Matchups: Denver Broncos Secondary against Robby Anderson

Broncos fans probably have Robby Anderson nightmares, as he torched the Broncos for 2 long touchdowns in 2018 as a member of the New York Jets.

With the Panthers, Anderson is having a great year with 75 catchers – 912 yards – 2 touchdowns.

His all-around play has been phenomenal for this team and will pose a tough matchup for the Broncos.

The Broncos secondary is down their top corner (Bryce Callahan – injury) and their second corner (A.J. Bouye – suspension).

The Broncos brought back fan-favorite Will Parks to help handle the nickel spot, but this team will be tested.

Look for the Broncos to use less man and keep the safeties in play over the top to protect Michael Ojemudia and De’Vante Bausby, and the rest of the Broncos’ inexperienced corners.

For both Bausby and Ojemudia, this is an opportunity to put a string of games together that may impact how the Broncos look at the cornerback room in 2021. If both players show they belong, they may have a solid role in 2021, and in Ojemudia’s case, a starting spot.

Parks is playing to show the league the player he can be, and not the wasted talent the Philidephia Eagles forgot to use this season.

Look for these matchups to dictate who wins this week.
