Good morning, Broncos Country!
Is this the week?
Will the Denver Broncos offense finally look and play like an NFL offense?
Fans of the Broncos have asked those questions for five weeks. They are still waiting. There have been moments, but Denver’s offense has been consistently offensive.
For Russell Wilson, Nathaniel Hackett and the Broncos, that has to change on Monday against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The good news is the LA defense is vulnerable.
For all of the hype heading into the season, the Chargers defense is probably worse than it was a season ago. They don’t anything well on that side of the ball.
The other good news is that the Broncos know how to beat Los Angeles. Denver is 4-2 against the Chargers dating back to 2019.
But unless Denver’s offense flips the script and plays its best game of the season, none of that matters.
Wilson has to play better.
Hackett has to call his best game of the season.
The Broncos need to execute.
No more excuses. No more talk.
