Four. The number is four.
In this clip below, the Denver Broncos had four drops against the Buffalo Bills in a wild card playoff matchup in the first round of the NFL playoffs. While it isn’t the sole reason they lost 31-7, the drops certainly didn’t help.

The Broncos won ten games in 2024, finishing with a 10-7 record overall, but to get to the next level, production from the wide receiver group is a must. In head coach Sean Payton’s offense, receiver production can predicate the game’s direction and flow.
Denver should look to surround quarterback Bo Nix with talent this offseason, whether through free agency, the draft or trade (or a combination of all three). If Garrett Wilson from the New York Jets remains unhappy, perhaps the Broncos could target him in a trade this spring.
While the Broncos should be proud about their postseason berth in 2024, there’s still plenty of room for improvement going forward.
