With his linebacker corps ravaged by injuries against one of the NFL’s top rushing attacks, Vic Fangio had a premonition about Sunday’s game against Philadelphia.
Unfortunately for the Broncos, that premonition came to fruition in the 30-13 loss to the Eagles at Empower Field. Denver yielded a season-high 214 rushing yards, including 53 yards by Jalen Hurts, the top rushing QB in the NFC.
“We had a hard time stopping them in the first half with the combination of Hurts on the gun run game and (running back Jordan) Howard,” Fangio said. “They’ve been running it good against most everybody they play, and we’ve struggled to stop the run consistently this year.
