Broncos Links

I’m happy to be back, but the Broncos didn’t return from their vacation on a positive note. I’m actually glad that they lost at this point in the season. The pressure builds when you get to 9-0 or 10-0, and the probability of a giant collapse increases as the playoffs approach. Since I’m trying to play catch up, I’m going to do a link dump today. Enjoy!

Broncos:

• The Broncos will be on their toes with the Steelers no huddle pass heavy offense.
• Here’s your chance to ask Mario Haggan a question.
• Brandon Marshall hosted the Sports Soup last night.
• I’m not the only one who thought the timing of the Broncos first loss was good.
• Kyle Orton is still someone to think highly of, but how much of his success is his own doing, and how much of it can we credit to McD? 
• Right tackle Ryan Harris is out 3 weeks.
• Josh McDaniels was very impressed with Joe Flacco.  
• Bronco Talk gives us their studs and duds from week 8.

AFC West:

• Broncos fans aren’t the only ones wary of Raiders fans.
• The Chiefs were off, but Larry Johnson is planning his great escape.
• Former Charger, Chris Chambers, is now a Chief.
• Philip Rivers and Eli Manning will finally battle it out on the field on Sunday.

Random:
