Because of how inept Paxton Lynch was in the Broncos’ first pre-season game, no one got to experience the greatness of the Broncos’ young rookie receiver duo of Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton.

Hopefully, Sutton and Hamilton will get plenty of reps with Keenum at quarterback as well as with Kelly throwing passes, as those are the two quarterbacks that seem most capable of finding open receivers at this point in time.

The Broncos need to get some plays drawn up for Sutton in this game to prove he can do in a game setting what he’s been doing in practices: dominating.

Sutton has been unstoppable in jump ball situations and while ne needs to refine his all-around game, he’s got the potential to be a big-time weapon for the team this season.

Along with DaeSean Hamilton against a pretty weak Chicago secondary, the Broncos’ passing game could be featured heavily in this contest, and Sutton is the likeliest of all to make a huge impact.
