Broncos vs. Colts: Five Keys to Victory for Denver

3. No Slow Starts

The Broncos have been notorious for starting games off really slowly and out of sync since Manning came aboard. That pre-dates his Denver days, and many Broncos fans might recall the times he played against Denver and gave us a ray of hope with a close first half or even sometimes a halftime lead.

Manning is a master of halftime adjustments but it would be nice if his adjustments could come with a sizable lead. The Broncos are built for a quick strike offense and a defense that is strong from the inside out, so getting out to an early lead should be something they can make happen.
