One of the more prominent names who ended up on injured reserve was Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-jerry-jeudy-hilarious-reaction-to-ankle-donations-after-devastating-injury/">who suffered an ankle injury</a> against the New York Giants.</p><p>In his absence, fellow Broncos wideout KJ Hamler will be expected to take on a bigger role in the offense. Coincidentally enough, it’s Hamler who blames himself for the Jeudy injury happeneing, <a href="https://www.denverpost.com/2021/09/15/broncos-kj-hamler-increased-role-jerry-jeudy-injury/">per the Denver Post</a>.</p><blockquote>“It’s messed up that Jerry has to go through this right now, and at the time, I was I kind of putting his injury on me,” Hamler said. “Because if I would’ve caught that touchdown, that probably would’ve never happened.”</blockquote><p>Hamler was so distraught by the injury to the star receiver for the Broncos that as soon as he got back to Denver he worked on over-the-shoulder catches.</p><blockquote>“After the game, and the next few days, (the drop) was still on my mind,” Hamler said. “I came out here (to Broncos headquarters) on Monday and I told one of the assistants to just throw me 100 over-the-shoulder deep balls. And the wind was blowing the same way it was when we were in New York, so it was kind of perfect just to get that repetition so that I won’t drop that again.”</blockquote><p>Hopefully Hamler is able to put out of mind the thought that he was the cause of Jeudy’s injury and can ball out for the Broncos the rest of the way.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While Jeudy will indeed miss some time after his scary-looking ankle injury, it’s officially not a season-ending problem.</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1437491194171314181" rel="noopener">ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Jeudy</a> will miss 4-6 weeks with the injury. That’s obviously still a decent chunk of the season, but it looked like it could have been a lot worse when it initially happened. The young Denver Broncos wide receiver got his leg pinned when he was tackled on a 20-yard reception in a 27-13 Week 1 victory over the New York Giants. He had to be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-denver-wr-jerry-jeudy-carted-off-with-a-concerning-ankle-injury/" rel="noopener">carted to the locker room.</a></p><p>Jeudy came into this Broncos season with high expectations. After going 15th overall to Denver in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Alabama product caught 52 passes for 856 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie. The 22-year-old had six catches for 72 yards against the Giants before leaving the game.</p><p>With Jerry Jeudy out for at least a month, the Broncos will rely more on fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick and KJ Hamler. Noah Fant is also a solid target at tight end. Teddy Bridgewater looked good in his Denver debut, and he’ll have to make do without one of his top weapons for a while.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Sunday against the Giants, he hauled in six passes for 72 yards before getting hurt in the third quarter on a 20-yard reception. His right leg got pinned as he got tackled by a Giants defender.</p><p>Jeudy’s injury was a bummer on such a great day for Denver. Teddy Bridgewater looked terrific in his Broncos debut, completing 28 out of 36 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. He didn’t turn the ball over and was sacked just twice.</p><p>Meanwhile, the running game also had a lot of success. Melvin Gordon rushed for 101 yards and had a 70-yard touchdown run.

This was was what New York Giants head coach Joe Judge had to deal with on Sunday as his team fell flat against the visiting Denver Broncos who handed them their first loss of the season, 27-13.</p><p>It was the first time since the 2019 season that fans were allowed MetLife Stadium. A whopping 74,000 people were in attendance and, unfortunately, a good chunk of this mammoth East Rutherford crowd decided to call it a night after their home team was down as much as 20 points early in the fourth period. This left the minority of the crowd the Broncos’ colors chanting the name of the visiting star QB Teddy Bridgwater amid the utter silence from the Giants’ fanbase.</p><blockquote>“We’ve got to earn their respect,” Judge said after the loss (via <a href="https://twitter.com/NYPost_Schwartz/status/1437207742658252806">Paul Schwartz of The NY Post</a>) after the 39-year-old head coach, as well as other Giants players, saw their fans leave the arena early.</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Joe Judge and several Giants players expressing the same sentiment:<br>We saw the fans leaving early and we have to play better to get them to stay in their seats.<br>“We’ve got to earn their respect,” Judge said.</p><p>— Paul Schwartz (@NYPost_Schwartz) <a href="https://twitter.com/NYPost_Schwartz/status/1437207742658252806?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">September 13, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>After a 6-10 record to end the 2020 NFL season, expectations are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/the-giants-x-factor-for-2021-nfl-season-and-its-not-saquon-barkley/">quite high</a> on Judge and his squad. With former Offensive ROTY Saquon Barkley returning after a season-ending knee injury last season as well as QB Daniel Jones leading the way, fans are expecting that this season’s Giants finally make a much-awaited return to the post-season after a four-year absence.</p><p>As it stands, though, it seems that the Giants still need to work on a ton of things to help them get some wins on the board as well as make sure fans stay until the final whistle.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This was somewhat expected, but it must be frustrating for so many players who expected the running back to carry their team this year to hear that he will not play at full capacity right away.

