Sometimes, getting knocked out doesn’t scream failure—it whispers progress. The Broncos wrapped up the 2023 season with an 8-9 record, missing the playoffs after the Chiefs’ win over the Bengals sealed their fate. Fast forward to now, and while they didn’t exactly go down swinging—Josh Allen, and the Bills schooled Bo Nix and Co. with a 31-7 postseason thrashing—the trajectory still points up.
Growth with a side of bitter truth? It’s a tough pill, but one Broncos fans can swallow.
Inside the Broncos’ locker room, Nick Bonitto’s tearful red eyes told the story. “Just knowing where we started at. Just how far we came as a group. I’m just really proud,” he said, voice heavy with emotion. Bonitto wasn’t alone in feeling the weight of this season. One that showed flashes of promise, even if the final chapter ended in Buffalo’s backyard.
Sean Payton’s squad has come a long way, and while they’re still far from the top of the AFC mountain, the climb has begun. This season wasn’t about instant glory; it was about laying a foundation. And while there’s pride in how far they’ve come, it’s clear the Broncos know there’s still a lot of work left to do.
This is a developing story. Stay tuned!
