1 of 5

How do the Denver Broncos get their first road win of the young NFL season and take one against the Buffalo Bills? Here are five predictions…

The Denver Broncos are undefeated through the first two weeks of the season, and are looking to remain that way after a week three matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

What does Denver need to do to get to 3-0?

Here are a few predictions for Sunday’s game and how the Broncos can come away with a victory.

5. Shaquil Barrett will have a huge game.

The Buffalo Bills enter this game against the Denver Broncos with a rookie — Dion Dawkins — starting at the left tackle position. I liked Dawkins coming out of Temple this past year, as he has a combination of size, athleticism, and a nasty streak to him to be effective in the running game.

Against the pass rush of the Denver Broncos, though?

It’s going to be a tough day for the rookie, I’m thinking.

Shaquil Barrett in particular lining up primarily on the right side of the defensive alignment is going to have a big game, I think. Barrett is right up there with the best of the best in the NFL this season in terms of quarterback pressures, and I think he’s going to terrorize Dawkins and Tyrod Taylor all game.

The Bills are going to have to help on the right side of their line already with Von Miller, so Barrett should see favorable matchups.
