  "account": "Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky, currently an ESPN analyst, recently made a bold claim on The Pat McAfee Show, stating that the Denver Broncos are the best team in the AFC and should be favored to reach the Super Bowl. Orlovsky cited Denver's improved roster, including new signings, the addition of Jaylen Waddle, and the return of a strong third-year quarterback. He also praised the team's offensive line, perimeter players, and vertical receiver, emphasizing that the defense is \"suffocating\" under the guidance of coach Sean Payton. Orlovsky's comments echo previous statements he made on ESPN's Get Up program, where he highlighted Denver as an underrated team in the AFC.",
