The Denver Broncos have looked like a much more competent team in recent weeks as they’ve won their past three games.
Denver’s defense has done the bulk of the work, shutting down opposing offenses and giving the team a chance to hang around in games.
On offense, rookie quarterback Bo Nix has had his ups and downs but is doing enough to make the Broncos competitive each week.
Head coach Sean Payton may not be getting quite what he wants from the roster, but he certainly can’t complain about the results as of late.
There’s a lot of work to be done offensively, particularly through the air, but it looks like Denver is on the upswing midway through the 2024 NFL season.
Unfortunately, passing game specialist Zack Grossi recently announced he is dealing with cancer and issued a statement via the team’s X account.
“As I begin my fight against cancer, I’ve found peace in knowing that I’m not alone,” Grossi said.
We’re fully supporting Passing Game Specialist Zack Grossi as he starts treatment for a recent cancer diagnosis.

Payton used social media to offer his support.
“Our unwavering support is with Zack and his family as he takes some time away to focus on his health. … We’ll be with him every step of the way,” Payton said.

It’s sad to hear that Grossi will be going through this, but it’s great to see Payton and the rest of the organization standing by him through this tough time.
Football comes second when it comes to people’s lives, so hopefully Grossi is able to get through this and can return to the team at some point.
