The Denver Broncos may still be viewed as an underdog by parts of the national media, but one of the most respected voices in football is clearly buying in. 

Legendary coach Bill Belichick delivered high praise for Denver’s postseason chances during an appearance with Jim Gray on the Let’s Go show. 

He called the Broncos, along with the Seattle Seahawks, “definitely the two teams to beat” in the playoffs. 

“When you look at Denver and Seattle, those are two good football teams that are very well balanced,” Belichick said. 

“Denver’s been incredible with the number of close games they’ve won.” 

If anyone knows playoff football and what it takes to win in January and February, it is Belichick. 

“They’re both very good defensive teams, which I think is always an advantage when you play in the playoffs and play at home, and play outside.” 

His endorsement is definitely a positive sign, especially coming from someone who rarely offers public praise without significant reason.

Belichick Among First National Voices to Fully Buy Into Denver

Denver has continued to prove time and time again on the field that they are one of the best teams in football. 

But Belichick stands out as one of the first high-profile voices to treat the Broncos like a real Super Bowl team. 

The Broncos have consistently found ways to win close games as they tied the NFL single-season record for most one-score wins.

Denver went a remarkable 11-2 in one-score games. 

Their defense has been amongst the league’s best as they were top 11 in the eight statistical defensive categories. 

The Broncos were the No. 3 ranked scoring defense in the NFL, only averaging 18.3 points per game. 

They led the NFL in opponents yards per game, averaging just 278.2 and opponents yards per play with just 4.5. 

Bo Nix has been one of the cutest quarterbacks in the NFL, leading the league with seven game-winning drives. 

This is a team built to handle playoff football and Belichick agrees 


Sean Payton Makes History Alongside Belichick

Denver’s amazing 2025 season has placed Sean Payton alongside Bill Belichick in rare historical company. 

Payton became just the second head coach in NFL history to record five different 13-win seasons.

This was a milestone previously achieved only by Belichick. 

What makes the accomplishment more notable is the path Payton took to reach it. 

Four of those 13-win seasons came in New Orleans, but this one arrived in Denver after a major rebuild. 

Just three years ago, the Broncos only won five games. 

They are now 14-3, have the AFC’S No. 1 seed and are one of the Super Bowl favorites. 

He has transformed the Broncos from a struggling franchise into a legitimate contender in just three seasons. 

The consistency across eras, rosters, and conferences shows the impact of Payton’s system and leadership, putting himself alongside one of the all time greats. 

That all time great has shown real belief in the Broncos as they head into the playoffs.

Colts Superstar Jonathan Taylor Rescues a Lost Dog in Freezing, Hungry Condition — Without Hesitation, Taylor Gives Up His Most Meaningful Item to Save a Life
In the NFL, Jonathan Taylor is known for power, balance, and relentless effort — the kind of superstar who carries the Indianapolis Colts offense when the moment demands it. But earlier this week, far from the stadium lights and the noise of game day, Taylor showed a different kind of greatness — one defined by instinct, empathy, and humanity. According to local accounts, Taylor was on his way home late at night when he noticed a small dog wandering along the roadside in bitter cold conditions. The animal was visibly shaking, weak, and clearly hungry — signs it had been exposed to the elements for far too long. There were no cameras, no fans nearby, and no expectation that anyone would ever find out. Taylor didn’t hesitate. He pulled over immediately, approached the dog carefully, and focused on protecting it from the cold. In that moment, he didn’t weigh sentimental value or personal attachment. He didn’t pause to consider what the item he carried meant to him. The decision was simple: protect a life that needed help. Those close to Taylor say the response was entirely in character. Known throughout the Colts organization for his discipline and quiet professionalism, he has long believed that responsibility doesn’t end when the clock hits zero. In Indiana winters, exposure can quickly become dangerous — especially for an abandoned animal — and Taylor understood the urgency instantly. When asked briefly about the incident afterward, Taylor brushed aside the attention and offered a reflection that resonated deeply with fans across Colts Nation:“There are things that mean a lot to me, but at the end of the day, it’s just an object. When you’re standing in front of a life that needs protection, everything else stops mattering.” He didn’t elaborate. He didn’t explain details. And he didn’t need to. The dog was soon brought to safety, given food and warmth, and placed in the care of local animal services. The most important outcome was clear — it survived a night that could have ended very differently without Taylor’s intervention. Word of the moment spread quickly among Colts fans, not because Taylor sought recognition, but because the story felt authentic. There were no debates about rushing totals or contract numbers. Instead, people shared something more meaningful — a reminder that character often reveals itself when no one is watching. For Indianapolis, Jonathan Taylor represents more than explosive runs and highlight plays. He represents consistency, accountability, and trust — values the franchise continues to build around. Moments like this don’t show up on stat sheets, but they matter deeply. They strengthen connection. They reflect leadership in its purest form. In a league defined by pressure, scrutiny, and constant evaluation, it’s easy to forget that the most powerful actions often happen quietly. This wasn’t about optics or headlines. It was instinct — choosing compassion over convenience. Jonathan Taylor will always be measured by what he produces on Sundays. But on that cold night, on a quiet road, he was measured by something else entirely. And for one small life, that choice made all the difference.
