The Denver Broncos are Looking Special
Who would have thought that the Denver Broncos would open up the season with two wins? I mean, there was a lot of drama and changes with the Broncos during the off-season. Following a disappointing finish last season, it looks like Denver football is back.
Ironically, it’s all happening without their long standing coach, Mike Shanahan. New head coach Josh McDaniel has overcome adversity when you consider the fact that the team lost its top quarterback and wide receiver.
Denver Broncos Coach McDaniel is the youngest coach in the NFL, and his lack of experience hasn’t seemed to matter so far. The Broncos have looked great through two weeks. Even Broncos fans weren’t happy with the new coach in town.
Sure, their first two opponents have been relatively easy ones. The Browns at home is a game they should be expected to win, and the Bengals in Cincinnati? Well, usually one would see this as an easy one too, except for the fact that the Bengals just marched into Green Bay last Sunday and came away with an unexpected win.
Whatever the case may be, I’d like to shift my emphasis to the Denver Broncos’ defensive situation so far. This is a team that has only let up a total of 13 points through the first two weeks of the football season.
The Browns offense is pretty bad, but the Bengals have always been strong as long as Carson Palmer’s around. With Palmer back in the line up, it opens up a ton of room for their running game.
Individually, the Broncos are doing well on defense too. Take Elvis Dumervil, for example, whose four sacks during the first two quarters against the Browns are more than any Denver Bronco has ever achieved in a half of football.
Now that’s serious. If Denver can keep this level of play up on defense, they’re going to surprise a lot of fans. We all know that defense wins championships!
