In the first two games of the season, the Denver Broncos ran the ball more than they passed the ball: 36-28 and 39-32. It’s no coincidence they won both games. Against the Buffalo Bills, they got away from the run despite averaging 4.8 yards per carry.
Neither Jamaal Charles, nor C.J. Anderson had more than 10 carries. Meanwhile Trevor Siemian chucked the ball 40-times. Putting the game into the hands of a young quarterback is a risky proposition under any circumstance and this time it bit the Broncos in the rear end.
