TOUGH: Denver Broncos, Bo Nix BIGGEST THREAT To AFC Crown is Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

The Denver Broncos, and Bo Nix's biggest threat to their AFC crown is Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Can Denver repeat in 2026 as the conference’s top seed, or will Allen, James Cook, and DJ Moore step in the way? Cody Roark and Sayre Bedinger rank Denver’s toughest AFC challengers, examining Buffalo’s playoff experience, Joe Brady’s new offense, and Jim Leonard’s defensive role. They also identify the Los Angeles Chargers as Denver’s biggest AFC West obstacle, with Justin Herbert, Mike McDaniel’s run scheme, and a dangerous defensive front. The New England Patriots round out the discussion after eliminating Denver in the AFC Championship Game. Who are truly the biggest threats to the Broncos this season? Cody Roark is a credentialed beat reporter for Mile High Sports and provides boots-on-the-ground coverage of the Broncos daily in person. Sayre Bedinger is the site expert for Predominantly Orange. Together, both bring Broncos Country the most in-depth and objective coverage of the Denver Broncos. 📸 - Ron Chenoy — Imagn Images WANT MORE DAILY DENVER BRONCOS CONTENT?
