The Denver Broncos have found success in giving rookie running back Jonah Coleman touches, but an addition at the trade deadline could slow down his progression.

The Denver Broncos have taken over the AFC West following their win against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Last Sunday, the Broncos shocked the football world with their 28-24 win over their divisional rival, officially taking control of the AFC West. 

Denver bounced back from their first matchup, which was a 31-10 loss against KC.

Once again, the Broncos had a come-from-behind victory, this time down 24-13 entering the fourth quarter -- a trending theme from Denver this season.

Our hosts, Mike, Randy and Eric look at what Denver did right and start the conversation with rookie running back Jonah Coleman.

The RB totaled 104 yards from scrimmage, 41 rushing and 63 receiving, and even found the end zone. 

Broncos' quarterback Bo Nix turned it up as well, going 20/32 passing with 222 yards and two touchdowns and avoiding any interceptions.

Impressively, Denver's defense also slowed down Chiefs' RB Kenneth Walker, allowing him only 69 rushing yards and the team as a whole just 90 -- a massive improvement from Week 1.

This was head coach Sean Payton's 200th win, becoming the sixth-fastest coach to reach that milestone. 

Eric gives his take on the win, noting that Nix is finally looking like the clutch QB Denver fans have been claiming he is, and Coleman is beginning to emerge as the RB1 with RJ Harvey sidelined and JK Dobbins getting fewer opportunities.

However, Coleman's time as the best in the backfield might be coming to an end. 

With the NFL Trade Deadline on Nov. 10, the Indianapolis Colts are heavily rumored to trade away superstar RB Jonathan Taylor and the Broncos are among the teams interested in swinging a move. 

Before the deadline, though, the Broncos will be on the road facing the Carolina Panthers. 

Carolina sits at 3-4 and is playoff-hopeful, while Denver is looking to extend their four-game win streak.

The Broncos certainly can't take this team for granted, even though the Panthers are on a two-game losing streak, including a 43-13 beatdown by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

Randy shares his take on the game, noting that he's hopeful Denver can shake off their first-half woes and take control from the jump. 

Looking past Sunday's game, Randy keeps mentioning that the Broncos have a bye week, so any new additions made at the deadline will have to wait until later in the month to be shown off. 

Listen to the full episode for our trio's break down of last week's win and what's to come against the Cardinals this Sunday.
