Trevor Siemian, the second-year quarterback who has been one of the biggest National Football League stories of the summer, on Saturday night appeared to solidify his victory in the race to be the Broncos’ next starting quarterback. The defense was the main reason behind the Rams success past year and Jeff Fisher knows that will have to be the case again if his team is going to have any shot at winning the division. He played the first half and the Broncos were in front 10-9 when Siemian’s night was finished.

We’re three exhibition games and a training camp into the the Broncos season, and the reigning Super Bowl champions still have no idea who’s going to line up under center Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers.
“I’ve got a lot of work to do”, Kubiak said following Saturday night’s game.
“I’m going to continue to stay optimistic about my 2016 season and try to enjoy it”, shared Michael Vick of his plans of an National Football League return.
There’s no such thing as too many pass rushers, but the Broncos won’t be able to fit them all on their 53-man roster.
It was all about Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch.
With those four on the field, tonight we should feel the good vibrations from the past season. But asked if he believed he had done enough to be the starter, Siemian said: “I do, but again that’s not my call. I wish we could have scored more touchdowns, but overall, we won the game and we played good as a team”. Kubiak pointed out how Siemian led a scoring drive following a drive that ended with his interception.
“I’m impressed”, said Kubiak via ESPN. “God’s got me this far so I’m putting everything in his hands and we don’t have control over anything, anyway”.
But there was also a brilliant third-down conversion that could’ve been, when Goff scrambled out of the pocket, went to his right, found Williams wide open toward the middle of the field and hit him right in the chest, only to see the ball get dropped by Williams and an unnecessary roughness be called against the Broncos.
Mark Sanchez: If you still think that Mark Sanchez will be part of this team this year, it’s time to get out of denial. I know everybody says, ‘Dress rehearsal, ‘ but I don’t know if it’s like that any more.
Kayvon Webster came in and made several nice plays in Talib’s place, including a pass breakup on a fourth-and-1 toss from Jared Goff to Michael Thomas. Denver plays their final preseason game on the road against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday. I sat down with Mark this morning, before breakfast. That has to be leaving a lot of players nervous, some of which could be on our list here. “I think he’s had a great preseason. I’m not happy in the way that went”. “We’ll meet as a staff and go from there”.
Siemian started in the last two games for the Broncos while Sanchez missed the opportunity to win in those games.

“He’s very competitive”, Fisher said of Goff.
