Weeks 9-12

44. Final. 27. 45. 37

A completely healthy Atlanta Falcons offense now featuring a healthy Todd Gurley should be a frightening proposition for the rest of the NFL. They simply have too many weapons for Denver to contain, and Lock and Company cannot keep pace. Atlanta moves the ball at will, spreading the ball all around the field; and, while Denver moves the ball, they are unable to do enough to win.

23. 28. Final. 19. 45

Two AFC West franchises made the same decision this offseason: the quarterback is good enough and just needs better weapons to succeed. So, two teams with upgraded speed and talent on offense face off. Maybe Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay pay off as tiebreakers for Denver, but in this one, a consistent Josh Jacobs makes a difference.

13. 18. 45. Final. 16

Two defenses at the top of their games meet and feature offenses that are suspect, to say the least. The Chargers feature a more complete, and overall better defense. Meanwhile, the Broncos feature a more complete, and better offense. In this one, the Denver offense does just enough to get the job done.

15. 19. 45. Final. 23

Denver has to feel good about keeping this one close and holding the Saints offense to only 23 points. New Orleans boasts one of the most complete teams in the NFL and should be Super Bowl contenders at the end of the 2020 season. Denver gives this one a mighty defensive effort but in the end, the Saints defense is good enough to keep Denver from closing it out.
