Broncos have planned to challenge the chiefs after the off -season movements Originally appeared on Sports Athlon.
The Chiefs of Kansas City, Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens have dominated AFC in recent years. You will almost always see these teams in the playoffs, the AFC championship or the Super Bowl, in the case of chiefs. These teams will always be important in the League, but the question is who will challenge them and try to claim a place at the top?

This is a question that Jeffri Chadiha de NFL.com asked in one of his recent articles. His answer was clear and calculated; He thinks that Denver Broncos are the biggest threat to the best AFC teams this season. He said the largest difference in difference between them and teams like the Houston Texans and the Los Angeles Loaders is their exceptional defense.
He mentions that the defense of the Broncos was one of the best in the league last year, ranking first in the bags and third of the authorized points. He then explains how Denver may have the best defensive line trio in the Zach Allen League, Jonathan Cooper and Nick Bonitto, and they had an exceptional corner duo of the defensive player of the year Patrick Surain and Riley Moss. All of these players come back and mention that they have also made a lot of additions to La Défense.
They added the second Dre Greenlaw, the security Talanoa Hufanga and drafted Jahdae Barron with their first -round choice. This will make an already talented unit even more frightening, and Chadiha even said that this group had the potential to be the best defense of the League. The identity of the broncos can be their defense, but it also mentions the importance of improving the offense.

He first mentions the importance of BO Nix in his second season, with a year in the Sean Payton offensive. He has already had an impressive recruit season, and he should only improve this year. It is above all to do with the hard work he has done, but it is also because of the weapons that Denver also brought.

The Broncos finally added a receiving threat to the tight room by signing Evan Engram. This is a massive upgrade of the tight end unit last season. They also signed JK Dobbins recently and they wrote RJ Harvey in the second round of the draft. They also wrote the Illinois Large Pat Bryant recipient in the third round, and they signed Trent Sherfield Sr. to add help to the team as well.
Bo Nix will be loaded with many more weapons to work than last year, and hopefully, a much stronger race game. Chadiha’s concern was mentioned was that the Broncos brought in many players with injury history. However, they are all talented, and if they can remain healthy, it will be a team that no one wants to see in the playoffs.
The Broncos are launching their season against Tennessee Titans on September 7, and it will be their first chance to show that they are ready to compete for the Super Bowl this season. Until then, they will have to make sure they have an excellent training camp and a pre-season to prepare this year. If everything is going well, they could seek to make their first appearance in the AFC championship since 2016.
