The Broncos will take on the Lions at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday at 2:05 p.m. MST.
A LOOK AT THE MATCHUP
How will the Broncos respond?
After a disappointing and frustrating loss in Kansas City, that's the question at the center of Sunday's game against the Lions.
For Drew Lock and the offense, which mustered just three points a week ago, Detroit's defense offers the opportunity to rebound. Their defense allows 401.9 yards per game, which is second-worst in the NFL, and that includes an average of 288.6 yards through the air.
It's been a difficult season for the Lions, who have lost 10 of their last 11 games after starting the season 2-0-1, and after an injury to Matthew Stafford, Detroit is relying on rookie quarterback David Blough to lead the offense. Blough, though, has struggled in his first three starts, and his passer rating has fallen each week. To ensure that trend continues and put the Broncos in good shape to win, Von Miller and Co. will have to keep the pressure on Blough while Denver's secondary adjusts to life without Kareem Jackson, who is suspended for the final two games of the season.
If the Broncos can do that and earn a win on Sunday, they'll have a shot to finish the season on a 4-1 run and potentially have the franchise's best record since 2016.
INJURY UPDATE
Several Broncos players have battled illnesses throughout the week, including tight end Noah Fant, guard Dalton Risner and defensive lineman Kyle Peko, who are all listed as questionable for Sunday's game.
Defensive ends Dre'Mont Jones and DeMarcus Walker are also listed as questionable as they recover from ankle injuries.
Starting offensive linemen Ron Leary (concussion) and Ja'Wuan James (knee) have been ruled out, alongside defensive end Adam Gotsis (knee), who underwent surgery earlier this week.
The Lions, meanwhile, will be without at least three starters. Linebacker Christian Jones and defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson were ruled out on Friday with shoulder injuries, while tackle Rick Wagner is out with a knee injury. Starting outside linebacker Devon Kennard (hamstring) and running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) are listed as questionable.
