Jordy Nelson isn’t walking back on the field, and the return of Adams from a three-game hiatus because of an ankle injury didn’t help.

“That’s what we do – we work together on the front and the back end”, Broncos defensive back Chris Harris Jr said. This will be a big step up in competition for them. Green Bay will go to Carolina next week in a showdown that figures to have playoff implications later on. Fortunately for the Broncos, the new reality for Manning is accompanied by a cocky defense that takes reality and shoves it where even the Colorado sun doesn’t shine.
Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette observed that Hayward looked “lost”.
“Like I’ve said before, anytime that you have a few sort of record like that, you think about all the players that you played with, the coaches that you’ve coached with”, Manning said. The Denver defense was able to limit the Packers to 90 yards rushing. “I really don’t have the answers for you guys right now until I watch the film”. “That’s what I see”.
Later in the year, Denver has games against Cincinnati and New England.
In only the fourth meeting of teams 6-0 or better, Peyton Manning tied Brett Favre’s National Football League record with his 186th regular-season win and Denver’s defense rattled Aaron Rodgers into one of the worst games of his career in the Broncos’ 29-10 victory Sunday night. The Packers’ defense will have a breakdown here and there. I want to finish the rest of the season like that.
“Being the underdog at home made us mad”. I thought they were a good team, but one whose offense wasn’t strong enough to carry them in big games. And when you consider that Mike McCarthy’s team did not commit a turnover in the game, it shows you just how dominant the Broncos’ defense was in the prime time showdown. The Chargers had just absorbed another narrow defeat, and the standout quarterback had no clue how to solve the problem. He said the rough transition isn’t a surprise to him and there’s still a long way to go.
My guess is those wrinkles will come on the offensive side of the ball.
“It’s something that you kind of take a day to just reflect on, get all your emotions out”, guard T.J. Lang said. I doubt it will be huge, but it can’t hurt. They’ve begun to establish a running game, and they can limit their opponents in ways that many of Manning’s Colts teams never could; what they need, amid this formula, is a quarterback who doesn’t make costly mistakes, and there is perhaps no quarterback who has done that more effectively over the course of a long career than Manning. Denver has yet to give up any points to the opposition in the first quarter this season…. Yes, they are stacked with playmakers. The defensive line pass rush pressure comes from everywhere.
New York Jets at Oakland Raiders: Six games into the season and the Oakland Raiders have won half their games (3-3 and in second place in the AFC West). I’m not saying that.
The Broncos are now 7-0 this season, and the Packers are 6-1 going into another game against an undefeated foe.
The Bronco defense impressed again Sunday night.

Wrapping up the Week 8 NFL Sunday schedule on “Sunday Night Football”, we had a great-looking matchup between a pair of unbeaten teams in the Packers and Broncos. So much for writing Manning off. And with comfort, came 340 yards passing, play action magic, patience for the running game and red zone touchdowns.
