The Mile High Test: Packers vs Broncos Preview


Listen Later

The Packers control their destiny — and now face their toughest challenge yet. This week we travel to Denver to take on the AFC’s #1 seed, the 11–2 Broncos, at altitude in one of the NFL’s most unique home-field environments.

In this episode, we break down:

  • Why playing at 5,280 feet drastically affects stamina, rotations, passing mechanics, and kicking

  • How Denver’s elite run defense creates impossible third downs — and how Green Bay’s 11-personnel + jumbo looks can attack their weak spots

  • What the film actually says about the Broncos pass rush vs. the sack numbers — and why Jordan Love can still win this matchup

  • How to gameplan around Patrick Surtain II and why Christian Watson may need more slot snaps

  • Which WRs the Packers should target (Riley Moss mismatch alert) and how Denver struggles defending the run out of nickel

  • Will Josh Jacobs be ready? How WR depth becomes critical in the altitude

  • Defending the Broncos: zone vs man, the Bo Nix tendencies, and how to force him into his worst throws

  • Why pressure + first-down run stops are the key to this entire game

  • The tells in Denver’s personnel groupings that the Packers must exploit

This is a true measuring-stick game — a chance to prove Green Bay belongs in the Super Bowl conversation. Let’s break down how the Packers can walk out of Mile High with a statement win.
