C.J. Anderson named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

And never mind that Erickson’s neighbor, former Denver legend John Elway, was the man that ostensibly drafted Osweiler to someday replace another legendary Denver quarterback in Peyton Manning. We can expect C.J. Anderson to make some big plays while backup running back Ronnie Hillman can be counted on similarly. He’s come off the bench in the last five, and has broken 100 yards twice. I like how Coach said earlier, to be the best, you’ve got to face the best. The good news for Denver is they have at least another two weeks before they have to cross this bridge.

This defense of Peyton got plenty of readers talking. Despite the legendary quarterback’s miscues and the lack of offensive firepower being created, the Broncos are still winning on the back of an elite defense.

“It’s an honor to go into the Hall of Fame there”, Anderson said. They said that no decision had been made. “We got the stop on defense we needed in overtime – that three-and-out — and our offense went to work”. After rushing for more than 80 yards in a game six times previous year, he entered November having yet to crack more than 43 yards in a game. “He started pointing out some things to me about some of the things that he felt good about, and he was echoing that to Brock”.

“It’s basically some of the elements that are going on in the game”, he said. Have I got that right? “I’m going to try to get healthy so I can try to get back”.

And after Sunday night’s over the previously undefeated, Bruton was quick to say where what transpired on a snowy night in the Mile High City ranked highly among the regular-season games he has been a part of.

So, the Patriots consistently put the Broncos’ fleet group of linebackers, that same group that had vexed offense after offense, into coverage situations down the field. Gordon had been inactive the last four weeks after the Broncos acquired Vernon Davis from the 49ers in a November 2 trade.

While Anderson received plenty of praise after Sunday’s win, his hometown has been showering him with it ever since he left Bethel. It would be a surprise if he played this week. Williams was seen in the locker room Wednesday wearing a walking boot.

If DeMarcus Ware is healthy enough to play Sunday, Denver’s defense will have its full slate of pass rushers to take advantage of a porous Chargers offensive line that has been marred by injuries.

Playing on the turf in Indianapolis on November 8 exacerbated the injury. RG Evan Mathis (groin) returned to practice.

That is music to the ears of any fantasy owner with Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas on their team, because the stud pass-catcher has not developed any chemistry with the new guy. Don’t be surprised to see them blanket Antonio Gates, who has been heating up as of late and reminded us of the big play ability he has given the Chargers for many years. Mathis injured the ankle November 22 in Chicago and was active a week later, but did not start. “Mike really helped me learn how to prepare and how to prepare on a weekly basis, how to study a game plan and be prepared for the game on Sunday”.
