As the Broncos (5-10) enter the final week of 2020 in dead last in the AFC West, the question must be asked: Is Denver the worst team in the division?
Here’s a two-sentence comparison as to where the Broncos currently stand compared against the other three teams in the division as the second season of head coach Vic Fangio and quarterback Drew Lock comes to a close.
Kansas City — The Broncos appear years behind catching the Chiefs and aren’t in the same stratosphere as the five-time defending divisional champions in any aspect of the game. All-Pro quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ ever-escalating stardom will make sure that gap stays Royal Gorge-sized over the course of the next decade.
Las Vegas — In Denver’s first-ever trip to Las Vegas on Nov. 15, the Raiders punched them in the mouth 37-12 while dressing Lock down for four picks. The Raiders’ trajectory since that win (lost five of six) underscores that franchise’s overall inconsistencies, but quarterback Derek Carr remains leaps-and-bounds better than Lock.
Los Angeles — Only embattled Chargers coach Anthony Lynn can make Vic Fangio’s job in Denver look totally secure as seven of Los Angeles’ nine losses came by one possession or less. But even the Chargers had enough gusto to beat the Broncos last Sunday, and rookie quarterback Justin Herbert is certain to be a game-changer in L.A.
