Annnnnndddddd...WIN No. 1 is in the books.
How’s that W taste, Broncos Country?
Yep, pretty damn good.
It was a typical Broncos game in that it came down to the wire, and it was the defense that had to hold on for the victory, but for the first time in many, many games, there was confidence that the offense - even in spite of mistakes - could win this.
And it did.
With the help of a bunch of new guys as well as some spectacular veterans.
Case Keenum found Emmanuel Sanders, Demaryius Thomas, Courtland Sutton, Phillip Lindsay, Devontae Booker, Jake Butt and Jeff Heuerman open to pull down 329 offensive passing yards, while Lindsay and Royce Freeman racked up more than 140 rushing yards combined.
