Land a star quarterback, land a championship?
The highest passer rating in 2015 and a passing touchdown crown Now, the Broncos are betting that the 33-year-old Wilson can use his talents to rack up even more individual accolades while turning them into a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
However, Broncos brass has long looked at the roster — featuring a talented young defense and a burgeoning collection of explosive offensive weapons — and held the belief that all they needed was a game-changing quarterback. Many within the NFL believe the former. The Broncos definitely have pieces to work with. That defense is only going to continue to get better as the young pieces continue to develop. There’s real talent on offense, both at receiver and running back.
Rising to the top of the division will prove challenging, especially given the franchise's 13-game losing streak in the rivalry to Kansas City. But, now the Broncos have that key piece — piece — that all championship teams have: an All-Pro-caliber quarterback with plenty left in the tank. Now, they have the arm to engage Mahomes and Herbert in a shootout.
