Alright everyone lets FOCUS. What are our thoughts on this matchup next week for us. MAJOR playoff implications here, a win give us the tie breaker over houston if we need it.
Houston has an impressive pass offense ranking 3rd in the NFL but a terrible rushing offense ranked 4th WORST (thank god). They have a very solid defensive line but a suspect passing defense
We are looking good but is CJ Stroud looking better? What are our thoughts here
Personally I can see this going both ways but i’ll give the edge to the momentum of the broncos at 27-30 after Houston misses a buzzer beater field goal with 2 seconds left on the clock.
Edit: Vegas has Houston at (-3.5)
I think Denver matches up well, being on the road makes it tougher. The Texans skill players are massively outplaying expectations, but Denver has the secondary to win that match up. OL wise they’re very beatable, Tunsil is very good and Mason is another good player but otherwise I think we should be able to get some good pressure. I think with our varied coverages and pressure looks we have the defense to cause Stroud to have one of his rookie games. Their run game is fairly weak which is huge for Denver. We’re the best secondary they’ve faced yet, and they’ve had lower outputs against some good secondaries like the Saints, Falcons
They have some pass rushers, but their defense is the weakest we’ve faced in months. Probably since the Bears game. If the team can continue to success on the ground game that’ll be huge, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is one of the most productive games for the passing O so far.
Of course these things never play out as expected so I guess we’ll see lol
