Five reasons the Denver Broncos will beat the Colts on TNF

DENVER, CO – DECEMBER 10: Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas #88 of the Denver Broncos makes a catch under coverage by cornerback Morris Claiborne #21 of the New York Jets in the fourth quarter of a game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on December 10, 2017 in Denver, Colorado.

Coverage will be exposed

The Colts rank 30th in the league according to Pro Football Focus metrics when it comes to overall pass coverage grade, and as fate would have it, they also rank 30th in the NFL against the pass.

I’m not saying the Denver Broncos have exactly been a model in the NFL this year for exposing poor pass defense (see: recent loss to Oakland) but this past weekend was an indicator of what the Broncos are capable of doing even without a good running game when they get the ball out quickly and on time.

I foresee the Colts’ coverage being exposed in this game, as the Broncos and quarterback Trevor Siemian exploit them to all levels of the field.
