Michael Cohen on Packers’ next opponent, Broncos
On the other side, the 2015 Chiefs seem to be even more of a lost cause without running back Jamaal Charles, who is out for the year with a knee injury. The Packers and Broncos face off in an interesting showdown between Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers. The offensive line practiced together for the first time in almost a month as left tackle Ty Sambrailo (shoulder), left guard Evan Mathis (hamstring) and right guard Louis Vasquez (knee) were cleared after benefitting from the bye week.
“This will be probably the first day in about a month that we actually start the week with all of them in place”, coach Gary Kubiak said. Defensively, Green Bay is allowing 16.8 points and 355 yards per game. “Just enjoying the weather, it’s only going to last so long”.
“We’ll take a real good look at him tomorrow and Thursday”, Jones said in a radio interview. And he doesn’t need much room to beat you. “You’re not having to figure out, well how are we going to have to get around this to win because we’re lacking in this area or that area”.
The Denver Broncos host the Green Bay Packers in a battle of the unbeaten teams on Sunday, November 1 start time at 9:30 PM ET, at Sports Authority Field, Denver, Co. They rank No. 14 in yards allowed, No. 22 against the run, making the Packers the ultimate bend-but-not-break defense.
“I think we just have to finish our drives”. Their job is going to be to stop ours. However, the Broncos defense is possibly the best in the league and is sure to give Rodgers problems, especially with limited weapons on the outside.
Although the pristine records might suggest otherwise, the National Football League has a conspicuous lack of great teams.
Both teams are 6-0.
The Packers have had a challenging route to 6-0, overcoming many various injuries and inconsistent offense, and using one of the NFL’s best defenses to fight their way to victories. The Broncos defense have been solid that they were able to win games in opponents errors.
· Miami quarterback RYAN TANNEHILL completed 18 of 19 passes (94.7 percent) for 282 yards with four touchdowns, no interceptions and a 158.3 passer rating – the highest attainable mark – in the Dolphins’ 44-26 win over Houston.
On Monday, he had noticeably more zip on his tight spirals. While Rodgers is still playing near an MVP level, he hasn’t put up his usual gaudy numbers over the past few weeks. “We are gaining yards”, running back Ronnie Hillman said.
Scratch that. We are surrounded by pretty goodness. “But we’ve got a tough 10 weeks ahead, and none bigger than this one, we know that”.
Almost eighteen years have passed since that game, and the wounds are still fresh for Packer Nation.
“Line up and play fast; the most important thing is get lined up, get the call and go”, Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall said. “If you can just focus on one game at a time, when you look up at the end you’ll be right where you want to be”.
