Episode Description

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil preview the Broncos matchup with former Broncos coach and current Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Phil shares his story of going to a Colorado basketball game with Vic and his relationship with Fangio. We hear from Fangio and his thoughts on Bo Nix. We look at the Broncos updated odds for their win total, chances of making the playoffs, winning the AFC west and more. Zach lays out the case for Nik Bonitto to win the defensive player of the year with his sack numbers, opportunities on national television, and more. Could Bonitto take home the award just a year after Patrick Surtain won the award a season ago? We react to Deion Sanders' comments after Colorado's loss over the weekend and not blaming their slow start to the season on NIL money. Could Pat Shurmur's job be in jeopardy if the Buffs' offense doesn't perform well?
