The Broncos sit at 6-6 with 5 games left in the season basically having to win out the rest of the season or at worst go 4-1 down the stretch. 3 of the last 5 games are divisional games so it is absolutely crucial they win those. They are still in the thick of things when it comes to the playoff race and a win vs the Lions this Sunday could be huge. It is likely the Broncos win but with how inconsistent this team has been I would not be surprised in the least bit if they lose that game. The Broncos should not take the 1-10-1 lions lightly and here are my rapid fire keys to the game to ensure a victory on Sunday and keep up with the rest of the AFC:
Offense
- Run the ball 30 times (Lions rank 28th on rum Defense)
- Take deep shots off of play-action
- Stay in 3rd and manageable
- Avoid Turnovers
- Jump out to early lead
2. Defense
- Apply Pressure( send extra rushers)
- Make Detroit push the ball downfield
- Don't allow them to get in a rhythm offensively like Minnesota did
- Stay Healthy(avoid injuries)
3. Special Teams
- Don't screw it up (Thats all!)
( Every time they screw up all I can think of is Tony Romo botching the snap as a holder in the Wildcard vs Seattle and I really hope the Broncos season does not end on a special teams blunder if they do make the postseason.)
The Keys were not as in-depth as usual but I didn't feel it had to be against an opponent they should beat fairly easily. Mainly they just have stay focused and jump on the Lions early. The last thing they want is Detroit gaining confidence throughout the game and start believing they can come away with a victory.
Predictions:
Broncos 28-10
Teddy- 1 TD 175 yards
Williams/Gordon- 150+ yards and 3 TDs
Defense- 5 Sacks 1 Int
