Denver barely snuck by the Tennessee Titans in Week 1, while the Colts demolished the Miami Dolphins with a perfect game. This battle on Sunday could have playoff implications come winter.</p><p>The Broncos’ <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1966605002375356598" rel="noopener">injury report</a> against the Colts could be concerning.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-news-evan-engram-trending-playing-week-2-latest-update">Tight end Evan Engram will be active</a>. He will be a major weapon to Bo Nix and the offense once he gets settled with his new team. Linebacker Alex Singleton and defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers are also full practice participants and should be good to go for this Sunday as well.</p><p>Star linebacker Dre Greenlaw is out once again. The former San Francisco 49er did not play against the Titans in Week 1 and will eventually make his debut with the team. It could be next week against the Los Angeles Chargers in their first AFC West matchup of the season. Tight end Nate Adkins is also out against the Colts.</p><p>Some believed QB <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-news-bo-nix-hit-with-awful-label-after-preseason-buzz">Bo Nix was awful against the Titans</a> in Week 1. You could make an argument that every single game he played as a rookie was better than the one he played last Sunday. However, he has a very long career ahead of him. The future is bright, especially with head coach Sean Payton around. The Broncos turned the ball over four times and still won, and did not allow the Titans to score a touchdown.</p><p>Ugly wins are not pretty, but you will always take an ugly win in Week 1. You can build from it. Many teams struggle early in the season, but seeing a W in the win column is what matters.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Often, the following week produces very different results with less time to prepare.</p><p>Fans of both teams are probably asking whether last week was a fluke. The Broncos, including second-year quarterback Bo Nix, looked sluggish and out of sync offensively. They kept the Titans in the game far longer than they should have, and if not for their strong defense, the result might have been different with No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward threatening a comeback.</p><p>The Colts, meanwhile, dominated in all facets. Daniel Jones, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/indianapolis-colts/3-under-the-radar-plays-that-proved-daniel-jones-was-the-colts-qb1">Indianapolis’ new QB1</a>, looked like a new quarterback in his new digs. It was about as strong an opening performance as Indianapolis could have hoped for, particularly at the quarterback position, which was a major question mark entering the season.</p><p>Whatever the case, one team will be leaving Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday with its first loss of the season. Here are four bold prediction for the AFC tilt.</p><h2><b>Colts fail to get takeaways, Bo Nix has bounce back game</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Denver-Broncos-QB-Bo-Nix.jpg"><figcaption>Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Everyone is still talking about what Indianapolis did to the Dolphins last week, flat-out embarrassing them. The Colts forced three turnovers, all coming from Tua Tagovailoa in Miami’s first five drives of the game.</p><p>Bo Nix, meanwhile, is coming off a sloppy performance of his own with three turnovers. Is it the start of a sophomore slump, or just one bad game? We’ll go with the latter, mainly because Nix has Sean Payton coaching him up. He knows he’s got to stay <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/preview/_/gameId/401772729" rel="noopener">turnover free</a> against the Colts.</p><p>“In the future maybe not be so aggressive, but at the same time that’s what makes us quarterbacks good,” Nix said. “It’s a fine line of being aggressive, but sometimes it just happens, and you just have to move on. I can definitely take a little bit more calculated attempts and that’s what I’ll attempt to do in the future.”</p><p>Could the Colts’ defense still be good? Possibly, but the Miami team they faced last week has plenty of red flags — with Tagovailoa being one of them. He’s long past being veteran, and while every quarterback has bad games, his performance looked like a veteran who may have taken a step back.</p><h2><b>Daniel Jones performs well but reminds Colts fans of Giants days</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Colts-news-Daniel-Jones-completely-aware-hes-not-the-QB-Colts-fans-wanted.jpg"><figcaption>Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The most surprising result from the Colts’ Week 1 performance was Daniel Jones. Jones has been heavily criticized since his time with the New York Giants, but in a new setting he looked like a completely different player.