This is an exciting matchup between two quarterbacks who have struggled recently, but still have tons of potential. It’s time to continue our NFL odds series and make a Broncos-Giants prediction and pick.</p><p>In Denver, Teddy Bridgewater has arrived to take over the starting quarterback job. With Sam Darnold now in Carolina, Bridgewater lost the job there after a solid 2020. Now he joins a Broncos team looking for its first playoff appearance since Denver won Super Bowl 50 in 2016.</p><p>Meanwhile, Daniel Jones enters his third season as the Giants quarterback, in what very well may be his last season in East Rutherford if Jones can’t show the potential the Giants drafted him for.</p><p>Here’s how the <a href="https://mybookie.ag/sportsbook/nfl/" rel="noopener">bookmakers</a> have set the lines for Sunday’s matchup.</p><h2><b>NFL Odds: Broncos-Giants Odds</b></h2><p>Denver Broncos (-160)</p><p>New York Giants (+135)</p><p>Over 41 1/2 points (-110)</p><p>Under 41 1/2 points (-110)</p><p><i><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">fuboTV (Click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Broncos Could Win</b></h2><p>The Broncos have one of the league’s best defenses, led by linebacker Von Miller. Facing Daniel Jones, who was prone to fumbles last season, this Broncos defense is a good candidate to limit points on Sunday, as Jones will feel the pressure from the beginning of the game.</p><p>On offense, new Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater joins a group that includes former Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. While this offense on paper doesn’t appear to be anything too special, I believe Bridgewater will have a tremendous year with a fresh start in Denver.</p><p>This is the perfect matchup for the Broncos in Week 1, aside from the fact that they’re flying cross-country. But Von Miller will record multiple sacks of Daniel Jones, while Bridgewater and Jeudy will connect for a touchdown at some point in this game. As the over/under indicates, this game should be a low-scoring one, but the strength of the Broncos’ defensive unit could help lead them to a victory of something like 21-17.</p><h2><b>Why The Giants Could Win</b></h2><p>After throwing for 22 interceptions and fumbling the ball 29 times over his first two NFL seasons, the Giants need a huge step up from Daniel Jones this season if he wants a long-term future as this team’s quarterback. And I think this is the year — and the game — that Jones shows the potential he had when he was drafted out of Duke University. With a receiving corps that added Kenny Golladay in the offseason, Jones will have improved receivers to throw to.</p><p>The return of Saquon Barkley is huge as well. He played in just two games last season after tearing his ACL, but with him returning at running back, it will open up the field for Jones. Plus, Barkley himself is one of the league’s best running backs and should find success in this game, even against a difficult Broncos front-seven. I like the Giants to win the NFC East this year, and Jones begins a turnaround season in Week 1 with a two-touchdown game in a win against the Broncos.</p><h2><b>Final Broncos-Giants Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Daniel Jones begins a sensational Week 3 with a dominant performance against the Broncos. In a solid defensive effort for both teams, the Giants sneak by, 21-14. Barkley adds a rushing touchdown and reminds us that he hasn’t lost a step in returning to the field. Picking the Giants as home underdogs here seems like incredible value.</p><p>FINAL PICK: Giants MONEYLINE (+135)</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The victim thankfully didn’t suffer any life-threatening injuries.</p><p>Police confiscated a fully-loaded seven round magazine with the safety off from Justin Lewis Bannan, as well as two more loaded magazines and another ten-round gun with seven bullets inside, and one bullet in the chamber.

However, that could just be a miscalculation from Garrett, although all signs have pointed to Barkley being ready to go.</p><p>The Giants could limit his workload, which would make sense, but it is definitely encouraging that he participated in practice. Barkley, when healthy, is one of the best running backs in the NFL, and the Giants are sure excited to get him back after he played in only two games during the 2020 campaign.</p><p>Prior to that, he had 1000 yards in each of the first two seasons, with an impressive rookie line of 1307 yards and 11 scores on the ground with four more and 721 yards in the receiving game.

