The Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts square off in week eight. What are the keys for a Broncos victory over the other NFL team resembling a horse?

The Denver Broncos head to Indianapolis to take on the Colts this Sunday. Denver, 2-5, is coming off of an embarrassing 30-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that saw Patrick Mahomes go down. Enter Matt Moore.

Denver has won just four away games since the beginning of the 2018 season out of 11 total away games so far.

I get it. The Broncos have a new coaching staff and new pieces on both sides of the ball. Unfortunately, the NFL is not very forgiving. You have to find ways to win with the pieces you have in place.

Can the team find its way to winning again? This game against the Colts could be very telling.

It’s been a real struggle for the Broncos to get going. Even under Vic Fangio’s defense, Von Miller didn’t have a sack until week four, when he had two. He has 2.5 total sacks this year, which could be concerning. However, the defense has started to click lately.

That leads me into my first key to getting a Denver Broncos victory against the Colts.