</p><p>Against the Dolphins, he completed 22-of-29 passes for 272 yards and one touchdown. He also ran for 26 yards and two more scores. Will that be the expectation every week? Shane Steichen and Colts fans are hoping so, but we’re still skeptical.</p><p>Much of what elevated Jones’ play last weekend stemmed from the Dolphins putting themselves in horrible situations and having to play from behind. While Nix could potentially do the same, as he did against the Titans, don’t count on the Broncos to give the Colts the same breaks.</p><p>Jones will do enough to keep his QB1 spot for another week, but he’ll also remind everyone why they still can’t fully trust him as a franchise quarterback. Plus, Denver’s defensive front is going to test the Colts’ new offensive line.</p><h2><b>J.K Dobbins makes it two consecutive weeks with a touchdown</b></h2><p>J.K. Dobbins had a solid start with his new team last weekend. While he fell just short of leading the team in rushing — finishing seven yards behind RJ Harvey (70) — he was the only back to score a touchdown. Dobbins also led the team in carries with 16. There’s no reason he won’t continue to get a steady workload against the Colts.</p><p>Sean Payton might still play it safe if he feels Bo Nix is struggling, but either way, expect Dobbins to score at least one touchdown on a goal-line run.</p><h2><b>Broncos cover spread, win by six points or more</b></h2><p>Maybe it was Daniel Jones’ impressive performance. Maybe it was Bo Nix’s lackluster outing. Or maybe it’s just the usual NFL tendency for close point spreads. Whatever the case, ESPN BET currently lists Sunday’s game with the Broncos <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401772729/broncos-colts" rel="noopener">favored by 1.5 points</a>. It’s one of three games with that exact spread.</p><p>Could this game really be that close? It’s hard to trust this Colts team after just one game, especially considering it came against the Dolphins — a team that could end up being among the worst in the league this season.</p><p>The Broncos are the more talented team and better coached, though they may be a bit overhyped heading into the year. Still, they’re the safer pick in this matchup.</p><p>This won’t quite be like last year’s 31-13 beatdown, but Denver makes it 2-0 on the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Broncos’ offensive coordinator pointed out one area that caused Nix’s Week 1 struggles.</p><p>It’s as simple as fundamentals, according to a post on X by Zac Stevens.</p><p>“Joe Lombardi pointed to Bo Nix’s footwork as a reason why he [was] inconsistent throwing the ball in Week 1”</p><p>“It’s mostly just timing and where your feet are at,” Lombardi said. “A couple of the interceptions were movement throws. I think it’s just getting your feet set in the right position.”</p><h2><b>Broncos QB Bo Nix looking for improvement</b></h2><p>Lombardi said Nix isn’t a true pocket-passing quarterback. So the team doesn’t want to limit his mobility.</p><p>“It’s always a challenge with a quarterback like him,” Lombardi said. “You don’t want him to just be a statue in there. When he moves, good things happen. Sometimes he moves and throws with his feet not perfectly set. Most of the time, he’s very accurate like that. I think if he misses, it’s usually his lower body.”</p><p>However, Broncos head coach Sean Payton said the <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46219615/broncos-sean-payton-takes-blame-turnovers-bo-nix" rel="noopener">blame doesn’t stand</a> at Nix’s doorstep, according to ESPN.</p><p>“I don’t know how many games I’ve called, but that’s one of those where I came away like, ‘Man, I’ve got to be a lot better,'” Payton said Wednesday. “… If you’re not careful, the game can be over and you’re on to the next game and you haven’t really … had the debrief properly. We’re really trying to pay attention to that.’</p><p>“If you looked at the down-and-distance, the hashmarks, some of the calls, from a timing standpoint, it’s more of some of the early plays, in the first half, Payton said. “And it’s cleaning up some of the details.”</p><p>Nix said he could have been better against the Titans. And he said the opponent doesn’t matter.</p><p>“It’s not about the stats, not about perfection, or things from the outside,” Nix said. “It’s about a standard that I have for myself. With our defense, we can definitely just make sure, at times, to give them great field position, and we’ll get the ball back. And we can keep going right back to work.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After being limited the previous day with a calf issue, Engram took part in every rep of the session, showing progress ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.