After settling matters against the modest Carolina Panthers (1-7), Sunday, the Denver Broncos (5-3) now face much tougher competition.
The sequel Broncos schedule are back-to-back road games against the Baltimore Ravens (5-3) and Kansas City Chiefs (7-0).
“That’s why we have to get back to work,” passer Jonathon Cooper said after a 28-14 win over the Panthers. “I don’t feel like we did our best. [today]. I still feel like we haven’t played our best football yet.
“We need to make sure we go back and clean up some things to be on point because we have two big games ahead of us. We need to make sure we’re ready for them.”
Pat Surtain, Denver’s star cornerback, knows the next two weeks provide a huge opportunity for the Broncos. The team could establish itself as a true contender in the AFC with positive results.
“We understand the task at hand,” Surtain said. “It’s NFL football, so we feel like every week is a new week of opportunity. Obviously with these two weeks coming up, we know the opponents we’re playing and we have a good opportunity to really stand out.
Denver has won its last three road games and the team will look to maintain that momentum when they travel east to take on the Ravens.
“The good news is we’ve played well on the road so far this year, so we’re happy to take on the challenge,” setter Nik Bonitto said. “We know it’s going to be great to play against these two teams, so we’re ready for that.
The Broncos are currently above Baltimore in the AFC Wild Card race and below Kansas City in the division. The next two weeks will have huge playoff implications for Denver’s season.
