Fullback Adam Prentice was productive as the Broncos' short-yardage back, scoring a one-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and leading the way for ball carriers who had success running the ball. Head coach Sean Payton told reporters at halftime that 'We believe in the fullback,' reinforcing Prentice's importance to the team. Prentice, who originally started with the Broncos and returned after time with the Saints, is used as a short-yardage runner, pass catcher, pass blocker, and special teams contributor.

In 2025, Prentice appeared in all 17 games plus two postseason games, totaling 10 rushing attempts for 44 yards and 6 receptions for 53 yards, with a career-high 11 tackles (mostly on special teams). The source notes he was reliable in short-yardage situations and can sneak out as a receiver, but his primary value comes from opening running lanes for the Broncos' backs and contributing on special teams—work that isn't always visible to media and fans but is valued by coaching staff.

Prentice re-signed to a one-year, $1.4M deal and is expected to be the Broncos' starting fullback for the 2026 season. The source projects he will follow the same roster management pattern as prior seasons: cut during roster cutdown, re-signed to practice squad, elevated for first three games, then signed to active roster. He has no real competition for his role and figures to be the fullback if he stays healthy. Prentice will serve as the team's physical lead blocker to open running lanes for the Broncos' backs, is reliable in short-yardage situations as a runner, can function as a pass catcher, and contributes on special teams.
