Conversely, they will look to leverage their home advantage in games against the Los Angeles Chargers and the Miami Dolphins.
The scheduling also includes a notable bye week in Week 10, allowing players to rest and rejuvenate ahead of a rigorous second half of the season. “Our goal is to maintain a competitive edge through every week. The bye week comes at a perfect time,” shared star quarterback Russell Wilson.
Broncos Country remains optimistic as the roster showcases a blend of seasoned veterans and promising newcomers, including tight end Greg Dulcich and standout wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. Fans and analysts have begun speculating about the potential for the team to vie for a higher position in the AFC standings. Playoff hopes rest firmly on the shoulders of the coaching staff and an offense that is beginning to gel. “This season, we’re looking to build chemistry and execute at a high level,” said Payton.
As the offseason progresses, the focus will shift towards refining game strategies and ensuring that the players are fully prepared for what promises to be an exhilarating 2024 NFL season.
