Ravens Regroup with Suggs Out for Season
We’ve got to do better in all phases: offense, defense, special teams. But at the age of 39, it’s clear that Manning isn’t the same player he once was.
Note: FanDuel is hosting a one-week Fantasy Football league with $5 million in prizes for Week 1. Last year, Denver spent the majority of the season in a quick strike, pass heavy offense. He has not thrown for a touchdown in the last 21 drives, dating back to the preseason. That will hurt against a strong Chiefs defense. Former Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman is in his first year as the Ravens’ offensive coordinator, replacing Gary Kubiak, now head coach of the Broncos….
But after that game, the Ravens jump headlong into a tough AFC North campaign with the home opener against Cincinnati and, just four days later, the annual Pittsburgh trip.
The Baltimore Ravens and Oakland Raiders square off Sunday at O.co Coliseum.
“You guys know you can win a game like you did today”, Kubiak told the Broncos in the locker room after his offense produced a grand total of 219 yards. It also helps that the game is at Arrowhead Stadium. The six-time Pro Bowler limped off early in the fourth quarter with what was later diagnosed as a torn left Achilles that will end his season. “He’s a big emotional leader for our team“. It was a dominant performance. There have been rumors for several months that the Denver Broncos will look to Brock Osweiler, the backup who many believe will be taking over the starting job when Peyton steps aside.
“The pressure that we were getting was a problem”, said Harbaugh acknowledging that the Broncos’ pass rush significantly impacted the team’s play calling. The Chiefs should absolutely break their losing streak against Manning and the Broncos, winning by 10 points.
Broncos offensive line allowed 4 sacks.
After watching his output dip across 2014 as he dealt with a number of injuries, Peyton had a less-than-stellar start to the 2015 season.
Jason Witten: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Witten with 7 seconds left, and the Cowboys overcame three turnovers to beat the Giants 27-26 on Sunday night. Kansas City seems to be utilizing the talent of tight end Travis Kelce more this season.
Manning was 24 of 40 for 175 yards and his four sacks were his most since his emotional homecoming at Indy in 2013. The real superstar on the Chiefs’ offense is running back Jamaal Charles.
In Week One, the Denver Broncos garnered 160 yards in passing and 69.0 yards in rushing.
Who Will Win the Game? He also connected on a 43-yarder and 33-yarder later in the game in addition to booming his kickoffs.
It’s a short week for the Denver Broncos this week.
