Sean Payton's INSANE Rebuild, Bye Week & AFC #1 Seed + More | Broncos X & O's ft. Hufanga & Simmons

from DNVR Denver Broncos Podcast · host ALLCITY Network

Sean Payton’s Broncos rebuild is officially complete: Denver finished 14–3, clinched the AFC’s No. 1 seed and home-field advantage after a 19–3 Week 18 win over the Chargers— Bennie Fowler and KOA’s Dave Logan break down how the staff and Walton-Penner ownership pulled off a dead-cap-to-top-seed turnaround on the Broncos X's & O's Podcast. We dive into the bye-week mindset, what the offense must clean up, and why Bo Nix’s mobility plus Sean’s playoff play-calling can raise this unit’s ceiling heading into the Divisional Round. Plus, Talanoa Hufanga joins to explain what it’s like being the starting safety on the AFC’s top team, while Justin Simmons details the Broncos’ “controlled chaos” defensive identity and what wins in January. If you’re looking for Broncos playoffs analysis, AFC seeding talk, and the smartest X’s-and-O’s breakdown in Broncos Country—this episode is for you.📬 Denver sports in your inbox: https://thednvr.com/newsletterAn ALLCITY Network ProductionPARTY WITH US: https://thednvr.com/eventsALL THINGS DNVR: https://linktr.ee/dnvrsportsBALL-KNOWER BONUS/Merch: https://promotion.allcitynetwork.com/allSUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/DNVR_Sportsbet365: Go to https://www.bet365.com/hub/en-us/app-hero-banner-1?utm_source=affiliate&utm_campaign=usapp&utm_medium=affiliate&affiliate=365_03485318 or use code DNVR365 when you sign up.
