Bold Predictions: Denver Broncos v. San Diego Chargers
The Denver Broncos suffered first loss to Atlanta Falcons. Now on Thursday, the Broncos now face the San Diego Chargers with bold predictions coming.
Against the Falcons, the Denver Broncos struggled mightily in all phases and they will now be with out head Gary Kubiak. Special Teams coach Joe DeCamillis is thrust into the interim role in a short week to prepare for the San Diego Chargers in this Color Rush matchup.
As the Broncos appear to be getting healthy pieces back for the game, look for the offense to re-establish its identity.
Paxton Lynch’s difficult NFL debut appears to be short-lived for now as Trevor Siemian expects to start for the reigning Super Bowl champions. Siemian has a better understanding of the offense and with the wide receivers. Both Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas will rebound in a monster performance against a depleted Chargers’ secondary.

The inept Broncos running attack is on track to get a boost in the additions of Donald Stephenson and Virgil Green back to the starting lineup.
Green and Stephenson, respectively, help CJ Anderson and Devontae Booker find holes to run to. On paper, the Broncos have a better rushing nucleus than last years; furthermore, both backs are on the verge of a monster game in San Diego.
In the Falcons game last Sunday, the Broncos defensive line and linebackers failed in gap integrity, which forced them to lose containment of both the Falcons’ running backs.
Even the pressure applied to Matt Ryan was minimal, but Von Miller and Shane Ray did well considering how the rest of the Broncos’ linebackers performed. Historically the past handful of years, Miller and the rest of the Broncos defense wreaked havoc on Phillip Rivers. This will not change tomorrow.
