The bad news about Emmanuel Sanders tearing his achilles hit hard in Broncos Country, but the locker room took it in stride as “next man up” mentality came out in full force.
“Seeing Emmanuel go down was a very sad situation. The guy works his ass off. You all see it. Everybody sees it. You hate to see that for somebody in this position. He’s having a great season,” said rookie Courtland Sutton, who had his own “step up” moment in Week 7 when the Broncos traded Demaryius Thomas and suddenly the rookie was WR2.
