With Peyton Manning present for his Ring of Fame induction, the Broncos found a way to claw their way back to .500 against the Washington Football Team. It was a gritty performance by the defense to hold Taylor Heinicke and company to 10 points minus their entire starting linebacker corps. It was also yet another disappointing showing by Pat Shurmur’s offense.
Here’s what I think in the immediate aftermath of the 17-10 victory.
Baron Browning looked like an upgrade on Justin Strnad
Injuries to Alexander Johnson, Josey Jewell, and Micah Kiser left the Broncos in desperate straits at linebacker this week, so George Paton traded a future day three pick to Los Angeles for Kenny Young.
