The Drive | Hour 2 | 12.10.25

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil look at the history of 11-2 NFL teams and why the Broncos are on a short list when it comes to a point differential. What does this Broncos team have in common with the other 11-2 teams with similar point differentials? We hear from Sean Payton and his thoughts on being an underdog vs the Packers at home and how important the home crowd will be for the Broncos. How is this year's matchup different than when the two teams faced off in 2023? Today's "Three Count" features if the Chiefs could bench their stars in their meeting with the Broncos on Christmas Day if the Chiefs are eliminated from the playoffs, teams around the MLB showing interest in the Rockies' Brenton Doyle, and the NFL shortening first round draft picks from 10 minutes to 8 minutes. We react to the Avalanche losing another shootout to move to 0-4 in shootouts this season. Why do the uber-talented Avs struggle in overtime and shootouts?
