Emmanuel Sanders is amazing

You would never know Emmanuel Sanders is coming off of a serious season-ending injury.

He was targeted 13 times in this game and finished with 11 receptions for 98 yards, an absolutely insane touchdown catch in the back of the end zone, and a two-point conversion to give the Broncos the lead late in the fourth quarter.

Sanders was slipping all over the field in Oakland in the first game of the season, but there was none of that in this game, and he torched Bears defensive backs pretty much all game. And unlike in the first game, he did this one on pretty much all short-intermediate stuff.

Sanders is obviously a key piece for this Broncos offense, whatever it is their identity ends up being. They’re not getting nearly enough consistency throughout the game and it’s maddening at times, but Sanders is pretty much unstoppable right now.

Hopefully, his dominance starts opening things up for other guys more consistently and the Broncos cand, you know, score more than one touchdown in a game.
