The Denver Broncos are currently third in the AFC West with two wins and four losses. Their season has not started the way people expected it to start, although a win against the Jets would be highly appreciated. They were 7-10 in the 2021-2022 season and are looking to improve on it this time around. Their opening game of the season was an unfortunate single-point loss to the Seattle Seahawks (17-16).
The Broncos came back strong in Week 2 by defeating the Houston Texans 16-9. In Game 3 they survived a narrow one-point win over the San Francisco 49ers (11-10). Post that win, Denver faced back-to-back defeats at the hands of the Las Vegas Raiders (23-32) and the Indianapolis Colts (9-12).
