Broncos Week 9 Takeaways
3. The Broncos are making the playoffs
This win today proved that the Broncos are one of the better teams in football. Although they sit in third place in their division at the moment, they're going to find a way to make the playoffs. They're only one game behind first-place. With everything that happened with the Las Vegas Raiders, there's a chance that their season explodes on them.
The Broncos are always going to play good defense. Now that their offense is starting to click, they're going to be a sneaky team come playoff time.
2. Teddy Bridgewater is the most underrated quarterback in football
What more does Bridgewater need to prove in this league? Everywhere he goes he's made his team compete at the highest level. On Sunday he took his team into Dallas and came away with an easy victory. He's going to continue playing like this for the rest of the season and is going to lead his team to the playoffs.
Bridgewater didn't do anything too out of the ordinary. He didn't have a crazy game by any means. Bridgewater was still able to throw for 249 yards and a touchdown.
1. They will need some offensive lineman to step up
Although the Broncos had a great win on Sunday, there were some unfortunate events that took place. The Broncos had two more offensive linemen injured. That's going to be a problem. They want to protect their quarterback. In football, your offense is only going to be as good as your line is.
The Broncos are going to need some guys to step up and at the very least be serviceable for their line. Teddy Bridgewater is going to need it, and so will running back Melvin Gordon.
Denver traded their longest-tenured player this past week in Von Miller. Many people questioned the decision. He's been the anchor of that defense for the last decade. The Broncos were able to come out today and only give up 16 points against a very good Dallas offense. Fans have to be excited that the Broncos were still able to play above-average defense without the guy who's been calling the plays for the last decade
This was a huge win for the Broncos. It's going to lead them to more success. They'll have a tough road ahead of them. Every game that they're playing from here on out is going to make a difference in the playoff standings.
