Players to Watch:
QB Kyle Orton
Height: 6-4 Weight: 225 Age: 28
Stats: 2806 Yards Passing 16 TDs 5 Interceptions
Kyle Orton is having a career year this season, already throwing for 2806 yards and 16 TDs. These numbers nearly match his numbers from his 2008 season and if he continues on this pace, he will definitely blow away his career highs. He is leading his team to the 2nd ranked pass offense (behind the Chargers) and he knows how to avoid interceptions. If the Chargers look to create turnovers against Orton, they will need to strip the ball from him on a sack. He has been sacked 21 times and the Chargers rank number 3 in sack totals this year. We will need to create pressure on him and keep the receivers in front of us. The Broncos have the second most passing plays of 20+ yards.

1. What are your expectations for the Broncos from this point forward? You still hoping for playoffs?

There’s still some hope left for the playoffs considering four of our seven remaining games are against division opponents. Winning one of those is essentially like winning two games. The AFC West is a roll of the dice right now with all teams, including the Broncos, still in the hunt for first place. With the Broncos starting 2-6 before their bye week, I would just like to see them finish with a winning record for the second half of their season. Josh McDaniels also needs to show us that he can guide this team into consistent play. One week, they look like a team that can beat the Jets and the next week, they lose to the Raiders by 45-points. If McDaniels wants to stay in Denver for a long time, it all begins with the second half of this season where the Broncos will need to play their best football in November and December.
