The NFL announced the finalists for their end-of-season awards this morning and a total of three Broncos were named as finalists for these awards. Head coach Sean Payton is a finalist for Coach of the Year, cornerback Pat Surtain II is a finalist for Defensive Player of the Year, and rookie quarterback Bo Nix is a finalist for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
This was a successful season for a Broncos team that went from a team many assumed would be among the worst teams in the league to making the playoffs. They ended their postseason drought, won 10 games, had a total of five All-Pro players, and now have three members of the teams as finalists for the end-of-the-year awards.
