Broncos can only Stop Themselves

This Denver Broncos offense is firing on all cylinders. If the offensive line continues to dominate… if Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal continue to frustrate opposing secondaries… if Jay Cutler continues to light it up… can anyone stop these Broncos?

Today’s game is a perfect case in point. The Broncos wide receivers should destroy the Saints’ corner backs. The offensive line should have no trouble handling the Saints’ pass rush. With time in the pocket, Cutler should be poised and dangerous. The running backs should have a good game on the ground as well against an iffy run defense.

The Saints have that same ability, though. Give Drew Brees time in the pocket, and he will make you pay every time. He’s a Top Five quarterback in this league, and even without his preferred weapons he’ll make you pay if you don’t get after him early and often.

Points will be scored. Defenses will be humbled. In my mind, the difference between victory and defeat today is squarely on the shoulders of Jay Cutler and company to continue their dominant performances. If they have an “off-day,” it will be a long day in the office for Denver and its fans.

I see a final score of Broncos 35, Saints 31. I’m confident this crew will continue to get it done. On to 3-0!
