""It sucks ... it's a lot," Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton said earlier this week. "I was so ready to be coming in [Monday] and getting ready for either Seattle or Los Angeles. ... Hard to feel that it's over.""
""Being that close and not getting there sets a fire in you, I'm not going to let that taste leave my mouth," Broncos edge rusher Jonathon Cooper said. "Probably for the rest of my life, you don't forget losses like that.""
The Denver Broncos' season ended abruptly with a loss in the AFC Championship amid a blizzard and a fractured ankle suffered by quarterback Bo Nix. The team finished 14-3 with homefield advantage and faced an AFC field without Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow. The defense set a franchise record with 68 sacks and allowed 18.3 points per game, holding the New England Patriots to 10 points in the title game. The Broncos played 15 one-score games, exposing a razor-thin margin for error. Offseason focus must be on creating more cushion and adding offensive help to support the defense.
