In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos. Is the Broncos bet of trading a first-round pick for Jaylen Waddle finally paying off for the Broncos? We hear from both Bo Nix and Courtland Sutton on Waddle and his fit in the offense. We hear from Sean Payton on the Broncos wanting to have faster starts to games. Are the guys concerned with the Broncos becoming smaller favorites over the Panthers as the week has gone on? Would the guys trade Bo Nix for Bryce Young right now? Today's "Three Count" includes the Broncos' ownership showing they are one of the best ownership groups in the NFL again as they are replacing the natural grass at Empower Field midseason, Alex Singleton becoming the third Bronco in the last decade to win AFC Defensive Player of the Month, and two former Broncos head coaches being part of the final 5 candidates to be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. What version of the Avalanche will we see tonight after getting embarrassed against Columbus and Jared Bednar calling the team out? Will the Avalanche figure out their defense after allowing 52 goals through their first 16 games?
