It’s been ugly, but the Broncos survived brutal 6-game stretch with 4-2 record

The Denver Broncos' remaining schedule, on paper, is much easier than their first six games.

The Denver Broncos endured a challenging six-week stretch in the 2026 NFL season, but they managed to secure a 4-2 record, placing them strongly in the AFC playoff race. The team faced formidable opponents from the NFC West, including the Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, and Kansas City Chiefs. Despite a Week 1 loss to Kansas City, the Broncos bounced back with victories against Jacksonville, the Rams, and the Chargers, followed by a win against Seattle.

Offensive lineman Mike McGlinchey emphasized that facing such tough competition was expected and crucial for the growth of the league. Quarterback Bo Nix acknowledged that the struggles stemmed from the challenging schedule, but he attributed the team's 4-2 record to their collective effort. Running back J.K. Dobbins simply expressed his joy at the team's winning performance.

Coach Sean Payton, while acknowledging the record's precarious nature, highlighted the significance of hard-fought wins, stating that the team can continue to improve and prepare for their upcoming match against the Arizona Cardinals.
