Running game gets confidence boost
After struggling to get the run game up to speed through the first three games, the Broncos broke through against the Vikings in Week 4 for the most balanced attack Denver has had all season.
On the day, the Broncos put up 144 yards on the ground, the most for the team all season. Running back Ronnie Hillman eclipsed the 100-yard mark for 103 yards including a 72-yard running score that ignited the offense.
“You find those creases and hopefully they're home runs. That just happened to be one,” Offensive Coordinator Rick Dennison said of Hillman’s run.
