The Denver Broncos have started the season in an early hole, beginning 1-2, losing both games by a combined four points. The Broncos will look to get back to 2-2, much the same way they began the season in 2024, when they host the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football in Week 4.

Although this isn’t a playoff race quite yet, Denver could use some assistance from other teams across the NFL to help Denver climb in the standings.

First of all, the Broncos need to beat Cincinnati to get back to 2-2.

In the Sunday morning window, the Los Angeles Chargers (3-0) face the New York Giants (0-3) in what marks the debut of Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Root for the Giants to win against a fellow AFC West foe.

In the Sunday afternoon window, Broncos Country should keep an eye on three key matchups:

Indianapolis Colts vs. Los Angeles Rams: The Broncos lost the head-to-head matchup against the Colts in Week 2. In order to maintain pace in a potential playoff push, root for the Rams to beat Indianapolis.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. San Francisco 49ers: The Jaguars have a lot of talent on their squad this year, and have proven to be a playoff-caliber team at their peak. The Broncos face Jacksonville in Week 16. In order for Denver to keep in wild card position, root for the 49ers.

Another game Broncos Country should watch is the Las Vegas Raiders vs. Chicago Bears. If Vegas and Los Angeles lose, it strengthens Denver’s position near the top of the AFC West. Root for the Bears on Sunday.
