Denver Broncos Lose Von Miller For Season

Of course, the biggest storyline for the Broncos going into Week 1 is that they are down their future Hall of Fame pass rusher. The Broncos were dealt a devastating blow early in the week with the news that Miller suffered a dislocated tendon in his ankle, likely to end his season.

The team remains optimistic that Von could return at some point, but his recovery will play a heavy role in whether he plays in 2020 or not.

Tannehill Looks to Make Magic Again

Tannehill did the improbable last year. He revitalized a drooping Titans team, winning five of their last seven games, and pulling off an upset over the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens to earn a date with the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship, which is where the magic faded. However, it was quite a ride.

There are whispers that Tannehill’s 2019 season was a fluke. With a new contract, there will be a lot of pressure on his shoulders for a repeat performance.
