Very impressive win for our Broncos! Came out and played aggressive football on both sides of the ball and both sides looked pretty darn good most of the time.
Few thoughts here though...I think our defense was just so close to having that dominant statement game. I would say 7 of the points on the scoreboard are hard to blame on them considering Arizona started at the 5 yard line and the 81 yard touchdown pass was in my opinion just about pure dumb luck. He threw into double coverage and somehow both of our guys just barely missed. Now given the defense did give up the play so they have to be held accountable for it but I would say 99 out of 100 times that pass is knocked down, picked off, or at least the receiver is stopped right there. Just a bit of a fluke play. Otherwise defense just looked dominant. I know it was against 2nd and 3rd string quarterback but the pressure our group put on was against a starting OL that hadn't given up a pressure in what 2 games by the Tackles at least.
Two guys on defense that just completely stuck out to me are Von Miller and Chris Harris (our Two ACL Guys!). Von Miller looks like his old just flat out unblockable self. The guy was everywhere. Harris should have had 2 picks in the game and it just seemed like he was always in lock down coverage. I honestly think he is our top corner this year ahead of Talib and Talib has been playing pretty well in his own right.
Offensively pass blocking was just about as good as it gets. You expect that when a team sends just about everybody they can at you that they will get to the quarterback at least a few times but other than a sack the Broncos OL and RB's really held their own and dominated. DT just put all doubts about him to bed. Had the best game of his life and that was with a 77 yard touchdown called back! Man oh man I am excited to finally see with him and Sanders both firing what this offense can do the rest of the season.
Still shaking my head at the running game but do have to say they did finally show some signs of life at the end so leaves me with some hope that something can happen.
Overall though when you beat an undefeated team with one of the top defenses in the league by 21 points you really can't complain too much. Great team win!
