The Broncos were able to finish the season on a high note by beating the Raiders on Sunday. The win was ugly, but it was a win nonetheless by a score of 16-15 at Empower Field at Mile High. The victory meant the Broncos have gone 4-1 with rookie quarterback Drew Lock as their starter.
Denver is not going to the postseason, but it feels like that could be in the near future for the team, starting as soon as 2020. With the win over the Raiders, the Broncos actually finish second in the AFC West with a 7-9 record.
I like where this team is heading in the future. They are young and talented, so they have a lot of growing and development they’ll be able to do together. Add in another quality draft class and some good players in free agency, and this team could contend with the best of them.
