How to Lasso the AFC West: A Guide for Broncos Country (Without Getting Trampled by Mahomes)
Ah, the AFC West. A land of grit, gasping for air at Mile High, and Patrick Mahomes casually launching footballs into another zip code. For Denver Broncos fans, taking home the division crown feels like finding a free churro at the bottom of your bag – rare, but oh-so-sweet. So, how can we dethrone the Chiefs and claim the AFC West in 2024? Let's strategize, folks, because let's face it, relying on a rogue squirrel to take out Mahomes' knee mid-game is probably not the best plan (though, wouldn't that be a story?).
Step 1: Embrace the Orange and Blue Forcefield
Denver has a secret weapon: Mile High. That thin air? It's Kryptonite to most quarterbacks, turning them into noodle-armed tourists. Visiting teams arrive all cocky, then take one breath and suddenly their accuracy goes the way of a deflated football (sorry, Tom Brady, not this year). Let's use this to our advantage. Turn Empower Field at Mile High into a human car wash for opposing offenses.
Step 2: Unleash the Inner-Sherpa on Offense
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
We need touchdowns, not field goals. Field goals are like lukewarm coffee – they might wake you up, but they won't get you truly hyped. Our offense needs to channel their inner-mountain climbers and conquer the red zone. Imagine Jerry Jeudy soaring through the air like a majestic bald eagle, snatching that pigskin out of the sky for six points. That's the kind of energy we need, folks!
Step 3: The Great Wall of Von... Whoever's Starting at Defensive Line
Look, our defensive line has seen better days. But that doesn't mean we can't get creative. We need to build an impenetrable wall – the Great Wall of Von... okay, maybe not Von anymore, but you get the idea. Let's confuse quarterbacks with blitzes that look like a synchronized swimming routine. Who knows, maybe the sheer strangeness will throw them off their game!
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.

Bonus Tip: Horsepower Over Horsepower
Our secret weapon? Our mascot, Thunder the Mile High Mustang. Maybe we can strap a tiny helmet on him and have him run trick plays. Hey, it's worth a shot, right?

Facing Your AFC West Fears: A FAQ

Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
How to avoid getting stomped by the Las Vegas Raiders? Simple. Don't gamble on the game. Put your money on a winning strategy (like the ones above) instead.
How to survive a close call with the Los Angeles Chargers? Easy. Remind Justin Herbert that the beach is always calling and maybe he'll check the score there instead.
How to motivate the team through a tough season? Chicken wings. Lots and lots of chicken wings. Studies have not been conducted on this theory, but trust me, it'll work.
How to celebrate a hard-earned AFC West victory? Orange crush for everyone (of legal drinking age, of course)!
Remember, Broncos Country, with a little bit of strategy, a sprinkle of luck, and maybe a rogue squirrel intervention (hey, you never know!), we can bring that AFC West trophy home!
