The Denver Broncos were bracing for bad news on their starting running back, who they sent for a second opinion on his ailing right knee Wednesday.
Anderson hurt it on an 11-yard run on the final play of the first quarter Monday night against Houston but returned to the game and ran 14 more times for 84 yards to spark Denver's 27-9 win.
His 107-yard performance on 16 carries marked his first career 100-yard game before Halloween. Combined with rookie Devontae Booker's big night, the Broncos (5-2) finally snapped out of an offensive funk by rushing for nearly 190 yards.
