The Denver Broncos are sitting at 4-2, fresh off an absolutely wild overtime win against the defending Super Bowl champs, and now they’re lining up against the 2-4 Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, October 25th.
Stunners, Underdogs, and the ‘Should Win’ Trap
Talk about a couple of teams pulling off stunners, right? Denver, playing at home, was the underdog against the reigning Super Bowl champs and still managed to snag that overtime W. Then you got the Cardinals, who rolled into LA and took down the heavily favored Rams on their home turf. What a start to Week 7!
Now, on paper, this Sunday’s matchup at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, looks like a gimme for Denver. Kickoff is 2:05 p.m. Mile High time, and you can catch all the action on CBS affiliates. Kevin Harlan, Trent Green, and Melanie Collins will be on the call, or check out local Broncos radio. But let’s be real, how many times have we seen a team trip up in exactly these kinds of games? Seattle fans know that feeling all too well when you expect a win, right? It’s that classic trap game potential that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The Bo Nix Question and a Shot at 5-2
So what’s really on the line for the Broncos here? A win pushes them to a sweet 5-2 record, and honestly, that’s gotta feel good. Plus, they’re gunning for a three-game win streak, which is huge momentum mid-season. They just got rookie running back Jonah Coleman designated to return from IR, so that’s a boost to the backfield depth. Every little bit helps when you’re trying to stack Ws.
But here’s the kicker: there’s this whole vibe around Sean Payton and Bo Nix. The question is floating out there: does Payton *really* trust Bo Nix right now? And you hear fans already trying to say, “Stop blaming Bo.” It just tells you there’s some serious internal pressure and a spotlight on the QB. This isn’t just another game, it’s a test of leadership, execution, and confidence, especially when you’re *supposed* to win.
So yeah, this isn’t just some random Week 7 tilt. The Broncos are heading into State Farm Stadium this Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 2:05 p.m. Mile High time, with a chance to hit 5-2 and keep that win streak rolling. But the question of whether they can actually handle a “should win” game, combined with that Bo Nix discussion? That’s what makes this game so damn interesting. Every snap matters.
