The Broncos’ season ends one win short of the Super Bowl, and on After the Horn, Woody Paige, Ron Zappolo, and Tom Green break down exactly why. From Sean Payton’s handling of Jarrett Stidham and fourth-down decisions, to missed field goals, weather preparation failures, officiating mistakes, and roster shortcomings, the panel lays out a comprehensive responsibility list for the AFC Championship loss to New England.

The conversation expands to the larger idea of “championship windows,” arguing there is no future guarantee in the NFL — only now.

The show closes with a deep look at the Broncos’ offseason priorities, coaching staff uncertainty, free-agent spending power, and how Denver stacks up in an increasingly competitive AFC.
