Broncos Believe They're Among Elite AFC Teams This Year, Eric Decker Reveals
The Denver Broncos have been making waves in the NFL this season, with an impressive 6-2 record and a top-three finish in the AFC. According to Eric Decker, a former receiver who helped lead the team to Super Bowl XLVIII, they're not just a flash in the pan – he believes they've got a limitless ceiling this year.
Decker's confidence is rooted in both talent and performance. While the Indianapolis Colts have been record-wise the best team so far this season, Denver's depth and ability to stay healthy will ultimately determine their success. The Broncos' young quarterback Bo Nix has made significant strides since his rookie season, boasting a sack rate of just 2.73% – the lowest in the NFL.
Denver's impressive wins over the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants showcased their comeback prowess and ability to beat top opponents. However, Decker acknowledges that the Kansas City Chiefs remain a force to be reckoned with, despite being behind Denver in the division standings. The Chiefs have been on a roll lately, winning three straight games against formidable foes.
The Broncos' path forward will be tested when they face off against a healthy Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs team in Week 11. With their first matchup scheduled for that game, Decker believes it's crucial for Denver to prove themselves as the true AFC West favorites by coming out on top.
In the eyes of Decker, other teams like Buffalo and Indianapolis are also worth considering, but he remains convinced that Denver is right up there among the elite AFC teams. With a strong team dynamic and an exciting young quarterback, the Broncos' prospects look bright this year. As Decker himself says, "I'm excited" about their chances to make a deep playoff run.
In fact, Decker is so passionate about his former team that he's partnering with Gillette and Movember to spread awareness about prostate cancer during November's Movember month. This initiative not only shines a light on men's health but also raises funds for the fight against this devastating disease.
