Denver Broncos vs. Miami Dolphins Week 13 Preview

The Denver Broncos travel to South Beach to take on the Miami Dolphins in what could be a tricky battle. I preview the game here.

There will be a lot of familiar faces meeting on Sunday afternoon. The Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins have a lot of former players and/or coaches seeing their former team. From Jay Cutler to Julius Thomas. Vance Joseph and Adam Gase. The connections are endless.

When it comes to playing in South Beach, the Denver Broncos have not had much success. No matter what it is, the team struggles against Miami. However, the Broncos have won the last two meetings which were each decided by three points.

Both teams still have a chance to get to the playoffs. But those chances are on life support. At this point, this could decide who will pick higher in the draft.

Trevor Siemian will be starting for the first time since the end of October. He was able to lead the team to 14 points. However, the hole that was dug was too deep to come back from. Hopefully Siemian can take what he did and can lead the Broncos to a win.

With only five games left in the regular season, the Broncos will try to salvage whatever they can of their season. Let us take a look at how these teams compare.

What to watch for

How will the Broncos Secondary Look without Aqib Talib?

Aqib Talib was able to get his suspension reduced following his appeal. However, he will be forced to sit out for this game due to his actions last week. We saw how his replacement, Brendan Langley, did. Hopefully Vance Joseph saw this and will not make a big mistake like that.

With receivers like Jarvus Landry and Kenny Stills on the outside and DeVantae Parker in the slot, the secondary needs to be on guard. The team called up Marcus Rios from the practice squad. Hopefully he will be able to contribute to the team.

Can Trevor Siemian bring the Broncos back to their winning ways?

As crazy as it sounds, Trevor Siemian is the only quarterback on the Broncos roster who has won a game as the starter in 2017. The only thing that Siemain should be focused on is getting the running game going and don’t turn the ball over. As long as he can do that, the Broncos should win this game.

Easier said than done though.

Prediction

Despite all the rough patches the Denver Broncos have gone through, I believe that they have a really good chance to win this game. Throw out the history these two teams have. This could be a golden chance for the Denver Broncos to get back to their winning ways.

Focus on not turning the football over. Run the ball like your life depends on it. Pressure Jay Cutler. Those are my three keys to victory. And I believe the Broncos will apply all three and get the win in Miami.
