The Denver Broncos appear poised to become a serious contender in the AFC West, potentially challenging the dominance of the Kansas City Chiefs. Many believe Denver should have swept the Chiefs during the 2024 season, particularly given their strong showing in Week 10. Unlike past years, the Broncos are no longer being easily defeated by Kansas City, having won two of their last three meetings.
This offseason, Denver significantly upgraded its roster, possibly outpacing the Chiefs in terms of talent acquisition. With the Chiefs unlikely to replicate their perfect record in one-score games from 2024, the race for the division title could be extremely tight. There’s growing belief that the Broncos are now on nearly equal footing with the reigning champs.
According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Denver is currently ranked second in the AFC West, ahead of the Los Angeles Chargers, who finished 11-6 last season. This suggests a major shift in the division’s balance of power. The AFC West is shaping up to be a competitive three-team race in 2025, with the Las Vegas Raiders also showing potential to shake things up.
The Broncos seem to have entered a new chapter, leaving behind the struggles of previous seasons. With a revamped roster and growing momentum, they are not only seen as contenders for the division title but are also emerging as potential Super Bowl challengers. The big question now is whether Denver can defy expectations, win the AFC West for the first time since their 2015 Super Bowl-winning season, and make a deep playoff run. The 2025 NFL season could mark a turning point for the Broncos and possibly shake up the league’s power structure.
