What happened: Denver columnist Troy Renck called Tuesday for the Broncos to gauge the trade cost for Indianapolis running back Jonathan Taylor. The push comes directly after the Colts agreed to deal six-time All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round selection.

Why it matters: Indianapolis sits 12th in the conference on a three-game losing streak following a 16-10 defeat at Minnesota and a recent general-manager change. With the Colts already moving veteran linemen for future draft capital, Denver holds the No. 5 seed after a 30-16 road win at Arizona and has been linked to backfield upgrades ahead of the deadline.

By the numbers: Broncos: 5-2 record, W3 streak, No. 5 seed (won 30-16 at Arizona on Oct. 25). Colts: 2-5 record, L3 streak, No. 12 seed (lost 16-10 at Minnesota on Oct. 25).

What to watch: Watch whether Denver submits a formal trade inquiry to Indianapolis for Taylor ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
