“They were firm”, Elway said, via the Denver Post.

Last season, the Falcons raced out to a 6-1 record before collapsing and finishing 8-8 in coach Dan Quinn’s first season.
All the Eagles (3-1) needed was a field goal to stay unbeaten, but Wentz went deep on the next snap to Nelson Agholor, and Slay intercepted him with 77 seconds left, Wentz’s first turnover of his National Football League career. Obviously, with the injuries we’ve had, we’ve shown that we have enough depth to compete with teams, but we’re not getting the results that we want.
The Falcons are excelling with a high-flying offense. If there is one area that Denver has to figure out, it is the play up front. But their talent brings a real challenge for a Broncos team looking to extend its 15-game AFC West road winning streak. Rookie first-round pick Paxton Lynch thus made his first career start and was very uneven.
Since throwing for one score and two interceptions in the season opener, Siemian has thrown five touchdown passes and one interception.
In his third National Football League season, Latimer has yet to make much noise as a receiver, although he has become a consistent contributor for the Broncos on special teams.
The impact of Green’s potential return?
The Broncos say Kubiak is “feeling much better” after receiving treatment and will be out soon.
Eric Goodman and Les Shapiro of The Afternoon Drive took the time to talk to former CU great Mike Pritchard about the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. With the Broncos playing on Thursday, there’s no reason for Kubiak to rush back so quickly, especially with most of the season left to play.
In 2013, Kubiak suffered what was described as a mini-stroke at halftime of a game against the Colts. This time, with coach Gary Kubiak out for a week when he became ill following Sunday’s game against the Falcons, the job falls to special-teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis, not defensive coordinator Wade Phillips.
A 4-1 start to the 2016 season by the Atlanta Falcons has surprised a great amount of people.
If this wasn’t a short-week turnaround for the Chargers, it’s quite possible that embattled coach Mike McCoy might have been fired on Monday.
To recover, he will be sitting out the upcoming Thursday night game when the Broncos take on the San Diego Chargers.
However, the Chargers have failed to hold onto leads in three of their five games this season in the fourth quarter. But rookie holder Drew Kaser flat out dropped a flawless snap. We asked the doctors and said, “you need to put Gary first”.

Up by 10 at the half, the Falcons stretched their lead to 20-3 on Coleman’s 31-yard catch and run for a touchdown. This was more than enough to clinch the division’s top spot, especially with all the other NFC South teams having a tough time to win games. Their offense struggled to find its rhythm in the absence of injured quarterback Trevor Siemian. Vic Beasley Jr. had 3 ½ sacks. The under is 5-2 in the past seven meetings.
