Broncos Predicted to Challenge Chiefs After Offseason Moves
Broncos Predicted to Challenge Chiefs After Offseason Moves originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and Baltimore Ravens have dominated the AFC for the past few years. You will almost always see these teams in the playoffs, the AFC Championship, or the Super Bowl, in the Chiefs' case. These teams are still going to be prominent in the league, but the question is, who is going to challenge them and try to claim a spot at the top? Advertisement That is a question that Jeffri Chadiha of asked in one of his recent articles. His answer was clear and calculated; he believes that the Denver Broncos pose the biggest threat to the top teams of the AFC this season. He said the biggest difference maker between them and teams like the Houston Texans and the Los Angeles Chargers is their outstanding defense. He mentions that the Broncos' defense was one of the best in the league last year, ranking first in sacks and third in points allowed. He then goes on to explain how Denver has maybe the best defensive line trio in the league of Zach Allen, Jonathan Cooper, and Nick Bonitto, and they had an outstanding cornerback duo of defensive player of the year Patrick Surtain and Riley Moss. All those players are returning, and he mentions that they made a lot of additions to the defense as well. They added linebacker Dre Greenlaw, safety Talanoa Hufanga, and drafted Jahdae Barron with their first-round pick. This is going to make an already talented unit even scarier, and Chadiha even said that this group has the potential to be the best defense in the league. The identity for the Broncos may be their defense, but he also mentions how important the improvement of the offense is going to be.

Downing-Imagn Images He first mentions how important Bo Nix is in his second season, with a year in Sean Payton's offense is going to be. He already had an impressive rookie season, and he should only get better this year. It mostly has to do with the hard work he has been putting in, but it also is because of the weapons Denver has brought in as well. Advertisement The Broncos finally added a receiving threat in the tight end room by signing Evan Engram. This is a massive upgrade from the tight end unit last season. They also signed J.K. Dobbins recently, and they drafted RJ Harvey in the second round of the draft. They also drafted wide receiver Pat Bryant out of Illinois in the third round, and they signed Trent Sherfield Sr. to add some receiving help to the team as well. Bo Nix will be loaded with a lot more weapons to work with than last year, and hopefully, a lot stronger run game. It was mentioned that Chadiha's only concern was that the Broncos brought in a lot of players with injury histories. However, they are all talented, and if they can stay healthy, this is going to be a team no one wants to see in the playoffs. The Broncos kick off their season against the Tennessee Titans on September 7th, and that will be their first chance to show that they are ready to compete for the Super Bowl this season. Until then, they will have to make sure they have a great training camp and preseason to prepare for this year. If all goes well, they could be looking to make their first AFC Championship appearance since 2016.

Tom Coughlin: NFL acknowledges Jaguars' Myles Jack wasn't down in AFC Championship game
We all knew that Jacksonville Jaguars' linebacker Myles Jack wasn't down on the fumble that he forced and then recovered in the fourth quarter of the 2017 AFC Championship game against New England. Well, the NFL has apparently acknowledged that as well, although that obviously doesn't change the outcome of the game. Advertisement Let's rewind. The Jaguars were up 20-10 early in the fourth quarter of that game. The Patriots were just shy of midfield, and in an effort to drum up some offense, they dialed up a double-pass to Dion Lewis, who was picking up some chunk yardage on the play. But from behind came Jack, who forced the fumble, recovered it, and began running towards the Jaguars' end zone with a very clear path to six points. However, the refs blew the play dead, saying that Jack was down upon recovering the fumble. The Patriots' defense would go on to get a stop, rally from their 10-point deficit, and ultimately win the game, securing another Super Bowl berth. Now, back to today, Tom Coughlin was making a recent appearance on 1010XL with Dan Hicken and said that the NFL acknowledged that they got the call wrong. Advertisement "How you keep quiet over that one?" said Coughlin. "And I got the compulsory letter which said, we're so sorry. My response to the league was, 'do you realize what that would have meant to this town, this city, if that had been properly officiated?' Because the ball is in the end zone, right? There's nobody there left, and they get the ball, Brady takes it down, and like he's done so many times." That loss was the beginning of the end for Sacksonville. The Jaguars would go 5-11 in 2018 as numerous key players from that defense ended up elsewhere over the next few years.
