## Resource

ESPN’s Football Power Index is predicting a rough 7-10 season for the Denver Broncos, missing the playoffs and handing the AFC West title back to the Kansas City Chiefs — a stark contrast to last year’s Super Bowl hype. While simulations can be fun, they’re far from perfect, having missed key teams like the Colts and Cowboys. The Broncos’ brutal early schedule, facing all NFC West foes right out of the gate, could either break them or forge them into something tougher. With new talent like Jaylen Waddle and a hunger to prove the projections wrong, their Week 1 showdown against the Chiefs on Monday Night Football will be a defining moment. The real test? How they respond under pressure — because in football, grit always wins over algorithms. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
