Broncos Rule Out Pro Bowl Cornerback for Showdown Vs Raiders

The Raiders are now one victory away from equaling their win total from last season following Week 8’s 30-24 overtime thriller at Tampa Bay.

Musgrave tried to downplay the importance of this week 9 tilt, noting that every game is important, but there’s no doubting how much the outcome of Sunday night will affect the Raiders, the division, and the entire league. I’m using the lines from ESPN’s Pigskin Pick ‘Em game. Denver has regularly gotten the better of the Raiders in recent years, winning eight of the last nine since 2011, and the Broncos are 26-7 overall in divisional play over the last five years, the best winning percentage against divisional foes in the National Football League in that span.

“The thing with Derek, I think he’s throwing it more than anybody in football and he’s turned it over less than anybody in football”.

“It was no big deal because I was in right after that”, Doss said. “That whole series, I thought the ball was coming at me, and I was ready for it”.

Listed as a 6-foot-1 guard, Norris is a good leaper, has better than average ball handling skills.

There are quite a few big games on the schedule this week, but none bigger than this one. “With all the talk that’s been going around the league, with how he’s been playing and his number of pass attempts through the game, he’s a quarterback that you definitely have to have pressure on or he’ll pick you apart”.

Lions (+5.5) over Vikings: You’ve seen the Vikings offense lately.

That should enable Flacco to have more time in the pocket, and it might open up the running game, too. The next test for the third-year passer is thriving against a top defense like Denver’s. Smith reportedly doesn’t have a concussion, but the Chiefs may still proceed cautiously with him. “He starts moving around and guys start moving and getting downfield”. The Cowboys go on the road to face the Cleveland Browns, a team that nearly came out with a win against the Jets. He joked he could have scored his first career rushing touchdown instead. Talib has missed one game in each of his previous two seasons with the Broncos. Nothing like a little chatter before a game to set the mood, but I can’t disagree with Ward. We’re going to take a look at the things that didn’t go well, and we’re going to tell the truth about that. Remember the Raiders did beat the Chargers at home but do sit at 1-2 at home on the season. There is no question that the Broncos’ defense is capable of those numbers, although it is very hard to carry out on the field. Most people expected the Broncos to be good this season, but hardly anyone expected the kind of start the Raiders have had. They’ve passed for 2,281 yards, which ranks 4th in the league.

Not one current Broncos player was in the NFL.

Rams (+3) over Panthers: Maybe the Panthers had their awakening last week and now they’ll cruise.

“This is the natural progression of building a good football team”. He has 32 receptions for 469 yards last four weeks. The running game, in which C.J. Anderson will be inactive managed only 57 yards, but got a TD from Devontae Booker and Juwan Thompson. The Packers will square off against the Colts. Their coordinator, Wade Phillips, got hurt in a collision in the last game, but he returned to practice on Wednesday and should be at the game Sunday night.

The Broncos win games in the opposite way, their defense. Trevor Siemian has played decently well, but the Broncos’ offense isn’t all that powerful. It’s a long trip to the West Coast for the Bills. We should expect to be in these games.
