Broncos roundtable: With a run of subpar pass defenses coming up, what’s Sean Payton to do on offense?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:35:54 GMT

Parker Gabriel, Broncos beat reporter: Welcome back to the roundtable, dudes. Improbably, the Denver Broncos Football Club finally lost a game. Pretty impressive to reel off five straight and go from Oct. 12 to Dec. 3 without taking an ‘L.’ Now Sean Payton’s team has to win four of its final five to have a real chance at making the postseason.Here’s an interesting conundrum — or opportunity, depending on how you look at it. Four of the Broncos’ final five games feature opponents that currently rank in the bottom 12 of the league in pass defense efficiency. So, too, were the Texans. Denver still ended up running the ball 30 times against Houston, though some of that was due to called passes that quarterback Russell Wilson turned into rush attempts. Even still, you could sense the way in which Payton and the Denver offense wanted to attack down the field given Houston’s vulnerabilities on the back end. The big plays in the passing game returne...

The cost of single-family homes is still at an astounding mid-point price of $625,000. That price point is simply unsustainable for hard-working Coloradans.Colorado needs more condos for sale on the market.Multi-unit for-sale homes are a critical piece of the state’s affordability puzzle – often selling for significantly less per square foot than single-family homes or townhouses. Land has become so valuable in Colorado that anything less than multi-unit construction is a luxury. The mid-point price for metro Denver condos in October was $418,000.But construction of condos has long lagged behind in this state. According to a new white paper put out by the Common Sense Institute, a conservative-leaning think-tank, only 515 building permits for condominium projects were pulled last year.

At issue is whether...
