In the final part of John Elway’s interview with Broncos Wire, he talked about how Denver could hold off the competition and make it into the playoffs.
“If we can stay healthy and have that ball bounce our way, there’s no question they’re a playoff team,” Elway said during an interview with Broncos Wire about Dupuytren’s contracture and his treatment.
BW: Now, I just want to ask one more thing. As of today, Denver’s a playoff team. Do you think they’ll be able to able to hold off the other challengers like the Colts and the Bengals and reached the playoffs for the first time since you were with the team?
Elway: You know, I think that, yeah, I do. I think I think they’re starting to hit stride.
I think, obviously the disappointing loss in Kansas City (Week 10) just goes to show you that they can play; they’re two time defending world champions.
And so, in Kansas City to play the way (Denver) played, I think they’re continuing to get better and better each week, especially offensively and defensively. They’ve been great (on defense) all year.
So if they can, there’s so many variables, as you know, we got to stay healthy and if we can stay healthy and have that ball bounce our way, there’s no question that they’re a playoff team and and hopefully they continue to improve like they have.
John Elway spoke with Broncos Wire in a three-part interview this week. Elway discussed Dupuytren’s contracture in Part 1 and rookie quarterback Bo Nix in Part 2. Elway won three Super Bowls in Denver — two as a quarterback and a third as an executive. He stepped down from his role with the Broncos following the 2022 season.
