Trevor Siemian was expected to start after a mini-bye from last Thursday’s game against the San Diego Chargers. The other expectation is for him to play better than his last performance. Siemian played well except for a quarter and a half. The first quarter appeared slow and lack of quick decisions stalled the offense of drives.

Siemian and the rest of the Broncos offense stalled in the first quarter once again. This needs to change for the team to get off to a fast start. He must make quicker decisions out of the gate for them to put the pressure on the other team early and sustain. However, as proven by Peyton Manning last year, the Broncos can win games with this formula. Siemian is the ultimate game-manager and in this offense, he is not afraid to take chances. Because of the struggles in the first quarter and half of the third, Siemian is graded at B-.

If given the opportunity, Siemian can throw the deep ball perfectly in the right situation. All of his chances are taken by what success they make in the running game. The play action game seemed to be successful to Andy Janovich and to Emmanuel Sanders. Timing on the Sanders play action throw was perfect resulting in a huge gain, but should result in a touchdown with a better throw.
