Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos' five-game winning streak abruptly ended with a 22-17 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. The defeat significantly decreased their playoff chances, as they now sit at 6-6 on the season with a 3-5 record against AFC opponents. Pat Surtain III, a 23-year-old cornerback who has established himself as an elite athlete while with the Broncos, has expressed a desire to contribute offensively as well. However, team management has elected to abstain from deploying him on offense or as a kick returner to protect his health. Denver is ranked 13th in offense, 29th in defense, and 26th overall, with an average of 22.36 points scored and 25.45 points allowed per game and a record of 6-6 (4-7-1 against the spread).
