Despite a six-year playoff drought, it feels like the Denver Broncos are a shoo-in to make the postseason after landing ex-Seahawk QB Russell Wilson.
But Wilson’s former teammate, K.J. Wright, isn’t buying into the hype. He says the team will finish last in the loaded AFC West and miss the postseason entirely.
“I have the Raiders [at No. 1] … the Chargers at No. 2. I got the Chiefs finishing third,” Wright said in an interview with USA TODAY’s Mackenzie Salmon.
“You got to look at it from a holistic standpoint — you got to look outside of the quarterbacks, what’s on the other side of the ball, what’s on defense. I believe the Broncos have some pieces, but I don’t know if it’s going to be enough to slow down these weapons in this division. It’s going to be tight, but only three are going to make it.”
