10 things we learned in the Broncos 27-17 win over the Lions

The game today was more about the future than anything. With neither team still in contention for the playoffs and a combined 31 players on Injured Reserve, the things that mattered most went far beyond the scoreboard.

Still, a 27-17 win feels pretty darn good.

Here’s what we learned.

When word came down that Kareem Jackson would be suspended two games for a DUI, the Broncos decided to give Trey Marshall the starting job. This meant Will Parks would stay at the nickel corner spot over Duke Dawson, which made sense in that Parks has looked far more comfortable there than when he played on the third level early this year.
