If he’s able to turn a corner and at least cut back on turnovers, the team will improve even if he’s not passing as proficiently as he was in his prime. But many NFL insiders believe the Broncos, a team that may sport the best defense in the league, is winning in spite of Peyton Manning. The Broncos boast the 2nd best defense in the entire league in terms of yards.

In a nutshell, the Broncos are fourth in points allowed per game, lead the National Football League in sacks, and have produced the most takeaways. “It’s going to be a time where we can go show everybody what the Broncos defense is all about”.
With five undefeated teams around the NFL, there’s plenty of greatness to go around this season, so despite history pointing to the Broncos returning to the Super Bowl, they’ll have to get past another pair of teams now playing top flight football in their own conference.
Lions: Matthew Stafford rushed for a single-game career-high 37 yards in Detroit’s overtime victory over Chicago, but Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press writes that the Lions (1-5) don’t want their quarterback to make a habit of running. Carr has a 93.9 passer rating with eight touchdown passes and three interceptions.
Dansby thinks if he makes it, he might be the last one into the club. Are they the team that shocked the Cardinals behind an impressive outing from rookie signal-caller Landry Jones? Where we once watched Manning for his expertise, his peerless stature among the NFL’s players, we now see in him a kind of overview of the sport’s emotional terrain. As long as they keep that core of Roethlsiberger, Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown and Martavis Bryant healthy, there’s no reason to think they’re not a playoff team. “They really stepped up in a crucial time when we needed to run the ball”. “For me to be an inside backer to do that, I might be the last one”. And finally, we’ll go with the Unplugged version of “On a Plane” for the comedown music, because it’s not only an apt description of Von’s talent level, but also the ideal track to listen to on the flight back home from a game.
Is Indy (3-3) a ragged team suffering from post-Deflategate malaise with a growing disconnect between the coach and the GM? That is why we chose to go with the play we went with. That means that regardless of how bad things get on or off the field, the Colts will still get their ticket punched for the postseason.
So can the Broncos get back to the Super Bowl this year? “They’re outscoring and out-throwing Green Bay, and both are playing good defense”.
The Denver Broncos have been working to get better play from the offensive line.
Still, the Broncos are an unblemished 6-0. Cincinnati’s next four games include road contests against the Steelers and Cardinals. 500 and only the Patriots and Broncos have beaten a team with a winning record.
“We did get Clive involved, albeit in a limited capacity”, offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said. 500 or so by the end of the season. The “Red Rifle” came prepared this season reloaded with new weapons on offense.
“No”, Kubiak said. “Peyton’s doing just fine”. For some perspective, Houston is second at 50, while Carolina and Minnesota are tied for the fewest with 32 each.
That’s the same phrase coach Gary Kubiak used recently when he was asked if the answer to what ails the Broncos might just be the zip, zig and zag that backup QB Brock Osweiler could bring to the field.
Fantasy football fans with teams heavy on Broncos players will have to find replacements for them with this week’s bye.
The Browns’ defense won first down with the game on the line and the ball at midfield in overtime Sunday. The rumors that the Denver Broncos might bench Peyton Manning are still largely at bay, but if the team were to start losing then they could grow much louder. So have 2-4 San Diego and 1-5 Baltimore. Wade Phillips has once again delivered the goods.

“I just look at it as me going out there to do my job”, said Bruton, who has been responsible in part for three game-saving plays, which he attributes to a lot of great communication with the other defenders. Not that anyone in New England is too bummed out. Jay Gruden, despite Cousins struggles, has remained quite adamant on him remaining the starting quarterback but it is reasonable to question when Jay Gruden will pull the plug on the Kirk Cousins experiment. It’s one of the biggest, if not biggest, differences between the NFL and college football, which dives into a whole different sort of weird when plays like the one that ended Michigan-Michigan State happen.
