Kubiak: Anderson and Hillman will split reps, "are both starters"

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- C.J. Anderson is still officially the Broncos' first-team running back, but in a more practical way, there is no difference between him and Ronnie Hillman.

"I think of them both as starters, to be honest with you," Head Coach Gary Kubiak said at his press conference Monday afternoon. "I know somebody has to walk out there on play No. 1, but they're both going to play and probably play right down the middle."

In the Broncos' 23-20 win over the Vikings, Anderson started the game, but Hillman opened the second half on the heels of his 72-yard touchdown gallop that was the Broncos 'longest run in nine years.
