The Denver Broncos were favorites to win the AFC West at the start of the season. Defending Champions isn't easy because you're getting everyone's best. This year was not a good year for the Broncos. Here are some reasons why Denver didn't make the playoffs this year.

1. Trevor Siemian

Trevor Siemian was named the starting quarterback for the Broncos in the offseason. Siemian had big shoes to fill because Payton Manning was the QB (quarterback) before and retired after winning the super bowl. Siemian started off great but then everything went down hill. He doesn't move well in the pocket and his offensive line couldn't hold up.

2. Cap space

The Broncos missed out on Brock Osweiler because they didn't have enough cap space. Osweiler is in the playoffs with Houston. laughing at the Broncos for not signing him. The Texans gave him a better contract. The Broncos overpaid many of their players and it came back to bite them. Missing out on a good QB is probably the main reason why the Broncos are not in the playoffs.

3. Team was being divided

The Broncos' defense is one of the best in the NFL. Their offense is one of the worst in the NFL. All year long, players were arguing on the sidelines and in the locker room. This doesn't help when you're fighting for a playoff spot and then you lose it. Guys like Aqib Talib, Chris Harris Jr, and TJ Ward have trouble controlling their anger on the field and off and caused detractions.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
