The Denver Broncos are absolutely fantastic as a shot at another Super Bowl ring

On By Littum

The Denver Broncos are eliminated from the postseason, but they could see one of their all-time greats compete for his third Super Bowl ring. Von Miller was traded from the Broncos to the Los Angeles Rams back in the 2021 NFL season and was able to stick with the super team and win the Super Bowl over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Since then, Miller has been on the Buffalo Bills in a more rotating role, and for the first time since the 2021 NFC Championship Game, Von Miller is back in a conference championship game. The Buffalo Bills took down the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Divisional Round, leaving them needing to beat the Kansas City Chiefs for a trip to the Super Bowl.

Broncos’ great Von Miller is still at it

I think it could speak for many Broncos’ fans when I say that most of Broncos Country is probably rooting for Von Miller and Buffalo Bills over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. That seems like a safe bet to me. The one thing that could play in the Buffalo Bills’ favor is that the Chiefs don’t have great play from their tackles.

Buffalo’s outside pass rushers could party and force Patrick Mahomes into the pocket, who could then help the inside rushers get home. We’ve seen Mahomes get sacked the most in his NFL career. He’s been beaten up behind this poor offensive line, which lacks stability at both tackle positions.

And the Denver Broncos played quite well against the Kansas City Chiefs back in Week 10, so you also have to wonder if the Bills would look at film from that game. A few weeks ago the Bills and Chiefs played each other in Buffalo and the Bills won.

In truth, top to bottom, the Bills are the better team, but as we’ve seen, the Chiefs are simply a different animal in the postseason. The Chiefs have won two consecutive Super Bowls and have not lost a playoff game in year.

And Buffalo hasn’t made a Super Bowl yet in the Josh Allen era. They fell to the Kansas City Chiefs back in the 2020 AFC Championship Game. We’ll see if Broncos all-around great Von Miller can make a significant impact in this game, which could very well be one of the last games of his Hall of Fame career.
