“on paper it seems like this isn't going to go well for the Broncos”
Denver beat Seattle 17-14 in overtime on Oct 15, 2026 and moved to 4-2. The offense was poor (168 total yards, Nix 107 passing yards), but the defense won the game, so the 'won't go well' call missed.

GilI don't like, and this is, you know, I will be judged for this comment and I'm sure fairly, but I don't like when the present coach is showing, you know, personality and I have a life outside of this.
