The Packers control their destiny — and now face their toughest challenge yet. This week we travel to Denver to take on the AFC’s #1 seed, the 11–2 Broncos, at altitude in one of the NFL’s most unique home-field environments.
In this episode, we break down:
- Why playing at 5,280 feet drastically affects stamina, rotations, passing mechanics, and kicking
- How Denver’s elite run defense creates impossible third downs — and how Green Bay’s 11-personnel + jumbo looks can attack their weak spots
- What the film actually says about the Broncos pass rush vs. the sack numbers — and why Jordan Love can still win this matchup
- How to gameplan around Patrick Surtain II and why Christian Watson may need more slot snaps
- Which WRs the Packers should target (Riley Moss mismatch alert) and how Denver struggles defending the run out of nickel
- Will Josh Jacobs be ready? How WR depth becomes critical in the altitude
- Defending the Broncos: zone vs man, the Bo Nix tendencies, and how to force him into his worst throws
- Why pressure + first-down run stops are the key to this entire game
- The tells in Denver’s personnel groupings that the Packers must exploit
This is a true measuring-stick game — a chance to prove Green Bay belongs in the Super Bowl conversation. Let’s break down how the Packers can walk out of Mile High with a statement win.
