Kicking

The Broncos are planning on sticking with Brandon McManus as their kicker for 2018. Even after his struggles in last season, there is still reason to expect McManus will get back on track.

After missing a career high eight field goals last season, it is hard to picture next season being any worse for McManus. From 2014-2016 McManus missed just one field goal inside of 40 yards, but missed three such kicks last season alone.

After watching McManus kick field goals with a success rate of 85 percent in 2015 and 2016, Broncos fans should look at McManus’s down season as just that — a down season.

Brandon McManus will bounce back in 2018.
