Week 14:  Carolina Panthers- Steven Kriz

The Broncos enter this week-14 matchup against the Panthers reeling just a bit having lost two in a row to two of the top teams in the league.  The Panthers are just the team at this time to get them back on track, having lost 4 in a row by a combined 58 points.

Denver opens the game with field goals on their first two possessions to secure an early lead and extends it behind a 62-yard bomb up the sideline by Courtland Sutton that sets up a 4-yard touchdown pass to Albert O.

In the second quarter, Carolina gets some CMac magic, bringing the score to 13-7, but Bryce Callahan steps in front of a CMac pass attempt and takes the interception to the house.

The Broncos come out firing in the second half with Drew Lock adding two more touchdown passes, eclipsing the 400-yard passing mark for the first time in his career and Phillip Lindsay adds another touchdown for good measure.

This game turns into a good old-fashioned beat down that Broncos Country became accustomed to in the Peyton Manning days.

Final Score:  Broncos 41  Panthers 10
