The Denver Broncos are one win away from the AFC No. 1 seed—so on this episode of Broncos X’s & O’s, Bennie Fowler and KOA’s Dave Logan break down how Sean Payton and Bo Nix can beat the Los Angeles Chargers and lock up home-field advantage. Fresh off a 20–13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead, they dive into what Denver did right (time of possession, third-down success, red-zone defense) and what must improve for a Super Bowl run. Plus: why R.J. Harvey is emerging as the “Joker,” how the defense can clean up late-season communication, and why special teams (Marvin Mims Jr. + Wil Lutz) could swing the playoffs.