</p><p>Engram’s <a href="https://x.com/Broncos/status/1966252649256305093" rel="noopener">status comes just days after</a> he exited Denver’s 20-12 win over the Tennessee Titans, in the first game of the season. The 30-year-old limped off in the fourth quarter after running a route, tossing his helmet in frustration before heading into the medical tent. He was later listed as questionable to return, leaving fans uneasy during what had otherwise been a solid debut. Engram finished his first game with the Broncos with three receptions for 21 yards on four targets while logging 26 offensive snaps.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Thursday's <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DENvsIND?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DENvsIND</a> injury report:</p><p>📰 » <a href="https://t.co/juckBfD8as">https://t.co/juckBfD8as</a> <a href="https://t.co/2HVvePPu9q">pic.twitter.com/2HVvePPu9q</a></p><p>— Denver Broncos (@Broncos) <a href="https://twitter.com/Broncos/status/1966252649256305093?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 11, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The sight of Engram sidelined in Week 1 sparked concern, given his history of calf injuries in 2019 and 2021. His return to the field this week suggests the current issue may be less severe. His ability to practice fully on Thursday is a strong sign that he could be available against Indianapolis.</p><p>Head coach Sean Payton did not directly address Engram’s availability but <a href="https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/broncos/2025/09/11/broncos-news-evan-engram-practiced-thursday/86092491007/" rel="noopener">spoke broadly about player rotations</a> and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-news-denver-week-1-debacle-sean-payton-self-check">the importance of keeping the roster fresh.</a></p><p>“They did really well. We had a good rotation. We talked at the start of the season of making sure that we weren’t going to look back on a certain game — especially inside — with 90 percent. I thought the plan and the rotation were really good,” Payton said, according to Broncos Wire.</p><p>With two practices remaining before the final injury report is released, Denver will continue to monitor Engram’s workload. Depth at tight end has already been tested, but his quick return to full participation marks a positive step as Week 2 approaches.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

DNVR Sports’ Zac Stevens posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), sharing what the 25-year-old quarterback <a href="https://x.com/ZacStevensDNVR/status/1965891798775316790" rel="noopener">said when asked about</a> the turnovers in the season opener.</p><p>“Tough plays. All three of their guys made good plays… in the future maybe not be so aggressive.”</p><p>Nix finished with 176 yards, a touchdown, two interceptions, and a lost fumble in a game where Denver’s defense carried the load. The quarterback emphasized the importance of learning from those errors, especially with a tough road ahead.</p><p>The upcoming Broncos Week 2 matchup Sunday features a matchup vs. the Indianapolis Colts on the road, who are coming off a dominant 33-8 stomping of the Miami Dolphins, led by new starting quarterback Daniel Jones and an opportunistic defense. If Nix dials back his risk-taking, it could signal a strategic shift for a team that now relies heavily on its elite defense and field position.</p><p>This evolution may also impact the broader narrative currently surrounding the Broncos offense, as the second-year quarterback has already proven capable of striking that balance. Nix recorded a 93.3 passer rating in 2024, throwing for 3,775 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions over 17 games. His 29 touchdown passes were the second-most ever by a rookie quarterback in NFL history, and he led all rookies in both passing yards and touchdowns while finishing as a finalist for the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award, which was ultimately won by Jayden Daniels.</p><p>A <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-news-sean-payton-weigh-bo-nix-turnovers-titans-takedown">more measured approach from the Broncos quarterback</a> could help reduce turnovers, but it may also limit the explosive plays that defined his breakout year. The challenge now is finding a way to adjust without losing what made Nix special.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Experts around the NFL world predict that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/3-broncos-bold-predictions-2025-nfl-season">Denver will have an excellent season</a>. A lot of that success is because of the head coach, Sean Payton.</p><p>After a win against the Tennessee Titans in Week 1, Payton decided to shout out Patrick Surtain, Talanoa Hufanga, and the entire defense.</p><p>The Broncos’ defensive unit is one of the best in the entire NFL. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-news-patrick-surtain-ii-father-reacts-cornerback-2024-dpoy-award">Surtain won the Defensive Player of the Year Award</a> last season and is one of the most feared corners in the league. However, Denver’s win over Tennessee was a team effort. The Broncos racked up six sacks against Cam Ward and had key turnovers. Hufanga and Ja’Quan McMillan forced two fumbles in the game.