Broncos have proven they can rebound after slow starts

The Denver Broncos, under head coach Sean Payton, have demonstrated their ability to overcome poor starts to the season. After losing their Week 1 match to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Broncos bounced back with a victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This result raised the team's September record to 2-8 under Payton's tenure in 2024, a stretch that has been marked by slow starts.

However, Payton's record during other months of the year paints a different picture, with a 30-12 win-loss record in all other months and weeks. This track record has secured the Broncos playoff berths and championship expectations in their fourth season under Payton's leadership.

Zach Allen, All-Pro defensive line, commented on the team's resilience after their September slow start. He noted that the Broncos' ability to overcome such starts has been a recurring theme over the past three years. Allen went on to stress that the team cannot afford any further slow starts or lapses, especially as they gear up for a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football.

The Broncos' success in overcoming initial setbacks is a testament to their strength and resilience, despite the challenges posed by their performance in the initial weeks of the season.
