The Denver Broncos are 8-5 coming out of their bye and in position to make the NFL playoffs. Before the team returns to action this weekend, here’s a quick look back at 10 takeaways from Denver’s first 13 games of the 2024 NFL season.

The return of Anthony Richardson to the starting lineup has provided the Indianapolis Colts offense and team with a spark. However, that unit will face a difficult test against a stingy Denver defense.
