The Broncos are 3-0 after a 26-0 shutout win over the New York Jets on Sunday in the home opener in Denver. This is the first time the Broncos have started 3-0 since 2016. It feels good to be 3-0 but the schedule will now get tricky. Here are my thoughts on the game...
1) The Broncos defense dominated Zach Wilson all game long. They got 2 INTS, 5 sacks, and only gave up 162 total yards in the game.
2) The Broncos didn't have to do much offensively to win this game. Teddy Bridgewater was efficient enough and finished 19-25 for 235 yards and0 TD and 0 INT. The ground game did its' job, and Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon each had a touchdown run in the game.
3) It never felt like the Broncos were in trouble at all in this game. They led throughout, and it was smooth sailing once they got the lead.
4) It was great to see the home crowd back in Denver again. To see the fans back in all that orange was awesome. They need to keep that energy up next week.
5) The Broncos are starting to get crushed with injuries. KJ Hamler, Dalton Risner, and Graham Glasgow all left with injuries yesterday. Couple that with the long term injuries to Bradley Chubb and Jerry Jeudy, and the Broncos are losing too many valuable players. Let's hope the three guys hurt yesterday can come back soon.
6) Denver is 3-0 but all three teams they beat are winless. Now, the true test comes next week at home against Lamar Jackson and the 2-1 Ravens. We will see where this Broncos team is at at home next Sunday.
