The Denver Broncos have found themselves toward the bottom of the NFL in almost every measurable category. With their latest loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the team finds themselves among the worst in the league when talking about playoff chances.
Sean Payton was brought in to turn things around, to bring back the winning way to Denver and that just simply hasn't happened. While injuries have played their part, in some instances the team has just given up in games this season.
You'd think that losing by 50 to the Dolphins would be a low point for the team, but a slew of losses afterward makes it so that's just the icing on the cake for the team. While Russell Wilson has been playing better, the team just cannot find a way to win.
To add insult to injury, let's take a brief look at the Broncos playoff chances. Fair warning, it's ugly.
While it's unclear if their playoff chances are at true zero, or if it's 0.000001%, things aren't looking good for an organization that's spent a king's ransom on their QB and head coach, hoping for major changes across the board.
But this is the worst part: The Broncos' odds were already so low entering Week 6 that a divisional loss to the Kansas City Chiefs moved their playoff chances by 0%. In other words, the loss didn't even matter because their odds were already terribly low.
The only real positive we can take from this graph is, that at least they aren't the Arizona Cardinals, who is the only team below the Broncos. Meaning, the Broncos don't have the worst chances in the entire league to make the playoffs, just almost the worst.
The team is entering Week 7 of the NFL season and will need a borderline miracle to turn things around to have a winning season, let alone make a playoff push. While Payton has a long history of success in the NFL, this just may be too insurmountable to overcome.
It's not been fun nor easy to be a part of Broncos' country as we're only a few weeks into the season and there have been rumors of a fire sale or a potential top 3 pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Not what fans had expected or hoped for heading into the season.
Another brutal loss and the team could be looking to make sweeping changes across the board, and it wouldn't just be players on their way out. No one is safe at this point,
Latest trade could signal the start of Broncos’ fire sale
The Denver Broncos appear to be open for business ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline.
