Kiszla: Have yourself a dreary, little Christmas. Broncos’ playoff dreams turn into lump of coal.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:28:53 GMT

Bah, humbug. The Broncos made it a dreary Christmas, losing 26-23 Saturday night to New England.What appeared to be a miraculous fourth-quarter rally by Denver was turned into defeat when Patriots kicker Chad Ryland drilled a 56-yard field goal in the final two seconds that will matter to Denver this NFL season.“A disappointing finish,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said.“Our margin for error isn’t what we need it to be and we end up on the losing end of the game.”Playoffs? Playoffs! Playoffs? They’re out of the question.“We’re not going to insert the Jim Mora playoff press conference,” Payton said.The only real question for this team now: Why is quarterback Russell Wilson still here?With his five-year, $245 million contract extension yet to begin, it feels like the Broncos would be better off moving on from a very expensive gamble of revitalizing Wilson’s career.In the course of another lost season for a franchise that hasn...

Broncos four downs: Playoff hopes on life support after Bailey Zappe and Patriots hand Denver one last embarrassing home loss

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:28:53 GMT

Initial thoughts from Broncos’ 26-23 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 16 at Empower Field at Mile High on Christmas Eve:Orange flush: We cannot say enough good things about the “snowcapped” helmets the Broncos wore on Sunday night. The logo? An all-time classic. The blue and orange stripes? Chef’s kiss. The all-orange tops and pants? Throw them into a fire and then shoot the ashy remains into the sun. It would be one thing if just the tops or just the bottoms were orange. That much orange, we can sign off on. But going for the all-orange Christmas pajama onesie look? That, dear readers, is an abomination.Marvin giveth and taketh: One of the great mysteries of this season has been Sean Payton’s inability to harness Marvin Mims Jr.’s game-changing speed on offense. As his second punt return of the evening (a dazzling 52-yarder) illustrated, the rookie out of Oklahoma is special with the ball in space. But as his fumbled kick return in the third qu...

Heroes and Zeros from Denver’s 26-23 loss to the New England Patriots

Here are the heroes and zeros from the Broncos’ 26-23 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday evening at Empower Field at Mile High.HeroesMarvin Mims Jr.: If you haven’t noticed already, Denver’s rookie wide receiver is pretty fast. Mims provided his team some juice when he bolted across the field for a 52-yard punt return in the first quarter, making multiple Patriots players miss along the way. Denver took advantage of the solid field position with a 3-yard rushing touchdown from running back Javonte Williams with 5:15 left in the first quarter. Mims kept Denver’s hopes alive in the fourth when his 47-yard reception helped set up tight end Lucas Krull’s touchdown reception to cut the deficit to 23-15.Related ArticlesDenver Broncos | Broncos start Christmas Eve night against Patriots by hitting on several season-long themes, including an ominous offensive trend Denver Broncos | Broncos 23, Patriots 23: Russell Wilson connects with Brandon Johnson for t...

Broncos playoff hopes go bust on Christmas Eve after comeback falls short against Patriots

The Broncos will wake up Monday morning with nothing but coal in their stockings.They’ve got only themselves to blame for a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas.Needing three wins to close the season and hosting the 3-11 New England Patriots on Christmas Eve, the Broncos marred their own holiday weekend with a loss that all but seals their 2023 fate.The offense: Putrid at the start, roaring to life too late.The other two units: Strong early, only to sustain massive letdowns at critical junctures.The final count: New England 26, Denver 23 after Chad Ryland drilled a 56-yard field goal with 2 seconds left to stick a fork right through the Broncos.The real damage is this: Any hope of making it out of a jumbled AFC playoff picture practically speaking went out the window when the Broncos dropped to 7-8 for the season. It’ll take 10 wins minimum barring something exceedingly unlikely happening. The teams that hit that mark will undoubtedly be more injured than this Denver team is. At least a...
