All things considered, the 2025 NFL Season was a massive success, but it comes with a giant asterisk. The Broncos earned the AFC West title, tied the franchise record with 14 wins, and also earned the top seed in the conference. This ended up being the best season since 2015.
Denver beat the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round but lost Bo Nix to the broken ankle in the overtime period. The Broncos put up a good fight against the New England Patriots in the AFC title game but fell short, and it's abundantly clear that the Broncos win that game if Bo Nix is in the lineup.
