ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky: Why the Denver Broncos Will Win the AFC West This Season | The Rich Eisen Show

What are the games you’re looking forward to seeing the rest of week one? Obviously, tonight is going to be awesome just because I want to see if the Chiefs offense looks different. How’s that left side look with the new pieces on their offensive line? Can the Chargers play Kansas City tough? You know, how are they able to control the line of scrimmage? I think um you know, the Houston Rams game, what offensive line plays better? Both of those teams are ridiculously good on defense. have a little bit of question marks on their offensive line. What’s that to Devonte Adams look like? I want to see what Steelers offensively present. How good is the offensive line play? How good does Rogers look? How good does DK Medaf and his connection look? Um, can the Washington Commanders handle the Giants front or the do the Giants shock everybody? Because then that throws a whole another conversation piece in to it. Um, I think Atlanta Carolina’s intriguing because we don’t know a lot about Atlanta, you know, like we don’t just don’t know much about Michael Penn or those two pass rushers Atlanta took in the first round. So, um, I think week one’s going to be awesome. So, uh, give me a team that you are think is going to surprise. We’re not talking about him enough going into week one and that we might actually see some results that are indicative of a better season this weekend. Dan. Yeah, I I would say the Broncos, but I think a lot of people are are already talking about the Broncos. Um I’ve picked them to win the division. A team that I’ll mention, the Falcons. Um I just think Atlanta’s roster is really good. I think offensive linewise, really good unit. I I I believe that skill position group with Bejian Robinson and Drake London. There’s more in Kyle Pittz, Michael Pennix and his just physical talent to throw the ball downfield. I’ve heard that those two pass rushers, Pierce specifically, has been outstanding in camp. And so they’re a team in a roster that I I still think um if those picks are what they should be, they’re scarier than people are nationally talking about. Now, I believed in them last year as well. I just thought Kirk would play well. Obviously, that didn’t go good. I just think roster-wise there’s a lot of individual talent. I like Raheem. So, I’ll say the Atlanta Falcons. All right. So, you’re saying, let me just pick up on the first thing you said, Dan Orlosski, that the winner of the AFC West in the 2025 National Football League season is not going to be in this building in Brazil tonight. It’s the one that’s getting ready for the Tennessee Titans in their home building on Sunday. You think the Broncos win the division? I do. I think the Broncos win the division. I think it’s the best combination of offensive and defensive line groups in the AFC. They’re they’re so deep on the defensive line. I think they’ll be top five at both units. Uh defensive player of the year. They got a head coach who’s won the Super Bowl. Um, I think that he’s got a great understanding of who Bo Nicks is and how Bo likes to play. I believe the addition of Evan Ingram gives them a yards after the catch guy. I think Franklin, their second year receiver out of Oregon, is going to take a big step forward. And I’m a B Knicks guy. I really believe that he plays this season the way we saw in the second half of last year. And Rich, I’m just telling that defense is is a in the conversation for the best defense in football. Hey, you made it all the way to the end. Thanks for that. Check us out every single day streaming live on Disney Plus and the ESPN app 12 to 3 Eastern.

  4. These people picking the broncos to win the division are basically saying they are going to go from 3rd place to 1st without any real evidence. They just think bo nix is him when he is the 4th best qb in the division and that bronco defense didn't do squat against good teams last year.
