It wasn’t long ago that I was calling for the Broncos to chase John Harbaugh this offseason. That may yet be the case, but with back to back wins over playoff teams the last two weeks there is now an obvious road where Vance Joseph and the vast majority of the coaching staff come back in 2019.
Now before you send me an angry email or three, hear me out. I’m not saying the 5-6 Vance Joseph has left what may be the hottest seat in the league just yet. The mistakes he made against the Chiefs and especially Texans hang over the entire season at present. After Sunday’s win over the Steelers I played with the ESPN Playoff Machine for a good while looking at every scenario in front of the team with 5 weeks to go. For any realistic shot to exist, they have to win all five. The good news? After playing one a true murderers row through 11 weeks, their remaining slate gets considerably softer.
The Broncos' final 5 games of the regular season...
— Taylor Kothe (@taylorkothe_nfl) November 26, 2018
@ Bengals
@ 49ers
vs Browns
@ Raiders
vs Chargers
If this team stays disciplined and hungry, they should win at least 3 and possibly all 5. And fortunately, the 2 toughest games are home games.
It’s fair to expect the Broncos to win at least 3 of those games. The Bengals just lost their starting quarterback for the year and will start Jeff Driskell, who has thrown all of 36 career passes. The 49ers are starting Nick Mullens, who just finished with 18/32 221 1 TD 2 Interception line to a horrid Tampa Bay defense. The Oakland Raiders are a running joke.
If Denver finishes the year 8-8 and Vance Joseph gets a 3rd year, it’s fair to question John Elway after he claimed his rationale for hiring Kubiak in the wake of the John Fox “resignation” was his desire to have a team that’s kicking and screaming. Even 9-7 would be a disappointing season given the porous management in the Texans game.
But if Denver sweeps the Chargers in week 17 to make the dance? Vance Joseph will have proven Elway prophetic when he called the him a leader of men. One that clearly needs to improve at a lot of the little things that go into being an NFL head coach, but one who will have kept a locker room afloat in light of some serious rough waters.
At that point, I’d take whatever Elway decides without complaint. How about you Broncos Country?

We could talk about how many yards the defense gave up. We could talk about the Broncos giving up a fake field goal touchdown. We could point fingers. Instead, this week, we should just enjoy the moment. The one big takeaway from the game is that it is fun in Broncos Country again. I, for one, am going to enjoy it.

Broncos: A- If you’re ever wondering what a “bend, but don’t break defense” looks like, just watch film from this game. Although the Broncos defense got shredded by the Steelers, no one will remember that because they came up with big plays when they had to. The Broncos forced four turnovers, which led to a total of 14 points for Denver. Two of those turnovers also came with Pittsburgh inside of the Broncos’ two-yard line, which kept the Steelers from scoring points. Those turnovers were big, because the Steelers were on a roll for most of the game, racking up 527 yards of offense. This game actually marked the first time in franchise history that the Broncos won after surrendering 525 or more yards of total offense. Going into Sunday, they were 0-8 in that situation. Offensively, Phillip Lindsay did a good job of carrying the load with 14 carries 110 yards. Although Case Keenum struggled with his accuracy (15 of 28) he did come up big with two touchdown passes.
Audibles at the Line: Week 12 | Football Outsiders
Aaron Schatz: I actually don’t mind the Denver pass/run ratio. We’re not talking about him like we talk about the hot young offensive playcallers, but I think Bill Musgrave deserves some credit for designing a Denver offense that’s so good on the ground and has a lot of misdirection in it to prop up Case Keenum. They just went up 24-17 and on the touchdown drive there was a sweet little pass play that was fake screen left, then fake screen right, then toss up the middle to a wide-open tight end Jeff Heuerman. The Denver offense also uses a lot of motion to confuse defenses, like the best modern offenses. I mean, if I asked where Denver ranked in offensive DVOA going into this week, you would probably guess something in the bottom half of the league, right? They’re 11th.

2018 NFL AFC playoff race - Sorting wild division scenarios through Week 12
9. Denver Broncos (5-6) FPI playoff chances: 9.7 percent Two weeks ago, I mentioned that the Broncos were better than their 3-6 record and likely to improve during the second half of the season. I didn’t expect those developments to take place immediately. The Broncos have saved their season by beating the Chargers and Steelers in consecutive weeks. A team that looked like it might be firing coach Vance Joseph before the season actually has an outside shot at making it back to the postseason. With the win, though, the Broncos unlock the easiest part of their schedule. It includes three road games in four weeks, but the opponents -- the Bengals, 49ers, Browns and Raiders -- aren’t scaring anyone. The best-case scenario for the Broncos is that they stay on a hot streak while the Chargers struggle without Melvin Gordon in advance of a Week 17 rematch between the two in Denver.

