Bruce Haertl and Troy Renck are in for Hot Takes. Quick recap of Thursday Night Football and the Avs loss to the Islanders. Without a dominant team in the AFC, could the Broncos path to the top be any cleaner? With the possibility that Mahomes and Lamar Jackson may not even make it. Herbert is injured in LA—and Daniel Jones is playing on a fractured fibula. Is this just part of the ‘charmed life’ that the Broncos have been living all season? A look at the Broncos-Raiders matchup on Sunday. What are the guys most interested in seeing? Is Bo Nix starting to find his rhythm? Who is the AFC team that the Broncos want to avoid seeing in the postseason? Or is there even one? Bruce and Troy give their thoughts on Colorado St. hiring Jim Mora as their next head football coach. Catch a Friday edition of Hot Takes!
