On today’s episode, we hand out our NFL awards ballots and dig into one of the messiest storylines of the season. MVP, Coach of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year, and Comeback Player of the Year — who actually deserves the hardware and why.

Then we get into it: did the Broncos break the Bills? If a “bad call” truly ended Buffalo’s season, why does Sean McDermott take the fall? From ownership comments to roster accountability, this feels like a deeper dysfunction problem — and it raises the real question: is Josh Allen’s Super Bowl window in Buffalo already closed? Two things can be true: Josh Allen is a great quarterback, and he hasn’t won when it matters most. Being likable shouldn’t exempt anyone from standards, criticism, or pressure.

We wrap with Broncos vs. Patriots predictions and keys to a Denver win. Getting JK Dobbins back matters more than people realize. Protect the football, let the defense dictate the game, and don’t ask Jarrett Stidham to be a hero. Mile High is unforgiving, the pressure is on New England, and Denver’s defense has all the momentum. Plus: can we finally celebrate the interception? Ja’Quan McMillian deserves his flowers.

The season-long storyline remains the same — doubt Denver, and Denver responds. Ugly wins, grit, and team football got them here, and nothing changes now. Just another game.
