After going 7-9 last season, the Broncos will look to reach double-digit wins in 2020 and return to the playoffs for the first time since the 2015 season. At least one member of the national media — Colin Cowherd of Fox Sports — believes Denver will make a big jump next season.
“They won four of their last five games,” Cowherd pointed out in his way-too-early 2020 NFL power rankings. “I think they found their quarterback in Drew Lock . . . he’s just a puppy. Their defense was [in the] top 10 last year.
“So, I think they got the quarterback. [It’s] the second year in Vic Fangio’s system. Bradley Chubb — who never gets hurt — got hurt, so Von Miller and Bradley Chubb are still top two or three [edge defenders], great duo.”
Cowherd noted that he believes Denver will be the surprise team of the league, predicting that they will win 11 games during the 2020 NFL season. The last time the Broncos won that many games was 2015 (12 wins).
