3. The offensive line

The offensive linemen for the Denver Broncos against the Miami Dolphins were all studs.

It was a tremendous performance all-around from these guys, whose most notable work came in pass protection and on some perfectly executed pulls.

A couple of great indicators that your offensive line played really well:

1. 0 sacks allowed.

2. 5.7 yards per carry on the ground with 159 total rushing yards.

Garett Bolles, in particular, delivered a block pulling from his left tackle spot all the way to the other side of the field in which he absolutely destroyed the defensive back in pursuit.

With the starting quarterback Drew Lock questionable going into the game, the offensive line did its job to make sure the running game was stellar and effective throughout and most importantly — to protect the QB.
