Top Storylines

Big Ben has not fared well in Denver

An article written by Jakob King gives us an insight on Ben Roethlisberger’s struggles during his career in Denver. If history is set to repeat itself, it would bode well for the Denver Broncos.

Big Ben is perhaps in the final years of his playing days. He has been successful, winning two Super Bowls. But he has not done well when he plays in the Mile High City. In a game that the Denver Broncos need to stay in contention, it would be great to see those struggles continue.

Adam “Pacman” Jones released by Broncos

In a rather surprising move, the Denver Broncos have decided to move on from Pacman Jones on Tuesday. With the depth at cornerback, it was a move I did not see coming. But looking into it more, his playing time was getting reduced.

This also gives players Issac Yiadom and Brendan Langley more opportunities. Langley was brought up from the practice squad to take Jones’ spot on the roster.

Adam Jones only played in seven games for the Broncos. He missed three due to injury. Towards the end of his time in Denver, he was only seen on special teams. The writing was on the wall for him when other players were handling the returning duties.

It will be interesting to see where he lands next, but we are hoping that he does well going forward.

Von Miller named AFC Defensive Player of the Week

After his one sack and turning point interception against the Los Angeles Chargers, Von Miller was named the AFC Defensive Player of the week.

We here at Predominantly Orange have talked what seems to be weekly on how much of an impact Von Miller brings to the table week in and week out. His performance on Sunday exemplifies that.

He will play a huge factor in deciding the Broncos hopes in the remaining six games on the schedule.