An offense that just needs to do the bare minimum and let the defense do the rest is perfect for Bridgewater. That strategy presents some obvious risks because the team needs the defense to be absolutely elite. You know what you’re getting from a Teddy Bridgewater led offense and that’s why he’s not the X factor for this team. The defense has to be elite so the leader of the defense has to be elite as well.</p><p>Here is the Broncos X factor for the 2021 NFL season.</p><h2><b>Broncos X Factor: Von Miller</b></h2><p>Miller is certainly not the player he once was now being 32-years old, but he can still be an elite anchor for this Broncos defense. The pass rush is probably the biggest question mark on what should be an elite defense. The secondary is going to be among the best with Bryce Callahan, Kyle Fuller, and the recent first round pick Patrick Surtain II so there shouldn’t be many issues there. Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson will be the starting safeties which no team would complain about.</p><p>The pass rush is set to be the biggest question on the defense for a couple reasons. First, this defense doesn’t really have any other big questions. We know what to expect for the most part. Second, both Von Miller and Bradley Chubb are returning from injuries. Miller missed the entirety of the 2020 season and <a href="https://twitter.com/AricDiLalla/status/1434973818666246152">Chubb has been absent from recent practices</a> and is questionable for Week 1. That duo is going to be huge for this Broncos defense and could ultimately be the deciding factor in whether or not the team makes the playoffs.</p><p>Bradley Chubb is still only 25 and Von Miller is 32. Both have dealt with injuries and underperformance recently so they’ll have to step up for 2021. In situations like these it’s up to the veteran leader to show he has what it takes to lead the younger player.</p><p>Miller had double digit sacks in every season from 2014-2018 before regression down to 8.0 in 2019. He didn’t play in 2020 which is setting him up for a bounce back for the ages on defense.</p><p>This is a Broncos team that can be very good. Perhaps good enough to sneak into a wild card spot despite being in a division with the Kansas City Chiefs. The same Chiefs that have won 11 straight games versus the Broncos since 2015. In order for the Broncos to take that next step their best players and veteran leaders need to show they can still be elite and that all starts with Von Miller.</p><p>Obviously guys like Chubb, Callahan, and Simmons can be leaders but in the end, a team set up like this needs everyone playing to their highest capabilities. Can Von Miller rise up and return to the formidable pass rusher we saw a few years ago? The Broncos are going to need him to be.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The league denied those requests because surveillance video from Denver’s facility showed the quarterbacks had tried to fool the system. They had removed their contact-tracing devices and put them in the four corners of the meeting room, then they sat together to watch film. That close contact automatically made them ineligible to play.</blockquote><p>Removing the contact tracing bracelets is quite the bold move that the Broncos tried pulling off but ultimately it didn’t work.

Teddy Bridgewater was named the starting quarterback for this season in a move that basically tells us the Drew Lock experiment is coming to a close. The former second-round pick lost his job to the journeyman Bridgewater.</p><p>Moving past the quarterback on offense, the weapons and the offensive line should be all right. Courtland Sutton is returning from a full-season injury in 2020, Jerry Jeudy is in line for a potential year-two breakout, and Noah Fant is a fine tight end. The running backs are Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams, a pairing that will be around the league average. There’s one common theme with every position group on the Broncos. They all appear extremely average on paper. That’s where the defense comes in.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>Defensively, things are looking great for the Broncos. Von Miller and Bradley Chubb are making their returns and Patrick Surtain II was drafted early in the first round to help a secondary with Justin Simmons, Ronald Darby, and Bryce Callahan, among others. The defense is ready to be one of the best in the NFL, but can it be good enough to carry this team to the playoffs?</p><p>Here are four bold predictions for the Broncos’ season.</p><h2><b>Broncos Predictions:</b></h2><h2><b>Teddy Bridgewater starts at least 14 games</b></h2><p>Let’s give some leeway for injury or COVID-related absences here, but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-denver-names-teddy-bridgewater-starting-qb-over-drew-lock/">Teddy Bridgewater</a> will not be replaced by Drew Lock or anyone else due to poor performance this year. This is the exact type of situation Teddy should thrive in. All he has to do is score around 23 points per game and let the defense do the rest. Teddy will bore you to death while watching him play, but at the end of the game he’ll have 250 yards and two touchdowns and somehow the Broncos will win 23-18.