Even before the doors opened, the fake smoke told the real story. The Broncos are back. Get used to it.
Javonte Williams of the Denver Broncos runs as Kaden Elliss of the Atlanta Falcons misses a tackle during the second quarter at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2024. The Broncos locker room was wildly joyous late Sunday afternoon, shouts and laughter reverberating off the walls in Club Dub as the smoke machine, strobe lighting and music created quite the scene.
Williams leaned on Simmons — “It was a stalemate,” he admitted — and was joined by Lil’ Jordan Humphrey, Devaughn Vele, Quinn Meinerz, Ben Powers, Mike McGlinchey and Courtland Sutton. Did I miss anyone? The Broncos’ response to their season threatening to collapse was to plant the Falcons and their good friend Simmons into the turf. A Bronco for life, Simmons rallied his new teammates before kickoff by declaring, “I want to go to the postseason. That’s what this means. In front of their home crowd, ’ em.”
Even better, this attitude is becoming a defining characteristic. When an Atlanta Falcons defender refused to let go of Nix’s legs after a third-quarter pass, Garett Bolles shoved him and provided a head butt for good measure. He drew an unnecessary roughness penalty, but this is the price of doing business. Just like Williams’ run, it sends a message: Don’t Screw With Us.
“That is definitely not an overreaction,” ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano said. “It is something we are going to be talking about.”
