broncos win. Food tastes a little better, music sounds a little smoother, even traffic feels just a little less annoying.

The Broncos found their groove last night 🕺

(Imagn)

The atmosphere was perfect on Monday. Under the lights, on a gorgeous Colorado night where the sky was orange and blue at kickoff, the Broncos came out and beat the absolute snot out of the Bengals.

Don’t get me wrong. I can appreciate a great game where both teams go blow for blow for four quarters, but after getting walked off in back-to-back weeks, a stress-free win on primetime TV felt pretty good to me.

There were a handful of missed plays. This honestly could have been a 40 point beatdown without the drops and the Red Zone interception. A 28-3 win where you out-gain the opposition by 353 yards is not worth nitpicking the morning after though. They passed the eye test in a game they needed to win.

Here’s a few things that I loved about Denver’s performance:

The Broncos not only had a 100-yard rusher for the first time in 38 games, the team totaled 11 first downs on the ground which was more than the past two games combined.
Per PFF, Bo Nix was 12-of-16 for 153 yards & recorded 11 first downs against the blitz on Monday night. His 326 passing yards was a season-high as well. He shredded them.
The Broncos didn’t have to attempt a field goal for the first time in 13 games. The last was a similarly dominant performance against Carolina in 2024.
Garrett Bolles DOMINATED Trey Hendrickson.

The Bengals are trash without Joe Burrow. Enjoy the win though. Consume all of the content, watch all the highlights, it’s a good day in Broncos Country.

We’re so back

The Nuggets held media day yesterday and the vibes could not be better going into the season. Oh, and if I haven’t said it by now, I would go to war for Nikola Jokić.
