Believe it or not, things went so well for the Denver Broncos on Sunday night against Packers, a group NFL.com had ranked as its No. 2 team in the country heading into Week 8, that even a 21-for-29 for 340 yard performance by Manning was enough to land him a spot on our studs list.

“You have to compliment Denver”.
For anyone on the defense, maybe it felt like a throwback to 1977, when the vaunted Orange Crush put this franchise on the map.
The Broncos improved to 7-0 to start a season for just the second time in their history.
Rodgers was 14 of 22 for just 77 yards – the lowest total of his career in a game where he wasn’t knocked out by injury. I can’t say that a lot of what’s happened has been a surprise to me. “That’s kind of been my approach”.
With all due respect to Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris, it was pretty evident which club and quarterback his teammates were facing on Sunday night.
Mike Shanahan, The Broncos’ former coach, said that Bowlen deserved the recognition because he’s the best owner. “Sometimes it might be a quarterback’s record, but I look at all those as a number of people contributing to all those wins”.
Manning has been picked off in his first seven games for the first time ever but he’s 7-0 for the fifth time in his career.
The two-time Pro Bowler enters his tenth year in the league, and has struggled so far this year. Not only that, losing one game on the road, against the NFL’s best defense isn’t anything to make you re-examine your season. “Me and Ronnie are helping each other and using each other’s eyes and talking to each other on the sidelines”.
“Just as a general statement, when any team gets ready to play another team and they watch the film and they see what was effective, if they feel they can emulate it, they will try to do it”, Clements said. Simple adjustments could have saved this game, yet Green Bay did nothing.
If anything, the Packers can look back to the 2014 season opener, when they were shellacked in Seattle on national television. “It’s a good defense, a really good defense”, Rodgers said. Well, they met the best (allegedly) the NFC has to offer and broke them down. In their first six games, the Broncos had forced 17 turnovers, so it was a minor victory for the Packers that they didn’t have any, although they did concede a safety after recovering a Rodgers fumble in the end zone.
Seahawks 13, Cowboys 12 – Russell Wilson had a scoring pass for the game’s only touchdown and directed a late drive to the winning field goal, leading Seattle (4-4) past a reeling Dallas team (2-5) that has lost five straight without injured quarterback Tony Romo. “That’s why we got beat”.
The Packers’ top corner shouldn’t miss much time.
Next up for the Packers is a date with the 6-0 Carolina Panthers, who face the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night, in Charlotte at noon Central on Sunday.

The Denver Broncos found a few offense to go with all that defense, powering their way past the Green Bay Packers. “You’ve got to do it every week”.
