Broncos vs. Texans: Five Predictions for Regular Season Preview

Aug 17, 2014; Santa Clara, CA, USA; Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (88) tries to break free from the hold of San Francisco 49ers defensive back Perrish Cox (20) after making a catch in the first quarter at Levi

2. The Offense Will Flex

The offensive gameplan, for the most part, should be vanilla. The Broncos aren’t going to pull out all the stops in a preseason game just to beat the Texans but Peyton Manning was pretty ticked off at practice this week. I would expect him to want to come out and shut up at least D.J. Swearinger, who picked him off in practices and got a bit of a big mouth.

I think the Broncos offensively will make sure the Texans know who’s boss before they let up or put Osweiler in the game.
