The Denver Broncos gameplan against the New England Patriots

His Patriots organization cares most about winning, which means outscoring the opposition.

Defensively, the Patriots have been playing well in recent weeks.

No. 12 took some very, very hard hits Monday night, and now has to face off against another fast and hard-hitting defense with one less day to recover.

Since both teams are focusing on getting ready for their primetime showdown, let’s do the same and investigate both teams and what to watch for on Sunday and the game score prediction at the end of the analysis.

NBC will broadcast the game between the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos this Sunday evening.

Keshawn Martin may play against the Broncos, but he was inactive against the Bills with a back injury. That’s the most important thing for us. Without a true threat at quarterback, the -3 favored Patriots can focus on stopping running backs Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson, who combined for a 161 yards rushing last week. “It just wasn’t the kind of production or offensive performance we were looking for”. “That’s the only thing I’m concerned about”. The guy’s a veteran quarterback who’s played and been through a lot. This may even call for simplifying the protection scheme and going with a base pass protection where all blockers simply step right or left and pick up whoever comes into their gap. Alan Branch starts at defensive tackle. Yes, the Patriots have better manners when you host them at your place.

“They’re a great defense”, LaFell said.

Not only has Denver yielded the fewest passing yards in the league, it has allowed just eight touchdown passes in 10 games.

Through it all, the Patriots have shown their usual resilience and have overcome all their injuries.

Why the improvement? According to safety Devin McCourty, it’s because the Patriots begin every work week with the same mentality: Prove themselves.

“We’ve got a real good secondary”. And so I think there’s some experience there. It’s been all 11 guys. “So I think we’ll just keep fighting and figuring out a way to win, and it’s good to win against a good defense”. Though becoming one dimensional and relying on the passing game is hardly the best game plan, it may be better for the Pats to throw on early downs and then run it with Blount when they get to second or third and short situations.

“Sometimes it takes awhile to get on the same page and develop that chemistry with a quarterback”, revealed Davis.

The other big story is, of course, Brock Osweiler at quarterback for the Broncos.

Still, when Brady leads his undefeated New England Patriots into Denver on Sunday night, the game will have plenty of significance. That would be the Steelers, who lost the opener at Gillette Stadium and are now 6-4.

Denver is 8-2 SU in its last 10 games. Pass protection will be essential for the Broncos against the tenacious Patriots defense, ranking second in the league in sacks with 3.2 per game. Some guys earn a starting job as soon as they arrive in the National Football League, as happened with Jim Plunkett and Bledsoe. They don’t give up very many easy plays. They are really physical. Nate Solder is done for the season with a torn triceps, center Brian Stork missed the first half of the year and Marcus Cannon has been plagued with foot injuries that have limited his effectiveness in games. They are 3-0 against the NFC West this season, and Ben Roethlisberger is 3-0 in his career against the Seahawks, including a Super Bowl win. “Even in drop-back, you’ve got to prepare for Brock to scramble because he’s not afraid to move”, Green said.

With temperatures expected to be around 20 degrees with a chance of snow showers, this is the type of weather Patriots defensive end Rob Ninkovich likes to play in.
