The Denver Broncos were hyped about making it to the playoffs for the first time in almost a decade, but they had a huge cold hill to climb before making it to the next round. That hill, famously named the Buffalo Bills appeared more like a mountain.
On Sunday, the Denver Broncos were in Buffalo before one of the league’s most hostile environments ready to take on the Josh Allen-led Bills. Denver received the ball and on the first drive of the game, rookie quarterback Bo Nix lead Denver down the field to score the first touchdown of the game, taking a 7-0 lead.
Unfortunately for Denver, the Broncos without a capable running game were unable to muster any additional points while the defense struggled to contain one of the league’s best quarterbacks.
Despite Denver’s defense keeping it close until the half (10-7) Denver’s struggles were even more apparent in the second half allowing three more touchdowns giving the Bills a 31-7 victory.
While Denver may have been blown-out in the second half fans can rest easier knowing that they now have a franchise quarterback under center who was capable of getting their team to the playoffs, and he did it with one of the largest dead-caps in NFL history…as a rookie. Nix broke several records his rookie season and has without a doubt sparked hope throughout Broncos Country for the foreseeable future.
On a personal note and many Denver fan’s note: In recent weeks various news outlets have reported that the Broncos organization is interested in moving Empower Field at Mile High Stadium out of the city of Denver into a neighboring suburb south of Denver. While most fans understand the importance of expanding, and modernizing Empower Field at Mile High Stadium, fans and residents of the City of Denver are confident that this can all be achieved within Denver’s boundaries.
For nearly 60 years, the Denver Broncos have been more than just a football team; they are a cornerstone of the cities pride and history. Empower Field at Mile High Stadium, with its breathtaking views of the Rockies and iconic elevation has become a national symbol of Denver’s unique character. Moving the stadium would sever the deep ties between the team and the city, and compromise the very essence of the Denver Broncos.
The Broncos have been a defining part of Denver’s identity and Empower Field at Mile High Stadium has hosted generations of fans, unforgettable games, and events. Empower Field at Mile High Stadium has been a hub for Denver’s economy, generating revenue for local businesses and jobs for city residents.
Most importantly, the Denver Broncos have united Denver’s diverse population, bringing people together regardless of age, race, or background. Moving the stadium out of the city would create a disconnect, diminishing the sense of unity the team fosters in Denver. The team’s name proudly bears the cities name and relocating Empower Field at Mile High Stadium undermines this identity, risking the dilution of Denver’s legacy in the sport.
