Broncos stand pat at trade deadline after all as they lean on defense and try to jump-start offense
The Broncos stayed with their current roster after calling off their only deadline deal and said they will try to fix the offense internally.
- On Thursday, the Denver Broncos called off their trade for Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley after he arrived in Denver for a physical, leaving the team with its current roster intact for the stretch run.
- Denver stood pat midway through the season, choosing to run it back with the same 15-4 roster from last year while planning to tweak the offense and lean on their strong defense for playoff positioning.
- Coach Sean Payton reassumed offensive play-calling duties a month ago, yet the unit ranks 23rd in passing and 24th in rushing. Despite these offensive struggles, the team extended its NFL-record streak of one-score victories to 16 straight.
- Injuries to Talanoa Hufanga, Brandon Jones, and Riley Moss had prompted the front office to seek defensive reinforcements, but without the Henley addition, the team must rely on existing depth to maintain its AFC West position.
- The Broncos face their toughest tests against Pittsburgh on Black Friday, Buffalo on Christmas Day, and New England just after New Year's Day as they try to secure the AFC's top seed again.
