The Jets-Chiefs matchup gets top billing, but Denver supplies one of the liveliest questions in NFL Today+'s Week 9 preview: do you believe in the Broncos?

Russell Wilson, himself a former Broncos quarterback, points to Bo Nix's fourth-quarter comebacks. Antonio Pierce focuses on the partnership between Nix and Sean Payton, crediting their work in situational football. The discussion makes a case for Denver that goes beyond its winning streak: late-game quarterback play, well-chosen calls and a defense led by Vance Joseph.

The NFL on CBS broadcast passed roughly 111,000 views within eight hours, already several times the channel's usual full-day audience for longer videos. Kyle Long hosts from New York alongside Wilson, Pierce and Darius Slay. The show is sponsored by GEICO.

There is plenty beyond Denver. Wilson praises Trevor Lawrence's execution in Jacksonville, while the panel examines Chicago's defense and the challenge of repeated quarterback changes. Later, attention turns to Shedeur Sanders starting for Cleveland and how offensive coordinator Todd Monken can prepare him.

Between the football arguments, Long introduces a picture of Kirk Cousins wearing chains on an airplane. His own experience with that look was less successful: "I wore a chain one time, and it was so cold I took it off immediately."
