The Broncos have finally unveiled some star captains to make up for the past season’s loss. They suffered a catastrophic setback to the Raiders the previous season, finishing 5-12 score. Even Russell Wilson, who has a stellar quarterback record, struggled last season. But, this season’s matchup appeared to be a little different, with head coach Payton on their side, whose strategies are most discussed in the NFL franchise.

After honing everyone’s ability in the practice, Bronco’s HC made shockwaves by choosing some of the extraordinary players as the team’s captain, who can take care of the team’s defense. Justin Simmons is one of them, and his intriguing response is making a stir on the internet.

Denver Broncos-Throwback match

The Broncos had a terrible six-season straight-string loss after 2016. Moreover, last season was quite intimidating for the team. The Broncos lost with a disastrous score of 5-13, which took a toll on them. One of their prime rivals was the Raiders, who have shown incredible performance last season. A player who stood as a major roadblock last season was Raiders RB Josh Jacobs, who shook up the gridiron with an impressive 721 yards and did nine touchdowns, which took a toll on to Broncos.
