Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Phil cross-talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys go down memory lane with Phil and his record of not fumbling in the NFL and learning how to win. Zach and Phil recap Zach's day at his kid's school, reading a book to the class and answering questions from the kids. We pivot to the Broncos as the guys debate if it is "now or never" for Bo Nix to figure it out. Will the Broncos extend the Cardinals' home losing streak to 10? If Nix doesn't look good against a bad Cardinals defense, would it be time to hit the panic button? Do the Broncos need to win this weekend to stay in the race to win the AFC West? We dive into the Nuggets' loss to the Thunder last night and go through all the layers of the game. How encouraged were the guys about the Nuggets' defensive and rebounding efforts? Are the guys concerned about the Nuggets' offense, specifically the two-man game between Jokic and Murray? We preview the Colorado and Oklahoma State game tomorrow night. What are the biggest storylines heading into the game? Will CU's offense be able to help out their defense?
