Broncos want run game to pick up after stumbling against Bengals

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos had a difficult day running the ball in their win over the Cincinnati Bengals this past weekend. A slip here, a slip there and in the end C.J. Anderson finished with just 37 yards on 14 carries that included several uncharacteristic stumbles.

And with 13 of those yards on one carry, it meant Anderson had 24 yards on the other 13. That's not the kind of outing he's had in the Broncos' first two wins of the season -- they rushed for 148 yards against Carolina, 134 against Indianapolis -- and not the kind they would like to have Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
