The Broncos say they’re not happy just to be in the playoffs

After the Broncos beat the Chiefs last Sunday to clinch a playoff spot, wide receiver Courtland Sutton called it “really dope” to reach the postseason for the first time in his seven-year NFL career.

On Wednesday, Sutton made sure people knew that making the playoffs wasn’t all he wanted to do. Sutton said “one of the biggest misconceptions” is that the Broncos are satisfied with making the postseason whether or not they beat the Bills on Sunday.

Quarterback Bo Nix is ​​in his first NFL season, but he echoed Sutton when it came to being “pleased” to end the team’s playoff drought.

“I don’t want to be handcuffed by making itjust because we haven’t done it that long,” Nix said via the team’s website. “If we can do that, we might even win some games. Honestly, it would be a shame to come this far, start enjoying where you are, and then get complacent and not give it your all in this game when you have the opportunity to go out there and compete for the win.”

While the playoffs may be new to Sutton, Nix and the rest of the Broncos’ players, head coach Sean Payton has plenty of postseason experience and one of his tasks Sunday will be to make sure they don’t get overwhelmed at this point.