</p><p>Bridgewater likely won’t play at such a great level that he’s irreplaceable, but stability and lack of a better backup may force the Broncos’ hand even if Teddy is terrible. It’s unlikely he’s anything worse than the 20th-best quarterback in the league, and that should be just fine.</p><h2><b>Javonte Williams quickly becomes the clear lead running back</b></h2><p>Melvin Gordon appears to be starting the season as the top running back for Denver, but that shouldn’t last long. Gordon is not at all the player he once was with the Chargers. The Broncos are well aware of that. They actually traded up in the second round to take Williams, the eventual replacement for Gordon. There is one year remaining on the Melvin Gordon contract, so Williams is sure to be the replacement entering next season. It would be wise to just let the young player take over sooner rather than later. Melvin Gordon is fine, but his ceiling is so low compared to what Williams could bring to the Denver offense. They’ll split carries early with Williams quickly becoming the lead running back.</p><p>Both Gordon and Williams are said to have a very similar skill set, but with Williams being younger, he may be the more enticing option. Williams can play the same role as Gordon, but because of their ages, Williams could explode and quickly become a three-down back. He certainly has the skill set to do it, but will Denver give in and tell Gordon to take a back seat? It’ll be something to watch for fantasy managers and Broncos fans.</p><h2><b>The Broncos end their double-digit losing streak to the Chiefs in Week 18</b></h2><p>As of this moment, the Denver Broncos have lost 11 straight games to the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s over five seasons of losing to the same team every single time the two teams play each other. The 2021 season will finally be the year the Broncos beat the Chiefs again and it will happen in Week 18 at home. The Broncos are going to play a very annoying, slow-paced, careful game, especially against Kansas City.</p><p>This will also be in Week 18, so the Chiefs could very well be resting any given player as they prepare for another Super Bowl run. This prediction absolutely has a loophole! If the Broncos take on the Chiefs in Week 18 with something to play for — and the Chiefs don’t — I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they came away with a win, ending the long losing streak.</p><h2><b>The Broncos will sneak into a wild card spot </b></h2><p>The playoffs are back for Denver and their fans for the first time since the Super Bowl win back in the 2015 season. The rebuild isn’t coming to an end — no rebuild should ever conclude with a quarterback like Teddy Bridgewater — but their situation is similar to the one in Washington. A very solid roster could have been supplemented with a quarterback in the draft, but instead both teams are rolling with a veteran. For Washington it’s Ryan Fitzpatrick, and for Denver it’s Teddy Bridgewater. Both teams are also trying to escape the rebuild a little quicker than many thought.</p><p>Denver is right in the range of 8.5 wins on most over/under betting sites. That ninth win could very well end up determining who makes the playoffs. It will likely take at least 10 wins to make it, but getting to win number nine gives every team a sliver of a chance. The division is going to go to Kansas City barring some unforeseen injuries or meltdown, so if Denver wants a playoff spot, it’ll be through the wild card. That’s where Week 18 comes in. Denver will end its losing streak to Kansas City and secure a playoff berth in the same game.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s time to continue our NFL odds series and make a Rams-Broncos prediction and pick.</p><p>The Rams enter the final week of the preseason after two lackluster showings against the Los Angeles Charges and the Las Vegas Raiders. Head coach Sean McVay has a notorious hatred for the preseason, so it’s not all that surprising to see the Rams bench all of their starters and lose two games in a row. The Broncos, on the other hand, have made great use of these meaningless games. Denver officially ironed out their quarterback competition and won both games in the process. The Broncos will try to keep their preseason record perfect in this one.</p><p>Here’s how the<a href="https://classic.betonline.ag/sportsbook/football/nfl"> bookmakers</a> have set the odds for Saturday’s game.</p><h2><b>NFL Odds: Rams-Broncos Odds</b></h2><p>Los Angeles Rams +8 1/2 (-105)</p><p>Denver Broncos -8 1/2 (-115)</p><p>Over 33 1/2 points (-110)</p><p>Under 33 1/2 points (-110)</p><p><i><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">fuboTV (Click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Rams Could Win</b></h2><p>The Rams haven’t let a single starter touch the field this preseason, but you wouldn’t know it if you just looked at the defense. These third and fourth-string defenders haven’t allowed more than 20 points in either preseason game. