The Drive | Hour 2 | 01.02.26

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on the Nuggets and debate if Denver should have paid Peyton Watson instead of Christian Braun last off season and if it is worth it for the nuggets to go into the second apron to pay Watson now. We pivot to the Broncos and breakdown what players will have incentives on the line this weekend. Phil explains the dynamic with incentives between the player and the organization. Today's "Three Count" features the Broncos updated projections for the AFC title game and Super Bowl, fun facts from the College Football Playoff's final four teams, and which NFL game we are most looking forward to this weekend. Our 9News Broncos insider Mike Klis joins the show to discuss if Mike is looking for "style points" on Sunday, the concerns with the Broncos sack numbers going down, and more.