</p><p>After the game, Payton celebrated the win with his team in their locker room. He also made a move that is rare for him. According to The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider, the veteran head coach gave a game ball to the entire defense. Payton is not a coach that usually does something like that, but he felt the team deserved it, even if it <a href="https://x.com/NickKosmider/status/1965887457892925607" rel="noopener">won’t happen again for a while</a>.</p><p>“That happens, maybe, once every three years,” Payton said.</p><p>The Broncos’ defense, led by Surtain and the secondary, have a chance to make a run this season. However, Payton will have to lean on his defense as Bo Nix settles back into the offense. The young quarterback struggled in Denver’s season opener, hinting at some growing pains as he gets used to Payton’s system.</p><p>Despite some of the downsides of its Week 1 performance, Denver has a lot to feel good about. The Broncos have a big matchup against the Indianapolis Colts and their red-hot offense in Week 2. If Surtain and Co. have another great performance, Payton’s game ball tradition might have to be broken once again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The move was reported Tuesday, giving the former Dallas Cowboys running back a<a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1965532284477694413" rel="noopener"> fresh opportunity </a>in the AFC West.</p><p>His agent, Jovan Barnes, praised the addition, emphasizing Vaughn’s <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/broncos/news/broncos-sign-deuce-vaughn-practice-squad" rel="noopener">work ethic and character.</a></p><p>“He’s a hard worker. There could be a connection there. … I was excited when they expressed their interest, and now it’s up to Deuce to do what he does. … He’s a great player and a great young man,” Barnes said, according to Sports Illustrated.</p><p>A sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Vaughn<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/2-cowboys-roster-bubble-shine-2025-preseason"> spent two seasons in Dallas,</a> appearing in 14 games. He totaled 168 yards from scrimmage on 50 touches but did not score.</p><p>Before his NFL career, Vaughn starred at Kansas State, where he was named Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year in 2020 and later earned consensus All-American honors. Listed at 5-foot-6 and 176 pounds, his size often raised questions among scouts, but his versatility and production kept him on the field. His viral draft moment came in 2023, when his father, Chris Vaughn — a Cowboys scout — delivered the call that Dallas had selected him.</p><p>For now, Vaughn will serve as the lone back on Denver’s practice squad, behind the four running backs on the 53-man roster: J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Tyler Badie, and Jaleel McLaughlin. McLaughlin was inactive for Week 1 against Tennessee, while Dobbins and Harvey combined for 133 rushing yards and a touchdown in the Broncos’ 20-12 win.</p><p>After the opener, head coach Sean Payton spoke about the running game and the importance of balance.</p><p>“There are times where we want to run the RPOs, there are times we want to kill to the throws, but there are also times when we want to run the ball,” Payton said.”We kind of moved in that direction in the second half and then hit some big plays where we knew it was going to be a run. So I have to be better there, and it’s one of those day afters where you look back and say, ‘All right, let’s look at how we really wanted to start this game,’ and get those two runners going because we think we’ve really improved in that area,” he added.</p><p>Vaughn’s departure from Dallas closed one chapter, but his arrival in Denver puts him in a new system under Payton, who has stressed the importance of depth in the backfield.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While it <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-news-sean-payton-weigh-bo-nix-turnovers-titans-takedown">wasn’t a great day for Bo Nix</a> and the Broncos offense, the vaunted Denver defensive unit made its presence known, forcing multiple turnovers and keeping the Titans out of the end zone the whole afternoon.</p><p>The best player on the Broncos’ defense, and the team overall, is cornerback Patrick Surtain II, who had another strong game to open up the 2025 season on Sunday.</p><p>Recently, Surtain, who is almost always tasked with at least partially guarding the opposing team’s number one receiver, was asked who his <a href="https://x.com/Schultz_Report/status/1965487882099114226" rel="noopener">top five receivers</a> in the game today would be, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>“Obviously Ja’marr (Chase), Justin (Jefferson),” said Surtain II. “I’ll go CeeDee (Lamb), AJ (Brown), and this fifth spot is always tricky.
