This is a 10* play on the Denver Broncos.
After running for 260 yards and two TDs in consecutive home wins, Adrian Peterson comes into this week's game at Denver surrounded by plenty of hype. Peterson poured a little gas on the fire by telling reporters he felt like he could have played in the NFL as a junior in high school. Well I think the Broncos defense is going to make him look like a high school junior this week.
Here is what I said about Denver before Week 1: "I think this Denver team is going to have a different look in 2015. Rather than depending on Peyton Manning to carry the offense with an all out air attack, I expect more of an emphasis on the running game. I also believe they will have one of the league's best defenses with a healthy Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware. The Broncos had a whopping 20 sacks on opposing quarterbacks this pre-season."
So far Denver's defense has lived up to expectations, ranking 1st overall in the NFL in total defense, limiting opponents to 16.3 points per game. They are allowing an average of just 83 rushing yards per game, and they have 11 sacks during a 3-0 start.
Peyton Manning might be on the downside of his career, but the Hall of Famer still managed to complete 31-of-42 passes for 324 yards and two TDs on the road in Detroit last week. Teddy Bridgewater on the other hand has thrown more INTs (2) than TDs (1). He threw for just 121 yards and an INT on 12-of-23 passing at home against the Chargers last week.
The only thing Denver hasn't done well this year is run the ball, and they might be able to break out at home today against the Vikings 25th ranked run defense.
Take DEN.
