In three years, he&#8217;s taken the Broncos from not being a playoff contender to the top seed in the AFC after a 14-win campaign. For Payton, this was the turnaround of the culture that he promised when he was hired.<\/p>\n<p>So if a pundit believes that the Broncos&#8217; Super Bowl window is still open, it would be wise to believe them. NFL Network analyst Adam Rank believes the Super Bowl window for the Broncos, Chicago Bears, and the Jacksonville Jaguars is wide open. Ranks&#8217; belief in the Broncos starts with rising third-year quarterback Bo Nix, whom he believes over-promised with a B-list wide receiver room. He believes that with an improved wide receiver room, it will take Denver over the hump.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>To check out Ranks entire dialogue, click below.<\/p>\n<p>Social: Follow\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/broncoswire.usatoday.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Broncos Wire;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Broncos Wire&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Broncos Wire<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BroncosWire\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Facebook&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/thebroncoswire\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Twitter\/X;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Twitter\/X&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Twitter\/X<\/a>!\u00a0Did you know:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/broncoswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/broncos\/2019\/08\/03\/denver-broncos-famous-fans-celebrities-include-paul-george-amy-adams\/79446413007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans&quot;}\" class=\"link \">These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Broncos Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/broncoswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/broncos\/2026\/03\/12\/nfl-adam-rank-super-bowl-window-teams\/89090204007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:NFL: Adam Rank says Super Bowl windows are \u2018wide open\u2019 for 3 teams;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;NFL&quot;}\" class=\"link \">NFL: Adam Rank says Super Bowl windows are \u2018wide open\u2019 for 3 teams<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Denver Broncos lost to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game, and compared to where&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535530,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[62864,215571,64,63,17469,1248,1256,1237,256003,1231,593,40052,85,7508,187687],"class_list":{"0":"post-535529","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-adam-rank","9":"tag-afc-championship-game","10":"tag-au","11":"tag-australia","12":"tag-bo-nix","13":"tag-chicago-bears","14":"tag-denver-broncos","15":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","16":"tag-nathaniel-hackett","17":"tag-new-england-patriots","18":"tag-nfl","19":"tag-sean-payton","20":"tag-sports","21":"tag-super-bowl","22":"tag-the-afc"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535529"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535529\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
