Containing Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram
Quarterback Case Keenum has been sacked 24 times this season. The Broncos face superior pass rushers in Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, which means the sack total against Keenum is likely going to increase.
With Keenum’s habit of holding onto the football way too long, as well as the Broncos’ offensive line banged up, as well as young, it could be a long day for Keenum courtesy of Bosa and Ingram.
Second-year left tackle Garett Bolles has a tendency to hold defenders at very inopportune times. I have a feeling this will be an issue once again due to the talent level of who he will be facing Sunday.
I think that Denver should call screen passes to the running backs and tight end Jeff Heuerman to counter Los Angeles’ pass rush.
After all, Heuerman did have ten receptions against the Houston Texans two weeks ago. Screen plays could be an effective way of getting downfield against the Chargers.
