The first blunder bowl of 2023 is upon us, and it features none other than the Chicago Bears and Denver Broncos in a matchup that will determine who’s season is truly over for the loser and who’s season is just probably over for the winner. Both Chicago and Denver are sporting winless records despite each having high hopes entering the season.
The Bears were set to take the next step in their rebuild led by Justin Fields, but have been plagued by no offensive rhythm and a soft defense. The Broncos, meanwhile, traded for head coach Sean Payton to help clean up last year’s mess and get the most out of Russell Wilson, but their problems have been on defense after they were gashed the last two weeks, surrendering 105 points in total.
Despite their record and embarrassing performances as of late, the Broncos still have players that could be a nuisance for the Bears to match up against. Here are five players from Denver we’ll be watching on Sunday.
