Denver Broncos Podcast — Muffed

Denver won while 18 of Bo Nix's 34 throws were charted catchable, 53 percent and the lowest of the 32 offenses this week, with 4 interception-worthy balls, a rate that has risen three weeks running; the Rams sent five or more rushers on only 23 percent of his dropbacks, ending the two-week line in the notebook, and Denver's own defense sent five or more at 41 percent and held Stafford to 34 catchable throws in 53.

Denver used motion on 38 of 74 charted plays, 12th of 32 and above its own 2025 rate, a week after ranking 31st, while its defense sent five or more rushers at the 25th-highest rate yet contested 11 of Jacksonville's 29 throws, the highest share in Week 2 — and opponents have now sent five or more at Bo Nix well above 2025's rate two weeks running.

The charting from Kansas City says Denver used motion on 26.5% of charted plays, 31st of 32 offenses in Week 1 and down from 37% across 2025, with play-action, run-pass options and no-huddle all thinner too, while Bo Nix's ball charting sat close to his 2025 figures. On defense, the Chiefs' designed runs met seven or more in the box 19 times in 31 and went for 197 yards, and Denver sent five or more rushers at the third-highest rate in the league.

Miami claimed tight end Justin Joly — a pick Denver's front office had said it expected to clear — and cornerback Reese Taylor. Denver claimed no one and signed no one to the 53; the week's only inbound moves were seventeen practice-squad deals, four of them vested veterans, including the long snapper the roster still does not carry. Jarrett Stidham is the second quarterback, and Jonathon Cooper's not-guilty plea brought a November trial calendar that lands in the bye.

The league placed outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper on the commissioner's exempt list on cut day, and Jonah Elliss steps into the starting job opposite Nik Bonitto. Sam Ehlinger threw three touchdowns in a 34-6 finale win over the Vikings and made the 53 as a third quarterback, per Mike Klis — a finale Bo Nix sat out after Sean Payton reversed the starters plan we told you about last week.

Bo Nix returned from his ankle fracture and scored on both of his drives, hitting 6-of-9 for 76 yards and a touchdown — with a 35-yard third-down strike to Jaylen Waddle in the receiver's Broncos debut. The rest of the night went Green Bay's way, 33-13, and Sean Payton answered by extending his starters into the third quarter of Friday's finale.

The Broncos routed the Falcons 27-7 in Davis Webb's play-calling debut, but the quarterback the whole projection rides on watched from the sideline. Jahdae Barron went 97 yards with a pick-six, Jarrett Stidham ran a clean half, and the real tests — Nix's debut and Waddle's return — both moved to next Friday.
