Tune in to Patriots-Broncos on 98.5 The Sports Hub – the flagship station of the New England Patriots. With the absence of Dion Lewis, Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola, the Patriots No. 2 offense does not look as explosive.

Brady and Company are averaging 32.3 points per game, good for second in the National Football League behind Arizona’s 33.6 points per game average. Can they seize it? This is going to be a huge “eye test” kind of game for me personally. That’s the beauty of being here and I saw it right away.
The offense moved the ball up and down the field all day against the Bears who just beat the Packers. Obviously, I love having him around. “I’ll have my back turned and when I hear the JUGS machine go off, I’ll turn and try to locate the ball”. “He’s a great player and you have to be aware of him”.
The Seahawks have rushed for 100 yards as a team in 21 straight games.
The award represents the first conference recognition of his career and the first AFC Offensive Player of the Week honor for the Broncos this season.
Two more factors in tonight’s game – the 75,000+ Bronco fans and good, old Mother Nature. Anytime they have they do the same thing defensively against teams they play. Harper is a rookie that has played in only two games and has yet to make his first catch in the NFL. But that’s not why I’m predicting the outcome that I’m predicting. “You can really see that on tape”.
Yeah, it’s Bill Belichick vs. Gary Kubiak and Tom Brady vs. Brock Osweiler I, but those aren’t the matchups the Orange and Blue should be concerned about. Broncos win 28-24, leaving Brady both defeated and sore for the first time in 2015. The Patriots’ top-ranked scoring defense will throw a lot more at Osweiler, whose head must have been spinning all week while trying to dissect the Pats’ spinning wheel of coverages in recent games.
Washington still has four division contests left and probably needs to sweep them to be a factor.
In Week 12, the long awaited matchup between the 10-0 New England Patriots and the 8-2 Denver Broncos will take place in at Mile High Stadium. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said he hopes to have Ware back Sunday, but that appears to be an optimistic projection. I know they get a lot of criticism and so forth, but that crew is a good crew.
“They rush well. They cover well”, he said.
Teams have tried to blitz Brady and the Bills hit him often, but his quick release, surprising elusiveness in the pocket and New England’s short passing game have played into the team’s success. With top-end talent matching up against the Patriots’ fourth-string wide receivers, the advantage clearly goes to the Broncos.
ENGLEWOOD | Tight end has gone from a position of weakness to one of strength for the Denver Broncos.
Since coming to New England in 2000, Belichick has won 73.8 percent of his games (206-73), replete with 15 winning seasons, six AFC titles and four Lombardi Trophies. If the Broncos are to hand the Patriots their first loss of the season, they will have to limit tight end Rob Gronkowski.

“I’ve been in Phoenix – we live there for the offseason – just working out, waiting for the call to come and fortunately it did yesterday when I was shopping for groceries for Thanksgiving”, Ponder told reporters on Wednesday.
