Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:11:06 GMT

Justin Jefferson can’t remember the first time he faced triple coverage. It has become more prevalent in his football life over the past couple of seasons as he has established himself as the NFL’s best receiver. It’s almost as if the league as a whole simultaneously came to the same realization that double coverage isn’t enough.There was a perfect example of that earlier this season in a primetime game against the Philadelphia Eagles.On that particular play in the red zone, Jefferson lined up at the top of the formation, with fellow receiver K.J.

He’s capable of going on binges and Denver could really use one right about now. Simmons’ name isn’t going to stop coming up in trade talks until either he’s moved or the Oct. 31 deadline passes. A franchise staple, he’s starting to look like he’s playing healthy.Run game – kind ofPart of the shame of Denver’s complete lack of passing offense Thursday night is that the running game looked potent. The Broncos ran it early and often, but by the second half trailed 16-0 and had to get away from it some. They totaled 115 yards and 5.0 yards per carry but weren’t able to lean on the run game in the second half because of the goose egg on the scoreboard. Denver hasn’t had 20 non-quarterback runs in a game since its opener.DL Zach AllenAllen’s production has been hit-and-miss so far this season but ...
