Can you name Denver’s #2 receiver so far this preseason? Don’t look now, but it’s upstart Marquez Branson.  (You totally cheated and looked at the picture, didn’t you?) That’s right, the undrafted free agent tight end from 2009.  So far Branson has put up 45 yards and one touchdown in the first two pre-season games.  […]

Detroit Lions: 25 Denver Broncos: 20 Denver’s preseason record dropped to (0-2) this Saturday evening, losing in the closing minute to a re-surging Lions squad out to prove they’re not a bottom of the barrel team these days.  Invesco Field had great attendance for a preseason game, 73,093.  If the crowds were there to see […]

The Denver Broncos brought in Brady Quinn via trade and Tim Tebow through the draft this offseason, but that didn’t stop them from addressing their lame duck starting quarterback situation. On Thursday, the Broncos signed starter Kyle Orton to a one-year contract extension that will pay the second-year Bronco $12 million over two years, reports […]

Bruised ribs is the unsurprising diagnosis for Tim Tebow, who suffered the injury during Sunday’s last play on a helmet-first tackle from Bengals linebacker Abdul Hodge.  His availability for Saturday’s preseason game is unknown. Tebow’s feet may be his X-factor, but the rookie still needs to master pocket passing to keep defenses honest. And to […]

Jon Gruden once famously called Tim Tebow “250 pounds of concrete cyanide.” Even that Terminator-like level of conditioning might not have been enough to prepare the world’s most famous rookie for his first professional football pounding. Tebow jogged off the football field during practice Wednesday shortly after conversing with Denver Broncos head trainer Steve “Greek” […]

Unprofessional much? Two members of the media asked for — and received — autographs from Tim Tebow after the Bengals game. As a credentialed fan-blogger, it’s hard to invent a story that hits closer to home. Tebow didn’t just drive the football this weekend — he drove ratings, way up. Klis does his best to […]

Kyle Orton put an end to any quarterback controversy with his strong performance last night. “I’m really excited about our offense,” Orton said. “We’re going to have a unit that can dominate a game.“ But regarding the 2nd QB spot, McDaniels said, “That’s a competitive situation, I really do believe that.” Others believe it’s already […]

What we really saw: As many who have observed training camp have seen, the Denver Broncos are undeniably Kyle Orton’s team. The Broncos won the toss and elected to receive the ball, rookie Perrish Cox was back to receive the kick. Cox has been a much hyped kick/punt returner in Dove Valley and this would […]

Cincinnati Bengals 33, Denver Broncos 24. Kyle Orton and the first-team offense lit it up, while the second and third-teamers didn’t leave fans quite as encouraged. After starting with an impressive 14-0 lead on three offensive possessions, Orton proved that while he may not win gassers during training camp he still runs the Broncos. Orton […]

Two days after being carted off the field with what looked like a potentially serious injury, tight end Marquez Branson was back at Broncos practice Friday. Orton on Tebowmania and the state of the fans: “I don’t need love. I just need wins.” College football analyst Lee Corso thinks Tebow will be starting by week […]
