ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- There have been times when Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson has closed the deal and powered good things in the offense in a stretch run.
There was the 48-yard touchdown run to beat the New England Patriots as the snow fell in prime time in 2015 to help the Broncos gain home-field advantage in that postseason. He had 90 yards rushing in the Super Bowl 50 win just over two months later.
He had back-to-back 160-yard rushing games in the second half of the 2014 season.
And even last year, when Anderson played in seven games before he suffered a season-ending knee injury, his best day of that campaign came in his final contest, when he rushed for 107 yards against the Houston Texans.