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris’s unit has also racked up five sacks and ten quarterback hits over the last two games. The Rams have looked like one of the better defenses in the preseason, and that should continue against a Broncos offense that should be playing without plenty of starters for the first time.</p><p>Los Angeles has also gotten some pretty solid quarterback play from their backups. John Wolford is nursing an injury and Devlin Hodges was recently cut, so it looks like Bryce Perkins is in line to take all the snaps at quarterback in this game. That was the case against the Raiders, and Perkins performed admirably. He was efficient through the air and added a rushing element to the offense while only committing one turnover. Another performance like that will give the Rams a chance to win their first preseason game of the season.</p><h2><b>Why The Broncos Could Win</b></h2><p>The Broncos have dominated their preseason matchups in large part due to their superior quarterback play. Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock have both seen significant snaps throughout the preseason, and both of them have been great. Head coach Vic Fangio just announced that Bridgewater will start in the regular season, but we have no idea how much he’ll play in this one. Even if Bridgewater sits the entire game, Lock is more than capable of leading this offense to a win against a preseason defense. The Broncos should have a huge upper hand on offense throughout the entire game solely because of their quarterback play.</p><p>In addition to their outstanding offensive play, the Broncos have put forth a defensive showing of equal quality. Their opponents have combined to score nine points in two games. Their secondary has been particularly impressive, as no wide receiver who’s played against Denver has surpassed 35 yards receiving. This unit has shown themselves to be one of the best units in the preseason, and that shouldn’t change against a Rams offense that hasn’t scored more than 20 points yet.</p><h2><b>Final Rams-Broncos Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>It’s hard to pick an eight-and-a-half point favorite in the preseason, but the Broncos are the right choice here. They’ve looked completely dominant on defense using a bunch of backups, and the Rams’ obvious disregard for the preseason doesn’t inspire any confidence. Denver should be able to end the preseason undefeated and cover the spread easily.</p><p>FINAL PICK: Denver Broncos -8 1/2 (-115)</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Bridgewater looked smooth in making his reads and moving the Denver offense down the field.</p><p>Lock was the starter for much of the season last year in Denver but struggled to take care of the ball. He has the higher ceiling and there might still be untapped potential with him, but the Broncos opted to go with the veteran Bridgewater.</p><p>Teddy came over from the Carolina Panthers in the offseason. He had a pretty vanilla season with the Panthers despite having some solid weapons to throw to like Robby Anderson, Curtis Samuel and D.J. Moore.</p><p>At one point this offseason, the Broncos front office appeared to have set their goals super high on trying to pry Aaron Rodgers away from the Green Bay Packers. That dream died when Rodgers returned to the Packers for the 2021 season. Now, they’ll roll with Bridgewater.</p><p>The AFC West looks to be super strong and with quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert holding down the fort in Kansas City and Los Angeles, respectively, there will be some added pressure for Bridgewater to keep the Broncos within shouting distance this year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-drew-lock-teddy-bridgewater-qb-battle-updated-by-coach-vic-fangio/">other battles</a> is the Denver Broncos, as they decide between Drew Lock and Tedd Bridgewater. Lock, the Broncos’ incumbent, looks to be the favorite. However, Bridgewater has performed well in practice and in the preseason games.</p><p>Broncos head coach Vic Fangio spoke on the situation, and <a href="https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/08/24/vic-fangio-teddy-bridgewater-drew-lock-have-made-decision-too-close-to-call/">according to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk,</a> the battle is up in the air–still.</p><blockquote>“We haven’t decided that yet…We just want to do it at the right time, meaning the right time obviously for the players involved, the team, for everybody.”</blockquote><p>That isn’t entirely a surprise, but the Broncos will need to make a decision soon. Could they end up playing BOTH guys for the regular-season opener? Let’s hope not, but don’t rule out that possibility.</p><p>On the other, the Broncos’ battle is a good one, and that might not be a bad scenario for Fangio and company.</p><blockquote>“It’s pretty damn close…It is close, and I think it’s close for a good reason. They both have played well. The good news of this competition is we’ve got two quarterbacks we feel we can go win with.”</blockquote><p>Still, the regular season kicks off on September 12 and the Broncos will face the New York Giants, and they will have a tough decision to make over the next couple of weeks.</p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