Baker Mayfield and Philip Rivers take control: Week 12 in the NFL | SI.com
“It’s our inside-the-5 defense—we call it Cub Free,” Joseph said over the phone after the win. “It’s really a 46 defense with an extra defender in to fill. And it’s designed to stop the run game obviously, and then play leverage on the slot. Our D-linemen obviously play the run game first, and then they pop [into coverage] for the pass. So we knew the pass rush wasn’t going to be our premium for that call, but if he threw it, it was gonna be short and across the middle. “So we have a low-ball player, and we have a guy popping in the hole. It was a great call by [coordinator] Joe Woods, something we practice all the time. On first down, it was the same defense, Chris Harris makes the play on the inverted fade. The second down, we stop the run. And the third down was Shelby’s play.”
11. Denver Broncos (5-6): The Broncos are suddenly alive too with this win -- they have a major uphill battle to make the playoffs, but if they can rip off a few decent wins, they’re far from dead. Von Miller is a monster.
NFL Week 12: The 12 dumbest mistakes from Sunday, ranked - SBNation.com
12. The Broncos offensive line imploded at an awful time Denver led 24-17 with a little more than five minutes to play when Case Keenum lined up for a vital third down. Gaining four yards meant salting time off the clock and potentially extending a game-sealing drive. A Steelers stop meant punting the ball back to Pittsburgh and giving Ben Roethlisberger the chance to lead his club back for a game-tying touchdown with plenty of time left on the clock.
It’s understandable given the fact that he’s the 4th guard, but Elijah Wilkinson is an obvious weak link along the Broncos offensive line.
8. Antonio Brown: not a quarterback The Steelers had pushed into Broncos territory when they dialed up the perfect trick play. Ben Roethlisberger’s backward pass to Antonio Brown shifted 10 members of the Denver defense to the right side of the field, leaving running back Jaylen Samuels wide open down the left sideline. Any pass within five yards of the streaking Steeler would have resulted in a walk-in touchdown.
2. Ben Roethlisberger brain farted the game to the Broncos Ben Roethlisberger torched the Broncos in the face of fierce pressure when he delivered a perfect deep ball to JuJu Smith-Schuster for a 97-yard touchdown. Two passes later, he’d land on the opposite end of the spectrum.
That 97-yard touchdown was one of the few times all day that the Broncos corners did not play off coverage on the dynamic duo.

Solak Mock Draft 3.0 - Page 2 of 4 - The Draft Network
14. Denver Broncos Greedy Williams, CB, LSU Denver likely would have snagged Jeffery Simmons/Ed Oliver if Atlanta had taken Greedy; so if you really hate the pick for either team, just switch ‘em and don’t complain to me about it. We know Denver has found success in recent history with elite corner play, and that’s why they invest a first rounder in Greedy Williams. Williams has the frame, quickness, and eye discipline to play in almost any alignment, though he has struggled int he press this year. Off coverage, as Denver often deploys, is a great use of his skill set.
If the Broncos can’t grab a quarterback in next year’s draft, the most obvious route to building up the 2019 team is finding a dynamic corner or safety prospect. Greedy Williams is all that and more.
13. Denver Broncos Daniel Jones, QB, Duke. Jones has the size, arm talent, and collegiate schooling from David Cutcliffe, to be a quality quarterback at the NFL level. He could sit behind Case Keenum to begin 2019, but the Broncos probably need to take a signal-caller in the first round.
Taking a quarterback simply because of the need at the position is how Elway wound up with Paxton Lynch.

Rivers completed his first 25 passes Sunday and finished the game 28-for-29 with 259 yards and three touchdowns.

With Jimmy Garoppolo under center, the 49ers were widely viewed as a potential playoff contender, while the Bears were picked by most people to finish in third or fourth place.

Why Kliff Kingsbury should be the NFL’s next offensive coordinator hire | Touchdown Wire
“Our offense is a lot more complex than the old Air Raid, because Coach Kingsbury, coming from the NFL, has made it more complex,” Mahomes told me in April, 2017, a couple weeks before the Chiefs took him in the first round. “And that’s why it’s so successful.”
If Elway moves on from Joseph and Musgrave after 2018, there isn’t an offensive mind I’d want more than Kingsbury. He’s going to be a star if he jumps to the NFL.
In undergrad I needed to raise $5k for a scholarship and was gonna ask Kliff Kingsbury to come speak and sell tickets. Kliff agreed to come speak but said he didn’t want students to pay to hear him speak. When I met him that day he handed me a check for $5k. I’ll miss him.

By kicking the field goal, the Packers retained 1.5 percent GWC whereas going for it would have dropped their GWC down to 1.0 percent. With limited time, only one timeout, and trailing by 10 points, this decision gave the Packers the best chance to quickly tie the game. McCarthy followed up the made field goal with an attempted onside kick. This decision improved the Packers GWC to 2.3 percent. This was also the right call as a regular kickoff would have dropped their GWC down to 1.7 percent.
