Take a deep breath, Broncos country.

It's going to be okay.

We're going to break down what went wrong and start looking ahead because the Broncos have a short week here.

Plus, we're going to get into some Pro Bowl talk because we've got news on that end.

And we're going to do it inside the DNVR or the Toyota Lounge driven by your local front range Toyota stores. And we are presented by Bet 365. He's at code DNVR 365 when you sign up. Place $5 bet after depositing $10, you're going to get $150 in bonus bets. And we are the DMVR Broncos podcast. Super Bowl 50 champ, Benny Fowler to my left. Henry Chisholm to my right. We got Dion behind the camera and Zach Stevens rocking and him rolling with you today. Fellas, how we holding up here? First time we're talking about a loss

in three months, which is wild. Yeah, it is wild. I feel fine. You know, it's a regular season.

This is not a playoff game where, you know, it's a winner going home. Yeah, you want the Broncos to win every game. You definitely want them to win at home. You definitely want them to win going into Christmas. But it is what it is. And, yeah, the Broncos got beat handily yesterday. They got dominated in the second half. And, you know, I think it's a great learning experience, learning moment for the

Broncos. And they talked about that after the game. Sean Payton talked about it. The players talked

about it. I think us, if you take a look back at the film, the Jaguars made plays. They made

plays yesterday. And they were one-on-one matchups. They took advantage of their matchups. And they played really well.

It's an NFL team that now has 11 wins. You know, this wasn't a four-win Jaguars team coming

into mile high. They've been playing well, averaging 32 points a game. And they continued that

streak of, I don't know, was it the last two months? They've been averaging those of those types of score. So I feel pretty good though, you know, just looking at the film and seeing how the Broncos are approaching things. So I feel good. Yeah, I don't feel bad about the team at all. Like I still look at them and say, yep, they're as good as anybody, um, even if they didn't get the win yesterday.

I'm more concerned about the standings, though, because it would have been really nice to have just won yesterday because now, now the path becomes a lot narrower to everything that you want

to achieve. You, you basically have to win your next two games. Um, there's a chance you could get

away with not doing that, but odds are if you want the one seed, you have to win both these two games.

That Chargers game in particular is now, I don't want to say like it's terrifying because that would be the wrong approach.

Like, at worst, it's a 50-50 game and that should never scare you too much. But it would just be really disappointing if at the end of this season, you start the playoffs on the road because you lose to the Chargers in week 18. It would just be... Even if they win on Thursday and they lose to the Chargers, you could still start on the road. Assuming the... If the Chargers beat the Texans on Sunday. So what's kind of fun is, even though the Broncos play on Thursday night and they don't actually play this weekend, there's just as big of a game on Sunday for Broncos fans to watch. And pulling for the Texans. Because if the Broncos went on Thursday and the Texans beat the Chargers, Broncos have the AFC West locked up. So they will not be going on the road, guaranteed. But Week 18 could be for a playoff positioning still, just depending on how other things shake up. And if you don't win the AFC West, then you're a wildcard team, and that means you're going to Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, or New England. A. A 13-win wildcard team. Isn't that insane?

But, I mean, that's how do you guys?

Are you guys big on the division thing being so important?

I love it.

No, no.
