The Denver Broncos entered their Monday Night Football matchup with the Buffalo Bills as major underdogs.
They were not expected to compete in this matchup, let alone win it.
A loss would have given them a difficult path to make the playoffs.
However, they came away from this game with an unlikely win, giving the team motivation in the back half of the season.
Justin Simmons spoke with Omar Ruiz after their victory, discussing the team’s new playoff aspirations.
Simmons says the Broncos are ‘super close’ to making a playoff push.

This win brought the Broncos’ record to 4-5 on the season, giving them a sliver of hope moving forward.
Their upcoming opponents include the Minnesota Vikings, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, and Los Angeles Chargers.
While each of these opponents will provide a tough test, this could also be a time for the Broncos to go on a run.
If they can get through these games with a record of .500 or better, it could signal the start of an impressive turnaround.
One of the biggest factors of the Broncos so far this season has been Russell Wilson and his ability to run the offense effectively.
When he has played well, it has resulted in positive things for this organization, which happened to be the case in this surprising win over the Bills.
Wilson threw an unlikely completion to Courtland Sutton in the end zone, a pass that helped the Broncos come away with the victory.
If he can continue to be poised and calm in the pocket, there’s no telling what this team is capable of moving forward.
