The Sean Payton era in Denver began with a giant thud, as the Broncos lost their first three games of the 2023 season, including a 70-20 blowout against the Dolphins. Since that embarrassing performance, though, Denver has looked like a different team.
LIVE: Follow Vikings vs. Broncos updates from 'Sunday Night Football'
The Broncos have won four of their last six games, including a 24-22 victory over the Bills on "Monday Night Football." Denver has slowly crawled its way back into the AFC playoff race, and the team's confidence is rising each week.
"I think coach Payton has done a great job of changing this culture and really impacting us as players," Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson said. "The whole coaching staff has been amazing. We're in this thing together. We're battling together. We're fighting together.
"We believe in us, and I know Broncos Country believes in us, too."
If Denver wants to stay on the path to the postseason, it will have to take down a Minnesota squad that hasn't dropped a game since early October.
