Locked On Broncos - Daily Podcast On The Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos opened their season with a shocking 31-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. On this episode of BRONCOS SQUAD SHOW, Aniello Piro, Cody Roark, Sayre Bedinger and Nick Ferguson break down every angle of the Broncos’ embarrassing defeat. How did Bo Nix and Sean Payton’s offense stall out so badly against Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and a revamped Chiefs defense? Why couldn’t stars like Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton get going, and what went wrong for Alex Singleton and the Denver defense as they failed to contain Kenneth Walker all night? We debate whether it’s time for Broncos fans to hit the panic button after just one week, highlight the key plays and takeaways, and look ahead to what’s next. Join us for our biggest reactions, fan questions, and honest talk after an ugly start to the 2026 season!

The Chiefs turned what the Denver Broncos identity was supposed to be into its biggest weakness on Monday Night Football, rushing for over 200 yards while the Broncos defense missed 28 tackles. Cody Roark breaks down the Broncos defensive struggles against Kenneth Walker and Patrick Mahomes, the amount of self-inflicted mistakes by the Broncos offense and Bo Nix, and Davis Webb's refusal to run the football.
The Broncos couldn't have opened up the regular season worse than they did on Monday, especially with the hype surrounding them this offseason. Also discussed: Davis Webb’s debut as play caller, J.K. Dobbins’ limited workload, Jaylen Waddle’s three targets, whether the Broncos can fix their tackling, establish the ground game, and avoid an 0-2 start when Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars arrive this week on a short turnaround?
Cody Roark is a credentialed beat reporter for Mile High Sports and provides boots-on-the-ground coverage of the Broncos daily in person. Sayre Bedinger is the site expert for Predominantly Orange. Together, both bring Broncos Country the most in-depth and objective coverage of the Denver Broncos.

Bo Nix returns to Arrowhead tonight with a chance to announce his year-three leap. Can the Denver Broncos offense catch Steve Spagnuolo’s defense in “Davis’s Webb” and defeat the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football?
Cody Roark and Sayre Bedinger spotlight why J.K. Dobbins, Jaylen Waddle, Evan Engram, and the pressure on Davis Webb in his first regular-season game as play caller come to focus for the offense. They also discuss Patrick Surtain II’s matchup responsibilities, Riley Moss’s likely expected targets, and whether Nik Bonitto and Jonah Elliss can pressure Patrick Mahomes. Plus, keys to victory include: stopping Kenneth Walker, winning first down, handling Kansas City’s quick passing game, limiting penalties, and creating takeaways.
Get everything you need to know for tonight's Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs AFC West matchup on Monday Night Football.

Jaylen Waddle could be the matchup-breaker that sends the Denver Broncos into Arrowhead with a win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. Can Kansas City find an answer for his speed, or will Bo Nix attack the Chiefs' coverage weaknesses with Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Evan Engram, and Denver’s other playmakers?
Cody Roark spotlights Riley Moss versus Xavier Worthy, Patrick Surtain II’s likely assignment against Rashee Rice, and the defensive impact of shutting down the Chiefs’ run game. With Nik Bonitto expected to draw extra attention against an undrafted rookie offensive tackle, Jonah Elliss gets a prime one-on-one opportunity against Jaylen Moore. His speed rush and power could define the outcome of Monday's game.
Cody Roark is a credentialed beat reporter for Mile High Sports and provides boots-on-the-ground coverage of the Broncos daily in person. Sayre Bedinger is the site expert for Predominantly Orange. Together, both bring Broncos Country the most in-depth and objective coverage of the Denver Broncos.
