Broncos vs. Rams Week 3: Bo Nix’s Next Test
Can Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos carry their momentum into Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams? David and Spotty break down the 2026 Week 3 matchup, from stopping Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay’s offense to protecting Nix against Aaron Donald and the Rams’ defensive front. The defensive challenge starts with Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and a physical run game that can set up dangerous downfield throws. The guys dig into the Rams’ two- and three-tight-end packages, why those looks test Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad, and how Vance Joseph could respond. Plus, Puka Nacua’s uncertain availability, a potential Pat Surtain II vs. Davante Adams showdown, and whether Jahdae Barron could see a larger role. On offense, the focus turns to Bo Nix’s rhythm, Davis Webb’s play-calling and the growing connection with Jaylen Waddle over the middle. Can Denver’s offensive line create running room and keep Nix comfortable? The conversation also covers J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman, Marvin Mims’ return-game value, the production from Evan Engram and Nate Adkins, and why it’s too early to give up on Pat Bryant. David and Spotty finish with different score predictions and their keys to a Broncos win in prime time.

Broncos Beat Jaguars: Coleman Fuels the Comeback
The Denver Broncos erased a 13–3 deficit against the Jacksonville Jaguars to grab their first win of the season, and Victory Monday feels a whole lot better than the alternative. But this Broncos vs. Jaguars postgame breakdown isn't just a celebration. Denver showed the fight to finish, along with a few familiar problems that still need fixing. KevDan, Adam, and Scott the Flag Man break down the Week 2 comeback, from Jaylen Waddle's eight-catch, 138-yard bounce-back performance to Jonah Coleman's touchdown, Mile High Salute, and veteran-minded decision to keep the clock running. With injury questions surrounding J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, has Coleman earned a bigger role in the Broncos' backfield? On defense, Riley Moss's interception and Zach Allen's pressure helped Denver stay in the fight. The crew debates whether the pass rush is doing enough beyond the sack totals, why Jacksonville's approach played into the Broncos' strengths, and how Cam Little's missed field goal helped swing the momentum. The win doesn't erase the frustration over penalties, slow offensive starts, and missed opportunities near the goal line. We dig into Bo Nix, Davis Webb's play-calling, the need to establish the run, and what Denver must clean up before facing the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. Plus, the Jaguars fans who disappeared from the comments, the Chargers' rough start, and a little perspective on the AFC West. The Broncos are 1–1, the season is young, and there's plenty left to prove.

Broncos vs. Jaguars Week 2: Can Bo Nix Bounce Back?
Can Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos bounce back against the Jacksonville Jaguars in their 2026 home opener? David and Spotty preview the Week 2 matchup, break down what needs to change after the Chiefs loss, and debate whether Denver can find its identity on offense before another tough test. The defensive conversation starts with missed tackles, Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville’s receiving threats. Can the Broncos clean up their execution, force third-and-long and give Nik Bonitto a chance to disrupt the game? On offense, the focus turns to getting Jaylen Waddle involved, leaning on the offensive line and committing to the run. The guys also discuss Davis Webb’s play-calling, Sean Payton’s influence, Evan Engram’s role, and the injury concerns surrounding Marvin Mims and RJ Harvey, including a potential opportunity for Jonah Coleman. Plus, two different score predictions and a little perspective for Broncos Country: how much concern is justified after one rough week? It’s an honest look at what Denver needs to fix before taking on Jacksonville.

Broncos vs Chiefs MNF: Week 1 Pregame Breakdown
David and Spotty break down the Denver Broncos' 2026 season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. They dive into the Chiefs' offensive question marks — Patrick Mahomes' knee, an undrafted rookie at left tackle, and a thin receiving corps — and why the Broncos' pass rush with Nik Bonitto and Zach Allen could feast. On the other side, they discuss Bo Nix's history of playing his best against Kansas City, how new offensive coordinator Davis Webb might deploy Jalen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, and the run game, and what to expect from Sean Payton's offense in Week 1. Both hosts pick the Broncos to win, with score predictions of 27-13 and 20-13. Segment 1: Chiefs Offense vs Broncos Defense (00:00 - 16:33) Broncos open the 2026 season on Monday Night Football in Kansas City Patrick Mahomes returning from a knee injury with a bulky brace — no reporting out of KC on his condition Chiefs starting undrafted rookie Khalil Benson at left tackle; Jaylon Moore moved to right tackle Broncos pass rush without Jonathon Cooper (commissioner's exempt list, ~6 games) and JFM (free agency departure) Nik Bonitto and Zach Allen still headline a deep rotation — Malcolm Roach, Eyioma Uwazurike, Sai'vion Jones, Tyler Onyedim Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker: boom-or-bust runner, but who's the answer in third and long? Rashee Rice not looking fast or explosive in training camp after offseason injury rehab Travis Kelce getting older; Xavier Worthy and Cyrus Allen as unproven weapons Broncos secondary: Pat Surtain, Riley Moss (full go, not on injury report), Brandon Jones, Talanoa Hufanga, Ja'Quan McMillian Inside linebacker position: Broncos prioritize front four and secondary over LB — and it works Surtain (9th highest paid CB), Moss, and McMillian all in contract years with chips on their shoulders Vance Joseph has held the Chiefs under 12 points per game over the last couple seasons Segment 2: Plugging the Pluggables (16:33 - 18:16) 11th season of Bourbon, Broncos & No B.S. coverage Find us on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, and anywhere you get podcasts BroncosAndBourbon.com — lifetime subscription for $1, exclusive articles and content Show schedule: Mondays (non-MNF weeks): Postgame Podcast Live @ 8 PM MT Tuesdays: Bourbon, Broncos & No B.S.

Chiefs secondary: rookie over Mansoor Delane, L'Jarius Sneed back from Tennessee, S Jamari Conner may not play Receiving corps: Waddle, Sutton, Pat Bryant, Troy Franklin (number four), Evan Engram — deepest in years Ronald Curry brought in as new WR coach to address drops Run game: heavy dose of JK Dobbins, Jonah Coleman (limited snaps), RJ Harvey (outside runs) Ben Powers back from injury strengthens the run-blocking offensive line Chiefs DT Chris Jones limited with calf injury; rookie DT Peter Woods could see time Chiefs LB corps: Nick Bolton, Drue Tranquill, Jeffrey Bosa — one of the best in the league Spagnuolo will challenge Bo's ankle mobility — "take a shot every time they mention Bo's ankle, you'll be hammered by halftime" Segment 4: Score Predictions (34:27 - 36:20) David: Broncos 27, Chiefs 13 Spotty: Broncos 20, Chiefs 13 Both picking the Broncos — and they know what happens when they both do that Links & Resources BroncosAndBourbon.com — $1 lifetime membership Subscribe on YouTube, Spotify, and iTunes Join the Tailgate Talk live one hour before kickoff for score prediction prizes Follow Us Website: BroncosAndBourbon.com YouTube, Spotify, iTunes — search "Bourbon Broncos No BS" This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy
